back against the wall

Cage The Elephant

Tonight IÂ?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 canÂ?t turn away
I'm hanging by thread and I'm feelinÂ? like a fool
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 canÂ?t turn away
I'm hanging by thread and I'm feelinÂ? like a fool
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 sittinÂ? duck just waitinÂ? 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 callinÂ?
But my legs wonÂ?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 canÂ?t turn away
I'm hanging by thread and I'm feelinÂ? like a fool
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 sittinÂ? duck just waitinÂ? 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 sittinÂ? duck just waitinÂ? for the fall
You know
Yeah you got my back against the wall
