Heart in a Cage Lyrics
Oh the heart beats in its cage
Well I don't feel better when I'm fucking around
And I don't write better when I'm stuck in the ground
So don't teach me a lesson, cause I've already learned
Yes the sun will be shining, and my children will burn
Oh the heart beats in its cage
I don't want what you want, and I don't feel what you feel
You see I'm stuck in the city, but I belong in a field
Oh we gotta laugh, laugh, laugh, laugh, laugh, laugh, laugh
Now it's three in the morning and you're eating along
Oh the heart beats in its cage
All your friends are laughing at us
All the ones you loved you mistrust
Help me now I'm not quite myself
Look around there's no one else left
Well I went to the concert, and I fought through the crowd
Guess I got too excited when I thought you were around
Oh I gotta laugh, laugh, laugh, laugh, laugh, laugh
And I'm sorry you were thinking that I would steal your fire
Oh the heart beats in its cage
Oh the heart beats in its cage
And I don't write better when I'm stuck in the ground
So don't teach me a lesson, cause I've already learned
Yes the sun will be shining, and my children will burn
You see I'm stuck in the city, but I belong in a field
Now it's three in the morning and you're eating along
All the ones you loved you mistrust
Help me now I'm not quite myself
Look around there's no one else left
Guess I got too excited when I thought you were around
And I'm sorry you were thinking that I would steal your fire
Oh the heart beats in its cage

I've listened to the original Strokes song, and it takes vision to adapt it to bluegrass instruments. Plus talent to play it. I love this version.
