Cage The Elephant - Right Before My Eyes Lyrics

Cage The Elephant - Right Before My Eyes Video

Timber shakes these trails they all derail

Phony, false and frail

An empty ocean lost our way with no direction home

Golden needles names we take in vein

Find it harder to remain

And nothings sacred still waiting on that explanation

 

Right before my eyes

I saw the whole world lose control

The whole world lost control

Before my eyes uh-huh

I fell through the floor

I couldn't take it anymore

I can't take this anymore

It breaks my mind uh-huh

 

Hold your dirty hand over the flames

Getting pleasure from the pain

Softly screaming the pistol that you raise has spoken

Golden needles names we take in vein

Find it harder to remain

Well nothings sacred still waiting on that explanation

 

Right before my eyes

I saw the whole world lose control

The whole world lost control

Before my eyes uh-huh

I fell through the floor

I couldn't take it anymore

I can't take this anymore

It breaks my mind uh-huh

 

Everything I thought I knew fell to the side

Time went on and on I couldn't see past my on eyes

Past my eyes

Past my eyes

Past my eyes

 

Right before my eyes

I saw the whole world lose control

The whole world lost control

Before my eyes uh-huh

I fell through the floor

I couldn't take it anymore

I can't take this anymore

It breaks my mind uh-huh

Cage The Elephant - Shake Me Down Lyrics

Cage The Elephant - Shake Me Down Video

Shake me down

Not a lot of people left around

Who knows now

Softly laying on the ground, ooh

Not a lot of people left around, ooh, ooh

 

In my life, I have seen, people walk into the sea

Just to find memories, plagued by constant misery

Their eyes cast down, fixed upon the ground

Their eyes cast down

 

I'll keep my eyes fixed on the sun

 

Shake me down

Cut my hair on a silver cloud

Broken sound

Softly laying on the ground, ooh

Not a lot of people left around, ooh, ooh

 

In my past, bittersweet

There's no love between the sheets

Taste the blood, broken dreams

Lonely times indeed

 

With eyes cast down, fixed upon the ground

'Th eyes cast down

 

I'll keep my eyes fixed on the sun

Turn back now it's time for me to let go

Way down had to find a place to lay low

Lampshade turned around into a light post

 

Walk around the corner, never saw it coming

Still I try to make a move, it almost stopped me from belief

I don't wanna know the future, I'm like rolling thunder

 

Even on a cloudy day

Even on a cloudy day

Even on a cloudy day

Even on a cloudy day

 

Even on a cloudy day

Even on a cloudy day

Even on a cloudy day

I'll keep my eyes fixed on the...

I'll keep my eyes fixed on the...

I'll keep my eyes fixed on the sun

 

Shake me down

Not a lot of people left around, ooh, ooh

Cage The Elephant - Back Stabbin' Betty Lyrics

Cage The Elephant - Back Stabbin' Betty Video

Poor guy that man John Thomas

His woman truly was a devil

And she wasn't all that honest

She tore him down on every level

 

You're a no good lazy motherfucker

Got a, a shit job you worthless motherfucker

You're a, a dead beat feel sorry for your mother

If I had time I'd trade you for another

 

He don't like that

He wants his life back

He wants to go back home

 

He tried so hard to please her

He sold his soul to keep her happy

But nothin' he did impressed her

She always left him feelin' shitty

 

This is it? No, this can't be all you bought me

Said I'm, I'm high class and this is where you brought me

Gonna strike low just like my momma taught me

You're a, a low life you're lucky that you got me

 

He don't like that

He wants his life back

He wants to go back home

 

Down deep way down inside him

The will to leave was growing stronger

And he bit his tongue for so long

He couldn't hold back any longer

 

You're a two faced ruthless instigator

You're a, a low down triflin' masquerader

You're a, a cold bitch controllin' conservator

This is too much I'm out I'll see you later

 

She don't like that

But he got his life back

No she don't like that

But he's right back on track

I said he went back home

Cage The Elephant - In One Ear Lyrics

Cage The Elephant - In One Ear Video

They say that we ain't got the style, we ain't got the class

We ain't got the tunes that's gonna to put us on the map

And I'm a phony in disguise tryin' to make the radio

I'm an anti-social anarchist who sounds like so-and-so

They say I'm just a stupid kid, another a crazy radical

Rock and roll is dead; I probably should've stayed in school

Another Generation X who somehow slipped out through the cracks

Oh, they'd love to see me fall but I'm already on my back

 

So it goes in one ear and right out the other

People talkin' shit but you know I never bother

It goes in one ear and right out the other

People talkin' shit, they can kiss the back of my hand

 

Now I know I'm not a saint, I've been a sinner all my life

I ain't tryin to hide my flaws I'd rather keep them in the light

They wanna criticize, scrutinize, cast another stone

Burn me at the stake and sit and watch it from the throne

They say the devil is my pal, I do a lotta drugs

The crowd will only like me if they're really fuckin' drunk

They think they know my thoughts but they don't know the least

If they listened to the words they'd find the message that's beneath

 

But it goes in one ear and right out the other

People talkin' shit even though they never bother

It goes in one ear and right out the other

People talkin' shit, they can kiss the back of my hand

 

You hear that?

You hear what's comin'?

Oh, you better run for the hills

'Cause we're comin' to your town

And we're gonna burn that motherfucker down

Aaaah

 

Here's the moral to the story

We don't do it for the glory

We don't do it for the money

We don't do it for the fame

So all the critics who despise us

Go ahead and criticize us

It's your charity that drives us

Adding the fire to our flame

 

And it goes in one ear and right out the other

People talkin' shit, but you know I never bother

It goes in one ear and right out the other

I'm only playin' music 'Cause you know I fuckin' love it

 

It goes in one ear and right out the other

People talkin' shit, but you know I never bother

It goes in one ear and right out the other

People talkin' shit, they can kiss the back of my hand
