Rattling Cage

Rattling Cage

Little girl, yeah we’ve never known a prison in this world
But now our tears they fall like water, colors, city lights they run
All that remains is charcoal stars
Faint sound of freedom in our ears
Speeding away like stolen cars, oh

Don’t it seem, like everyone has found some calling here
Are we the only ones gone crazy, frozen faces in the dark
Knowing we’re so far from home
I’d like to meet you off the train
Kiss your hand and say let’s go, oh

Yeah it’s killing me that I can’t save us
It’s not as simple as it was before
It’s hard to live in this concrete valley
And not get lost in the fray
Feeling helpless, helpless, shaking our rattling cage

Where’s your head, ‘cause sometimes I don’t know just where you are
You wanna try our hand as gypsies, I swear you’ve never looked so tired
And your shoes are just as worn
I wouldn’t miss these crooked smiles
Everybody’s keepin’ score, oh

Yeah it’s killing me that I can’t save us
It’s not as simple as it was before
It’s hard to live in this concrete valley
And not get lost in the fray
Feeling helpless, helpless shaking our rattling cage

It can’t be much longer now
It can’t be much longer now, much longer now

Yeah it’s killing me that I can’t save us
It’s not as simple as it was before
It’s hard to live in this concrete valley
And not get lost in the fray
Feeling helpless, helpless shaking our rattling
Helpless, helpless shaking our rattling
Helpless, helpless shaking our rattling cage
