Arcade Fire, "My Body is a Cage"

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


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


Set my spirit free

Set my spirit free

Set my body free
