My Body Is a Cage (Oxford London Temple Version) - Peter Gabriel

My body is a cage That keeps me from dancing with the one I love But my mind holds the key My body is a cage That keeps me from dancing with the one I love But my mind holds the key I'm standing on a stage Of fear and self-doubt It's a hollow play But they'll clap anyway My body is a cage That keeps me from dancing with the one I love But my mind holds the key You're standing next to me My mind holds the key I'm living in an age That calls darkness light Though my language is dead Still the shapes fill my head I'm living in an age Whose name I don't know Though the fear keeps me moving Still my heart beats so slow My body is a cage That keeps me from dancing with the one I love But my mind holds the key You're standing next to me My mind holds the key My body is a... My body is a cage We take what we're given Just because you've forgotten That don't mean you're forgiven I'm living in an age that Screams my name at night But when I get to the doorway There's no one in sight I'm living in an age They laugh when I'm dancing with the one I love But my mind holds the key You're standing next to me My mind holds the key Set my spirit free Set my spirit free Set my body free Set my body free Set my spirit free Set my body free

Somewhere in my memory Christ the joy of our Christmas Living in my memory All of the music, all of the magic All of the family home here with me

Time shakes, found you at the water At first you were my father, now I love you like a brother Earthquakes shake the dust behind you This world at times will blind you Still I know I'll see you there Come a little closer, then you'll see Come on, come on, come on Things aren't always what they seem to be Come on, come on, come on Do you understand the things that you've been seeing? Come on, come on, come on Do you understand the things that you've been dreaming?

Will I be the same one Will be the same old kid that left from Vermont Will I have the same fun Will I let all my head back to where it was, oh Will I give the same love, or will I be stone cold for the rest of my life cause Oh can you tell, there's a body on my shoulders, on my shoulders Oh I'm fucked up in NOLA, with a body on my shoulders, it's true... And all the while I wait for you All the while I pray for you Will I get my hopes up Cause all I know right now is I'm dejected and alone, but If you hold my head up Carry this weight with me we'll find some solace But I let my eyes shut, and you come starin' down on me and my cold blood Oh can you tell, there's a body on my shoulders, on my shoulders Oh I'm fucked up in NOLA, with a body on my shoulders, it's true... And all the while I wait for you Oh and all the while we pray for you Tell me, tell me that I'll be fine I crashed down your door just to see if you're inside Cause oh in my head you come alive, alive We pump your chest 'till your breath comes back to life Oh can you tell, there's a body on these shoulders, on my shoulders Oh I'm fucked up in NOLA, with a body on my shoulders, on our shoulders Oh we're fucked up in NOLA, with a body on our shoulders, it's true... And all the while I wait for you, oh and all we pray for, pray for you Oh we're fucked up in NOLA, with a body our my shoulders, on our shoulders
