A Tricky Tale - In the Cage Lyrics

I got sunshine in my stomach
Like I just rocked a 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
Life liquid turn sour within
Turn fast - turn sour
Turn sweat - turn sour
Must tell myself that I'm not here
I'm drowning in an emotional fear
Bottled in a strong compression
My distortion shows obsession
In this cave
Get me out of this cave

If I keep my 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 all dressed up forced to perform
The costumes tight! Will I conform
My minds stretching, feel the wrenching
In this cage
Get me out of this cage

In the glare of a light
I see a strange kind of sight
Of cages joined to form a star
Each person can't go very far
All tied to their things
They're netted by their strings
Free to flutter in memories of their wasted wings
In this dang, Cage
Outside the cage I see my Brother Cal
He turns 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 'Cal please help me
But he does not even want to try to speak
I'm helpless in my silent rage
A confused tear of love dribbles down his cheek
And I watch him turn away and leave the cage
My little runaway

Rain drops keep falling on my head, they keep falling on my
Rain drops keep falling on my head, they keep falling on my
Rain drops keep falling on my head, they keep falling on my
Rain drops keep falling on my head
They keep falling on my head

In a trap, feel a strap
Fear to feel? I FEEL
Chances narrow that I'll make it
In the cushioned straight-jacket
Just like Stevens Creek
They want me by my neck and feet
Pressures building, can't take more
Headaches charge, my earaches roar
In this pain, oh oh oh
Get me out of this pain. Oh oh ah

If I could change to liquid
I could fill the cracks up in the rocks
I know that I am solid
And I am my own bad luck. Outside Cal disappears, my cage dissolves
Without any thought, without any reason, my body revolves
Keep on turning, Keep on turning, Keep on Turning, keep on
Turning, turning, turning, turning, around, Spinning around
Round, round, round, round, round, round, round, round, round, round
OH, somebody get me out of this cage! Oh God, get me out of this cage
