Well I don't feel better 
 When I'm fucking around 
 And I don't write better 
 When I'm stuck in the ground 
 So don't teach me a lesson 
 Cause I've already learned 
 Yeah the sun will be shining 
 And my children will burn 
    oh the heart beats in its cage   
 I don't want what you want 
 I don't feel what you feel 
 See I'm stuck in a city 
 But I belong in a field   
 yeah we got left, left,left, left,left, left, left   
 Now it's three in the morning and you're eating alone   
 oh the heart beats in its cage   
 All our friends, they're laughing at us 
 All of those you loved you mistrust 
 Help me I'm just not quite myself 
 Look around there's no one else left 
 I went to the concert and I fought through the crowd 
 Guess I got too excited when I thought you were around   
 oh he gets left, left, left, left, left, left, left   
 I'm sorry you were thinking I would steal your fire.   
 oh the heart beats in its cage 
 yes the heart beats in its cage 
 alright 
 oh the heart beats in its cage
