Cage The Elephant Baby Blue (B-Side from Melophobia)

From Brad: "This was one of the first tracks we worked on for the record -- and was originally inspired by Lou Reed...you can't hear much of that now, but I still like it and I'm pleased it's getting released."

After years of listening to (almost) every song of theirs, i had absolutely NO idea this existed. This is great

[ketchupgal]

Hole in my heart, I couldn't change
I didn't know what was supposed to
Stuck in the fire, turn in the grave
Watching the shadows stretch and taking my face

I didn't know what was supposed to
I didn't know what was supposed to
Now I want to 
Yeah, I want to now

I don't care to explain
Why you running away, why you running away
To be fair, I should say
Why you running away, why you running away

Standing alone all for the road
I didn't know what was supposed to
Creature is safe here in my veins
Watching the shadows stretch and taking my face

I didn't know what was supposed to
I didn't know what was supposed to
But I don't want to
Yeah, I want to now

I don't care to explain
Why you running away, why you running away
To be fair, I should say
Why you running away, why you running away

Ghosts were killing all the way
Why you running away, why you running away
To be fair, I should say
Why you running away, why you running away

Keep on running

I've been stuck in line all those dirty rotten times
They've got time, time is gonna pass
Hope these burning ears won't last

Sometimes I'm stuck in lies, all those stinky, twisted times
But I've got time, time is gonna pass
I hope these burning ears won't last

I don't care to explain
Why you running away, why you running away
To be fair, I should say
Why you running away, why you running away

Ghosts were killing all the way
Why you running away, why you running away
I don't care to explain 
Why you running away, why you running away

Why you running away, keep on running away

Hole in my heart, I couldn't change
I didn't know what was supposed to

hidden gem, one of the best on already outstanding album. having been listening to this whole album since it came out, and have yet to get tired of it. These guys are absolute artists before anything else, and it shows in their music.

[Willdror]

I hate the fact that this song is not on spotify -_-

[ATM]

matthew really is an amazing songwriter. i love all the passion and work he puts into evertything

[gracepayneee]

[MrSamzzz]

Why would they not add this to the album it's fantastic.

[NoUniq]

Dunno why but sounds lot different from rest of the album. Really like it.

[patchesandsumster]

 holy shit I didn't even know this was on the album for months????

[imTESTlNG]

Is this song related to hypocrite? In hypocrite matt says that she calls him baby blue

[lennedyn]

I wouldn't mind if this one was on Melophobia. Actually it would be a top 5 for me

[BostonStateOfMind]

How in the fuck did Its just forever make it on the album over this

[kjcaramel]

Such a differentiation from Come a little closer. I LOVE IT

[lilvillterror]

any live versions of this need asap lol

[stevez]

I didn't know this was a Lou reed inspired song. I love Lou!

[ECHOh]

This reminds me a lot of self titled and perfect confusions. That pop punk early 2000s influence. Love when they tap into that genre a wee bit

[jeffashley]

This could replace songs on melophobia in like 2 seconds.... Is this gonna be on itunes?

[BigMan_]

I like the reference to this in hypocrite

[dan]

It sounds VERY unlike them, poppish but I love it!

[mellinaalmeida]
