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 spirit screams and dies again
Outback a monster wears
A cloak of Persian leather
Behind the TV screen
I've fallen to my knees
I (1)________ you
Got me where you want me again
And I can't (2)________ away
I'm hangin' by a thread
And I'm feelin' like a fool
I'm stuck (3)________ in between
The shadows of my yesterday
I wanna get away
I (4)________ to get away
Blanket of silence
Makes me wanna sink my teeth in deep
Burn all the evidence
A fabricated disbelief
Pull (5)________ the curtains
Took a look (6)________ your eyes
My tongue has now become
A platform for your lies
I said you
Got me where you want me again
And I can't turn away
I'm hangin' by a thread
And I'm feelin' like a fool
I'm stuck here in between
The shadows of my yesterday
I wanna get away
I (7)________ to get away
Now you know
Yeah you got my back against the wall
Oh God
I ain't got no other place to hide
Chained down
Like a sittin' duck just waitin' for the fall
You know
Yeah you got my (8)________ (9)______________ the wall

Deep in the jungle
Camouflaged by all the fallen leaves
A hand holds up the sky
While (10)____________________ 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 (11)________ me again
And I can't turn away
I'm hangin' by a thread
And I'm feelin' (12)________ a fool
I'm (13)__________ (14)________ in between
The shadows of my yesterday
I (15)__________ get away
I (16)________ to get away
Now you know
Yeah you got my back against the wall
Oh God
I ain't got no other place to hide
Chained down
Like a sittin' duck just waitin' for the fall
You know
Yeah you got my back against the wall

Now you know
Yeah you got my back against the wall
Oh God
I ain't got no other place to hide
Chained down
Like a sittin' (17)________ just waitin' for the fall
You know
Yeah you got my back against the wall
