Wolf Gang - Lions In Cages Lyrics






In the city
Where I'm from
There are lovers till the dawn
And you stayed up to see the sun
I couldn't wait that long

Who's gonna get up after we're gone?
Who's gonna get up after we've fallen?
Who's gonna pick up what we've done wrong?
Who's gonna get up after we're gone?

In the city
Where I'm from
Lions in cages just for fun
But you will pace around your cage
And wait for night to come

In the city
Where I'm from
They shoot you down
If you run

But we don't stop to check the time
'Cause time keeps moving on and on and on

Who's gonna get up after we're gone?
Who's gonna get up after we've fallen?
Who's gonna pick up what we've done wrong?
Who's gonna get up after we're gone?

I see you in another place
I expect a familiar face
The city joins us with hands of grace
Hands free there are no constraints
Just ignore all that you see
The illusion of you and me
Illusions come illusions go
And if I leave you'll never grow old

In the city
Where I'm from
There are lovers till the dawn
And you stayed up to see the sun
I couldn't wait that long

Who's gonna get up after we're gone?
Who's gonna get up after we've fallen?
Who's gonna pick up what we've done wrong?
Who's gonna get up after we're gone?

The city joins us with hands of grace
Hands free there are no constraints

Illusions come illusions go
And if I leave you'll never grow old

  17. P.... M....

    Just me or does “Broken” by lovelytheband sound like a rip off of this?

    P.... M....

    I’ve listened to both and they’re pretty similar - but rip off wouldn’t be right - it just means I get to listen to a song I like twice but different enough i won’t get tired of it

    P.... M....

    Came here from Gamble. #LONGLIVECHAINSAW

  24. e.... ....

    This band reminds me of my ex. We both liked similar music, and we actually started liking and getting to know each other based on our shared love of music. We are both in different stages of our lives, but I will remember us until I am long gone. I wish things could have gone different. But "Midnight Dancers" is the song that perfectly captures our relationship. I'll always miss my lover and friend

  25. L.... F....

    I have been looking for this band and album again for agesss!! THANK YOU❤

  26. T.... ....

    kroger radio brought me here. this songs play about 3 or 4 times a day when im at work

    I listened that song in a shooping market and I said wow its great! I need it in my life! So ... I found it kkk

  28. M.... F....

    I heard this song at the grocery store and thought it was great haha.

  29. S.... H....

    SWITCH brought me here , this is its theme . :-) , 4 years on and i still love the program and this song

    S.... H....

    Same here! I miss it :(

    S.... H....

    Wish it didn't get cancelled

  30. d.... ....

    iam going to walk down the high street past the dock flats in camden wearing full indian head-dress in memory of switch.yeah yeah i doubt anyone will get it too.

    d.... ....

    @Jin Mr. Worldwide Handsome the viewing figures were higher than most shows on itv2 at that time.the press did slate it too much and the itv bosses wanted it to be an online hit like gossip girl was for them.my mate got a job doing the cgi effects for it via zodiac media and was promised a job on the second series till some mardy cow at itv refused to pay for the special effects budget for switch to make it look a bit better/slicker. a big waste of what could have been a stand out show if given the chance. since then phoebe fox has had the best acting career out of the 4 girls.

    d.... ....

    derbygodfather expect native Americans of course

  31. A.... A....

    Im black I listen to chief Keef and shit.. But this shit nice Asf idk what it is

  32. j.... ....

    Is this a MGMT subgroup??

    j.... ....

    No. These guys are a British band. They've split up now though.

  33. j.... e....

    i was looking up "gang cages" on google for one of my vet tech classes & the lyrics for this song popped up. great unexpected find :D

  34. S.... 2....

    My instincts brought me here

  35. B.... A....

    this is the first time that i listen your song and i loved it!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    B.... A....

    King and all of his men was mine :)

  36. N.... I....

    So sad this band broke up :(

    N.... I....

    @Chris Witt they announced it on their FB page a while ago, thanked their fans etc but wanted to move on. 

    N.... I....

    +Nook I but they had such a unique sound :\

    N.... I....

    @Chris Witt they did! They were great :( 
    btw if you like Wolf Gang, you might like Gang of Youths, SKATERS, Cloud Control, Patrick Wolf, and Local Natives...you might find a sound you like as much. 

    N.... I....

    +Nook I this is the saddest news I heard all day! I just recently discovered them and I wanted to see them live :(

    N.... I....

    Nook I thanks for those suggestions, I've been looking for new groups to hear, thanks! - from weird random guy

  37. x.... s....

    Like if your music taste brought you here! :D

  38. Y.... B....

    Hands free there's no castrates? That sounds quite bizarre...Try constrains instead?

    Y.... B....

    That's exactly what I was thinking:)

  39. R.... ....

    awesome tune

  40. M.... s....

    Ahh memories

  41. K.... S....

    GOSSIP GIRL

    K.... S....

    Kaela Skall finally I was looking for a comment that said this!!

  42. K.... O....

    I love this song

  43. D.... S....

    man i want that black indian headdress 

  44. A.... J....

    i love how the most creative comment everyone can think of is where they heard the song

    A.... J....

    Because bitching about other people's choice of comment is the height of creativity.  Bravo.

    A.... J....

    @fscked2 Because bitching about how bitching about other people's choice of comment is your or her place. Alpha.

    A.... J....

    I'm at my office thinking of catching a wave.

  45. E.... V....

    heard this song in forever 21, i shazamed, has been my fave song since <3 <3 <3

  46. D.... ....

    Well, I guess you out-hipstered everyone here. Congratulations!

  47. A.... J....

    Switch is a TV show on ITV2 about these four friends who are a coven of witches, living in the borough of Camden in North London, this song is the theme tune, just search "Switch TV show" in the search engine and you will fine it, I personally think its a great show.

  48. S.... F....

    Who/what is switch?A channel a person?

  49. B.... B....

    My own mind and love for the song brought me here.

  50. I.... c....

    I am seriously in love with this song

  51. M.... ....

    Pandora brought me here

  52. 9.... ....

    Spotify brought me here

  53. s.... ....

    "I'm not really racist, I just say racist things." That's not proving a point, bruh; that's you being an entitled white guy with so much privilege it's leaking out of your ass. A+ job.

  54. s.... ....

    Someone has an opinion you don't share and backs it up -- MUST BE A TROLL! (never mind that that's not the definition of a troll...) but lol nice try kiddo; you're pretty racist if you think that's what Native Americans do to chill out, and you're a racist douchebag because you know you're saying something shitty and are saying it anyways. You're also a moron for assuming my race based on my criticism of the appropriation of the war bonnet. Didn't want to do a personal attack, but really, dude?

  55. s.... ....

    Wrong. Intent often has little to do with it. That's a fallacy a lot of people fall into to justify behavior, 'scuse it away. A person wearing a war bonnet because they think it is cool and don't know that it's cultural appropriation is still committing cultural appropriation, and is still perpetuating racism.

    s.... ....

    sandetiger intent is ALL that counts.

  56. A.... J....

    I know right! I don't know why everyone is hating on switch, I thought it was a pretty good show!

  57. A.... J....

    I actually thought Switch was a pretty good show...

  58. s.... ....

    What do you mean, not enough? How and why?

  59. D.... G....

    Thanks for the info :) But seriously, it's really NOT enough to make it a racist cover.

  60. s.... ....

    I would invite you to search the "This Is Not Native" tumblr blog and read the resources page they have listed. It's a really basic concept :) I'd link the pertinent articles if I could, but Youtube doesn't allow that :| (c'mon, Youtube)

  61. s.... ....

    lol okay. It's not a big deal because you don't think it's a big deal. Except, to the 500+ Native nations, it actually kind of IS a big deal? And then you're being ableist and attributing my little shove on the boat as something only an insane person would say? A+ way to be a good person. A+ fallacy appeal that there are more important things in this world that need attending (because obviously you can only pay attention to a few things at once.) Lawdy, they said Youtube was dumb, but really :|

  62. U.... ....

    No, I don't care because it really isn't that big of a deal. You are the type of person that seeks out things to be offended by and all it does is annoy the rest of us sane people. If cover art from an indie band that isn't even popular really bothers you that much, then you are in serious need of better things to do with your life.

  63. s.... ....

    lol 'incredibly hard' -- and you don't try hard enough to actually give a shit. How about being a little more socially conscious? (funny, though, how you assume that I don't enjoy the music because I'm calling out the racist aspect of the artist's product. did u no - u can like problematic things and recognize that they're problematic~)

  64. U.... ....

    You try incredibly hard to be offended. How about just enjoying the music?

  65. R.... C....

    Sounds such like a fifa song

  66. s.... ....

    Native culture appropriation. The headdress is a very sacred ceremonial clothing that only a few very specific tribes of the 500+ Nations. These people have no right to take that for their own gain.

    s.... ....

    sandetiger God, it's just a bloody photo. Don't get so worked up. "Live and let live."

  67. A.... B....

    Seriously! Go check it out! :)
