Back Against the Wall (Unpeeled) - Cage The Elephant

Written by：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've got me where you want me again and I can't turn away

I'm hanging by a thread and I'm feeling like I'll fall

I'm stuck here in between these 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 of 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've got me where you want me again and I can't turn away

I'm hanging by a thread and I'm feeling like I'll fall

I'm stuck here in between these shadows of my yesterday

I want to get away

I need to get away

Now you know yeah you've got my back against the wall

Oh God I ain't got no other place to hide

Chained down like a sitting duck just waiting for the fall

You know yeah you've 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 altar's calling but my legs won't seem to stand

Guess I'm a coward scared to face the man I am

I said

You've got me where you want me again and I can't turn away

I'm hanging by a thread and I'm feeling like I'll fall

I'm stuck here in between these shadows of my yesterday

I want to get away

I need to get away

Now you know yeah you've got my back against the wall

Oh God I ain't got no other place to hide

Chained down like a sitting duck just waiting for the fall

You know yeah you've got my back against the wall

Now you know yeah you've got my back against the wall

Oh God I ain't got no other place to hide

Chained down like a sitting duck just waiting for the fall

You know yeah you've got my back against the wall
