Cover art for In One Ear lyrics by Cage the Elephant
  • I ain't tryin to hide my flaws, I try to keep them in the light

I think it's "I'd rather keep them in the light" than try to keep them.

In any case, this song is so solid. I agree with whoever said Sound > Lyrics.

Lyric Correction

Yeah, it's "I'd rather keep them in the light."

@allyourproblems I'm fairly certain your'e right. I have never heard "try to keep them in the light" when listening to this. But then again I heard the COMPLETELY wrong thing when listening to "Come a Little Closer"
