Lyrics

[00:06.46] I got sunshine in my stomach
[00:13.13] Like I just rocked my baby to sleep
[00:19.71] I got sunshine in my stomach
[00:26.21] But I can't keep me from creeping sleep
[00:33.40] Sleep, deep in the deep
[01:18.74] Rockface moves
[01:19.87] To press my skin
[01:21.46] White liquids
[01:22.68] Turn sour within
[01:24.16] Turn fast
[01:25.28] Turn sour
[01:26.49] Turn sweat
[01:27.62] Turn sour
[01:29.47] Must tell myself
[01:30.89] That I'm not here
[01:32.23] I'm drowning in a liquid fear
[01:35.03] Bottled in
[01:36.10] A strong compression
[01:37.98] My distortion
[01:39.09] Shows obsession
[01:40.98] In the cave
[01:44.28] Get me out of this cave!
[01:51.32] If I keep self-control
[01:53.56] I'll be safe in my soul
[01:56.68] And the childhood belief
[01:58.82] Brings a moment's relief
[02:01.85] But my cynic soon returns
[02:04.45] And the lifeboat burns
[02:07.63] My spirit just
[02:10.53] Never learns
[02:14.58] Stalactites
[02:16.13] Stalagmites
[02:17.44] Shut me in
[02:18.51] Lock me tight
[02:20.10] Lips are dry
[02:21.43] Throat is dry
[02:22.72] Feel like burning
[02:24.15] Stomach churning
[02:25.42] I'm dressed up in a white costume
[02:28.17] Padding out
[02:29.33] Left-over room
[02:30.93] Body stretching
[02:32.21] Feel the wretching
[02:34.39] In the cage
[02:39.47] Get me out of the cage!
[02:45.98] In the glare of a light
[02:48.85] I see a strange kind of sight
[02:51.79] All cages joined to from a star
[02:54.59] Each person can't go very far
[02:57.38] All tied to their things
[02:59.72] They are netted by their strings
[03:02.51] Free to flutter
[03:04.87] In memories
[03:06.26] Of their wasted wings
[03:09.31]
[04:35.64] Outside the cage
[04:38.09] I see my brother John
[04:42.04] He turns his head
[04:43.99] So slowly round
[04:46.68] I cry out "Help!"
[04:48.77] Before he can be gone
[04:53.37] And he looks at me
[04:55.89] Without a sound
[05:02.74] And I shout out
[05:03.80] "John please help me!"
[05:04.96] But he does not even want
[05:07.07] To try to speak
[05:09.35] I'm helpless in my violent rage
[05:13.72] And a silent tear of blood
[05:15.74] Dribbles down his cheek
[05:18.17] And I watch him turn again
[05:19.58] And leave the cage
[05:21.96] My little runaway
[05:30.70] Raindrops keep falling on my head
[05:33.02] They keep falling on my
[05:35.05] Raindrops keep falling on my head
[05:37.13] They keep falling on my
[05:50.98] In a trap
[05:52.43] Feel a strap
[05:53.86] Holding still
[05:54.93] Pinned for kill
[05:56.39] Chances narrow
[05:57.67] That I'll make it
[05:59.14] In the cushioned
[06:00.20] Straitjacket
[06:01.47] Just like 22nd St
[06:03.99] And they got me
[06:04.98] By my neck and feet
[06:06.70] Pressure's building
[06:08.22] Can't take more
[06:09.59] My headache's charged
[06:10.90] Earaches roar
[06:12.98] In this pain
[06:15.70] Get me out of this pain
[06:22.46] If I could change to liquid
[06:24.82] I could fill the cracks
[06:26.43] Up in the rock
[06:27.81] But I know that I am solid
[06:29.94] And I am my
[06:31.44] Own bad luck
[06:33.21] Outside John disappears
[06:35.41] And my cage dissolves
[06:38.29] And without any reason
[06:40.37] My body revolves
[06:46.88] Keep on turning
[06:49.28] Keep on turning
[06:52.05] Keep on turning
[06:54.53] Keep on turning
[06:57.14] Keep on turning
[06:59.27] Turning around
[07:03.76] Just spinning around
[07:10.69] Down, down, down...
