In The Cage (Medley - The Cinema Show - Slipperman) Songtext / Lyric

I got sunshine in my stomach

Like I just rocked my baby to sleep

I got sunshine in my stomach

But I can't keep me from creeping sleep

Sleep, deep in the deep



Rockface moves

To press my skin

White liquids

Turn sour within

Turn fast

Turn sour

Turn sweat

Turn sour






Must tell myself

That I'm not here

I'm drowning in a liquid fear

Bottled in

A strong compression

My distortion

Shows obsession

In the cave

Get me out of this cave!



If I keep self-control

I'll be safe in my soul

And the childhood belief

Brings a moment's relief

But my cynic soon returns

And the lifeboat burns

My spirit just

Never learns



Stalactites

Stalagmites

Shut me in

Lock me tight

Lips are dry

Throat is dry

Feel like burning

Stomach churning

I'm dressed up in a white costume

Padding out

Left-over room



Body stretching

Feel the wretching

In the cage

Get me out of the cage!



In the glare of a light

I see a strange kind of sight

All cages joined to from a star

Each person can't go very far

All tied to their things

They are netted by their strings

Free to flutter

In memories

Of their wasted wings



Outside the cage

I see my brother John

He turn his head

So slowly round

I cry out "Help!"

Before he can be gone

And he looks at me

Without a sound



And I shout out

"John please help me!"

But he does not even want

To try to speak

I'm helpless in my violent rage



And a silent tear of blood

Dribbles down his cheek

And I watch him turn again

And leave the cage

My little runaway



Raindrops keep falling on my head

They keep falling on my

Raindrops keep falling on my head

They keep falling on my



In a trap

Feel a strap

Holding still

Pinned for kill



Chances narrow

Tat I'll make it

In the cushioned

Straitjacket

Just like 22nd St

And they got me

By my neck and feet



Pressure's building

Can't take more

My headache's charged

Earaches roar

In this pain

Get me out of this pain



If I could change to liquid

I could fill the cracks

Up in the rock

But I know that I am solid

And I am my

Own bad luck



Outside John disappears

And my cage dissolves

And without any reason

My body revolves



Keep on turning

Keep on turning

Keep on turning

Keep on turning

Keep on turning



Turning around

Just spinning around

Down, down, down...
