This is the second track on Arcade Fire’s EP (2005)
The song is about the imagination of a young boy, and how he fantasises of war/conflict, particularly focusing upon a single character that the boy puts himself in the perspective of.
[Intro]
She's gone to sea
She's fighting for me
What bravery
[Verse]
I'm sleeping in a battle ship
I'm sleeping in a submarine
I'm sleeping in a fighter plane
I'm sleeping going down the drain
[Intrlude]
All hands on deck
The radio address
What a mess
[Outro]
A cage is a cage
Is a cage
Is a cage
