Cage The Elephant - Black Madonna Lyrics

Soft glow on the city

She said, "There's no one here who can touch you right now"

Caught the last flight out at LAX

With your one-way ticket New York-bound

Climb so high, don't make a sound

Don't you forget what goes up, must come down

Climb so high, tell me how it feels



Call me when you're ready to be real

Black Madonna, hallelujah

Makes no difference here, so let's be real

Black Madonna, my black flower

Nowhere left to run, nowhere left to hide

You're not havin' fun, think that you should ride

Call me when you're ready to be real

Black Madonna, my hallelujah



On the phone you sound shifty

You say that you're at home, alone right now

But in the background there's a muffled laugh

As you spin that wool and pull it down

Climb so high, don't hear a sound

Don't you forget what goes around comes around

Climb so high, tell me how to feel



Call me when you're ready to be real

Black Madonna, hallelujah

Makes no difference here, so let's be real

Black Madonna, my black flower

Nowhere left to run, nowhere left to hide

Says this should be gone, at least it was his time

Call me when you're ready to be real

Black Madonna, my hallelujah



Call me when you're ready to be real

Black Madonna, hallelujah

Makes no difference here, so let's be real

Black Madonna, my black flower

Nowhere left to run, nowhere left to hide

You're not havin' fun, think that you should ride

Call me when you're ready to be real

Black Madonna, my hallelujah
