Genesis - In The Cage (Medley) - 1994 Digital Remaster lyrics

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 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 "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 k** Chances narrow That 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...
