Back Against The Wall Lyrics - Cage The Elephant - Cage The Elephant

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 

I said you got me where you want me again 

And I can't turn away 

I'm hanging by thread and I'm feelin' like a ball 

I'm stuck here in-between 

The shadows of my yesterday 

I want to get away 

I need to get away

Blanket of silence 

Makes me want to sink my teeth in deep 

Burn all the evidence 

A fabricated disbelief 

Pull back the curtains 

Took a look into your eyes 

My tongue has now become 

A platform for your lies 

I said you got me where you want me again 

And I can't turn away 

I'm hanging by thread and I'm feelin' like a ball 

I'm stuck here in-between 

The shadows of my yesterday 

I want to get away 

I need to get away 

Photos 

Now you know 

Yeah you got my back against the wall 

Oh god 

I ain't got no other place to hide 

Chained down 

Like a sittin' duck just waitin' for the fall 

You know 

Yeah you got my back against the wall 

Deep in the jungle 

Camouflaged by all the fallen leaves 

A hand holds up the sky 

While shamefully I make my plea 

The alters callin' 

But my legs won't seem to stand 

Guess I'm a coward 

Scared to face the man I am 

I said you got me where you want me again 

And I can't turn away 

I'm hanging by thread and I'm feelin' like a ball 

I'm stuck here in-between 

The shadows of my yesterday 

I want to get away 

I need to get away 

Now you know 

Yeah you got my back against the wall 

Oh god 

I ain't got no other place to hide 

Chained down 

Like a sittin' duck just waitin' for the fall 

You know 

Yeah you got my back against the wall 

Now you know 

Yeah you got my back against the wall 

Oh god 

I ain't got no other place to hide 

Chained down 

Like a sittin' duck just waitin' for the fall 

You know 

Yeah you got my back against the wall
