Back Against The Wall by Cage The Elephant
Tonight I'll have a look
And try to find my face again
Buried beneath this house
My (1)____________ screams and dies again
Outback a (2)______________ wears
A cloak of Persian leather
Behind the TV screen
I've (3)____________ to my knees
I said you
Got me (4)__________ you want me again
And I can't turn away
I'm hangin' by a thread
And I'm feelin' (5)________ a fool
I'm stuck here in between
The (6)______________ of my yesterday
I wanna get away
I need to get away
Blanket of silence
Makes me wanna sink my teeth in deep
Burn all the evidence
A fabricated disbelief
Pull (7)________ the curtains
Took a look into (8)________ eyes
My tongue has now become
A (9)________________ for your lies
I said you
Got me (10)__________ you want me again
And I can't (11)________ away
I'm hangin' by a thread
And I'm feelin' (12)________ a fool
I'm stuck (13)________ in between
The shadows of my yesterday
I wanna get away
I need to get away
Now you know
Yeah you got my back (14)______________ the wall
Oh God
I ain't got no other place to hide
Chained down
Like a sittin' (15)________ (16)________ waitin' for the fall
You know
Yeah you got my back against the wall
Deep in the jungle
Camouflaged by all the fallen leaves
A hand holds up the sky
While shamefully I make my plea
The alter's callin'
But my legs won't seem to stand
Guess I'm a coward scared
To face the man I am
I said you
Got me where you want me again
And I can't (17)________ away
I'm hangin' by a thread
And I'm feelin' like a fool
I'm stuck (18)________ in between

I (20)________ to get away
Now you know
Yeah you got my back against the wall
Oh God
I ain't got no (21)__________ (22)__________ to hide
Chained down
Like a sittin' duck just waitin' for the fall
You know
Yeah you got my back (23)______________ the wall
Now you know
