Lyrics Cage the Elephant

Cage the Elephant

Always Something

Early in the morning

Rise to meet the sun

Work so hard to feed your wife

No time to show her love

And in the madness of the evening

With diamonds in your hand

Came home an hour early

Caught her with another man

It's always something

Before the late night

Around the corner

There's always something waiting for you

Can't hold the hands back

Can't make the sun rise

It's always something

You know it's always something

On your way back home again

A good Samaritan

You see a man stuck in the rain

Stranded with no friends

And from the goodness of your heart

You save him from the flood

A couple miles down the road

He's covered in your blood

It's always something

Before the late night

Around the corner

There's always something waiting for you

Can't hold the hands back

Can't make the sun rise

It's always something

You know it's always something

Moving around, you never see it coming

Burned by the life you thought that you were running

Blinded again, you're floating like a feather

Why can't you see you can't control the weather?

Sometimes I caught myself looking in the mirror

With my eyeballs out and I'm looking at the fear

In the bottom of the drain, saw it growing like a plant

But it never works out like the way I wrote it in my hands

You shot him, you shot him

You shot him, you shot him

You shot him, you shot him

You shot him, you shot him

You shot him, you shot him

You shot him, you shot him

You shot him, you shot him

You shot him, you shot him

It's always something

Before the late night

Around the corner

There's always something waiting for you

Can't hold the hands back

Can't make the sun rise

It's always something

You know it's always something

You know it's always something

You know it's always something
