Peter Gabriel - My Body Is a Cage (Oxford London Temple Version) lyrics

[Peter Gabriel - My Body Is a Cage Oxford London Temple Version lyrics]

My body is a cage
That keeps me from dancing with
The one I love but my mind holds the key
My body is a cage
That keeps me from dancing with
The one I love but my mind holds the key

I'm standing on a stage
Of fear and self doubt it's a hollow play
But they'll clap anyway

My body is a cage
That keeps me from dancing with
The one I love my mind holds the key
My mind holds the key

My mind holds the key i'm living in an age
That calls darkness light
Though my language is dead
Still the shapes fill my head
I'm living in an age whose name I don't know
Though the fear keeps me moving
Still my heart beats so slow

My body is a is a
Is a is a
Is a is a
Is a is a
Is a my body is a cage
My body is a cage oh
My mind holds the key

My body is a cage we take what we're given
Just because you've forgotten
That don't mean you're forgiven
I'm living in an age
That screams my name at night
But when I get to the doorway
There's no one in sight i'm living in an age
Where I realize I'm dancing with
The one I love but my mind holds the key

You're standing next to me
My mind holds the key set my spirit free
Set my spirit free set my body free
Set my body free set my body free
