Cage The Elephant - Social Cues Lyrics






I think it's strange when people say
You're the next big thing, you'll never fade
The slightest touch, forced to fold
Sleight of the hand, modern gold

Starry-eyed child left behind
Choose your favorite vice
I don't have the strength to play nice

Hide me in the back room
Tell me when it's over
Don't know if I can play this part much longer
I'll be in the back room
Tell me when it's over
Don't know if I can play this part much longer

I don't know if it is right to live this way, yeah
I'll be in the back room
Tell me when it's over
People always say, "man, at least you're on the radio"

At least you're on the radio
(At least you're on the radio)
At least you're on the radio

Close your eyes, don't be afraid
Take some of these, they'll ease the pain
Live fast, die young, pay the price
The best die young, immortalised

Starry-eyed children left behind
To choose their favorite vice
I don't have the strength to think twice

Hide me in the back room
Tell me when it's over
Don't know if I can play this part much longer
I'll be in the back room
Tell me when it's over
Don't know if I can play this part much longer

I don't know if it is right to live this way, yeah
I'll be in the back room
Tell me when it's over
People always say, "man, at least you're on the radio"

At least you're on the radio
(At least you're on the radio)

Hide me in the back room
Tell me when it's over
Don't know if I can play this part much longer
I'll be in the back room
Tell me when it's over
Don't know if I can play this part much longer

I don't know if it is right to live this way, yeah
I'll be in the back room
Tell me when it's over
People always say, "man, at least you're on the radio"

At least you're on the radio

  31. C.... O....

    Much love from London, Kentucky😎👍🕉

  32. L.... N....

    I came for a song from 2010 and I found a version of Cague the Elepthant after overcoming drug addiction

  33. j.... 6....

    Music tends to replicate it self every thirty years

  34. N.... M....

    There is a reason why cage the elephant has the most number-one singles on the alternative chart of the 2010s

  35. S.... F....

    This weird cowboy give me thrills

  36. M.... O....

    Shmood vibes

  37. I.... ....

    For a song that just came out this year, I can already imagine this fitting in perfectly in an episode of regular show with all the other classic rock songs they would play.

  38. L.... S....

    This has been in my head nonstop for weeeeks

  39. C.... R....

    I wanna find an instrumental vers. of this song,I love the beat in the back just as much as I like the voice, banger song. Cage just keeps surprising me with amazing songs

  50. S.... B....

    Very sick 80's sound with a bit (elec. keys) of some David Bowie song i can't recall. This just out as a single? CFOX just put it in their rotation (Vancouver CA) FREE ASSANGE!

  84. G.... G....

    Mgmt vibes forsure

  85. E.... Y....

    Congratulations on your 9 HITS! #billboard

  86. A.... A....

    Reminds me of pink turtles

    A.... A....

    No red maybe

  87. E.... S....

    Why aren’t you guys Uncage The Elephant ?!?!?

  88. N.... C....

    Social Cues just became Cage The Elephant's 9th #1 song on Billboard's Alternative chart! That's the most of any band this decade, and it was done without the aid of a video as the band was touring most of the summer. I love this song.

    N.... C....

    How do you know? Is that what you are saying true?

    N.... C....

    Back in the 90's this would be on the Pop Charts and only played on Pop based radio channels , In the 80's this would have been placed in the New Wave category. Still regardless this is good stuff.

  89. M.... V....

    I’ve loved this band since I heard one of their songs 3 years ago

  90. M.... N....

    they got flavorrrrr! <3

  91. W.... G....

    I ❤ U

  92. y.... ....

    I've been feeling this song so hard lately

  93. K.... S....

    I'd love to hear Heino sing this...

  94. x.... ....

    The only good thing in my 2019

  95. m.... w....

    I like all of their albums. Tell me Im Pretty is probably my favorite. Every album has a different vibe, this one is probably my least favorite. I will listen to it a few more times and see if that changes. I doubt it though. Its still not a bad album, just my least favorite.

    m.... w....

    It'll grow on you....this track is so addictive, sad lyrics but hopeful vibe....awesome bassline, and psychedelic backing track. I also love "Skin And Bones" - so emotional...Matt's vocals are especially good on that one, "House of Glass", "Tokyo Smoke" and "Dance Dance" with its great instrumental bridge is amazing.

  96. a.... ....

    if i could describe myself in a song this would b it
