Cage The Elephant - Back Against the Wall lyrics

[Verse 1] Tonight I'll have a look And try to find my face again Buried beneath this house my spirit screams and dies again Out back a monster wears a cloak of Persian leather Behind the TV screen I've fallen to my knees [Chorus] I said You've got me where you want me again and I can't turn away I'm hanging by a thread and I'm feeling like I'll fall I'm stuck here in between these shadows of my yesterday I want to get away I need to get away [Verse 2] Blanket of silence makes me want to sink my teeth in deep Burn all the evidence of fabricated disbelief Pull back the curtains, took a look into your eyes My tongue has now become a platform for your lies [Chorus] I said You've got me where you want me again and I can't turn away I'm hanging by a thread and I'm feeling like I'll fall I'm stuck here in between these shadows of my yesterday I want to get away I need to get away [Post-Chorus] Now you know, yeah, you've got my back against the wall Oh God I ain't got no other place to hide Chained down like a sitting duck just waiting for the fall You know, yeah, you've got my back against the wall [Verse 3] Deep in the jungle camouflaged by all the fallen leaves A hand holds up the sky while shamefully I make my plea The altar's calling but my legs won't seem to stand Guess I'm a coward scared to face the man I am [Chorus] I said You've got me where you want me again and I can't turn away I'm hanging by a thread and I'm feeling like I'll fall I'm stuck here in between these shadows of my yesterday I want to get away I need to get away [Post-Chorus](x2)
