My body is a cage

I'm standing on a stage

Of fear and self-doubt

It's a hollow play

But they'll clap anyway

My body is a cage that keeps me

From dancing with the one I love

But my mind holds the key

I'm living in an age

That calls darkness light

Though my language is dead

Still the shapes fill my head

I'm living in an age

Whose name I don't know

Though the fear keeps me moving

Still my heart beats so slow

My body is a cage that keeps me

From dancing with the one I love

But my mind holds the key

I'm living in an age

That screams my name at night

But when I get to the doorway

There's no one in sight

Peter Gabriel
