My Body Is a Cage, Arcade Fire (Jeremy Gara / Richard Parry / Régine Chassagne / Tim Kingsbury / William Butler / Win Butler ) (Other singers' versions differ slightly.)

Chorus: My body is a cage

That keeps me from dancing with the one I love

But my mind holds the key [x2]

I’m standing on the stage

Of fear and self-doubt

It’s a hollow play

But they’ll clap anyway

Chorus

You’re standing next to me

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

Chorus

You’re standing next to me

My mind holds the key

My body is a...

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

They laugh and I’m dancing

With the one I love

But my mind holds the key

You’re still next to me

My mind holds the key

Set my spirit free [x2]

Set my body free [x2] ...
