Song lyrics
Well I don't feel better when I'm fucking around 
And I don't write better when I'm stuck in the ground 
So don't teach me a lesson 'cause I've already learned 
Yeah, the sun will be shining and my children will burn 
Oh the heart beats in its cage 

I don't want what you want 
I don't feel what you feel 
See, I'm stuck in a city 
When I belong in a field 
Yeah we got left, left, left, left, left, left, left 
Now its three in the morning and your eating alone 
Oh the heart beats in its cage 

All our friends they're laughing at us 
All of those you loved you mistrust 
Help me, I'm just not quite myself 
Look around there's no one else left 
I went to the concert and I fought through the crowd 
Guess I got too excited when I thought you were around 
Oh he gets left, left, left, left, left, left, left 
I am sorry you were thinking I would steal your fire. 
Oh the heart beats in its cage 
Yes the heart beats in its cage 

Oh the heart beats in its cage

These lyrics are so wrong! The CD comes with a booklet with lyrics, why is it so hard to type them up?

Great song though, best on the album.

I dunno, but it feels like a better, remasterised copy of a 60s,70s, or even 50s song, dont u think? I've got that very weird feeling at the back of my mind I've already heard it somewhere (the guitar riff and the beat anyway). But does that really matter, I mean all artists draw inspiration from somewhere before starting off a new piece, or song for that matter. I love this song and doesnt matter who sang it first. Now The Strokes have got a new fan, in me lol. I give it the thumbs up and the 5 stars treatment.

ive always loved the strokes, they just keep getting better in my eyes...
i liked 'juicebox' but i love 'heart in a cage', far more than i loved 'reptilia' (the song i first heard from the strokes) wen it first came out.
i think this song is their purest most defined sounding to date, i always felt that there was a muffled quality to their music- in a great way of course, goes great with julian's voice but i luv how he more or less melodically sings in this song. luv the baritone =]
brilliant lyrics, funky film clip... must buy 'first impressions of earth'... definately one of my favourite songs this year!
