Cage the Elephant is an American rock band from Bowling Green, Kentucky, that formed in 2006. The group currently consists of vocalist Matthew Shultz, rhythm guitarist Brad Shultz, drummer Jared Champion and bassist Daniel Tichenor, as well as touring keyboardist/guitarist Matthan Minster and touring lead guitarist Nick Bockrath. Lincoln Parish served as the band's lead guitarist from their formation in 2006 until December 2013, when he left on good terms to pursue a career in producing. The band's first album, Cage the Elephant, was released in 2008 to much success, spawning several successful radio singles and gained the band a large following in both the United States and the United Kingdom.
Cage the Elephant are known for energetic live performances and for possessing an eclectic sound. The band's first album is influenced by classic rock, funk, and blues music. However, the band's second album, Thank You, Happy Birthday, displayed heavy influence by punk rock and bands such as the Pixies and Nirvana, while Melophobia was a concerted effort by the band to find its own distinct musical identity, and earned them a Grammy Award nomination in 2015 for Best Alternative Music Album. Cage the Elephant's fourth album, Tell Me I'm Pretty, produced by Dan Auerbach, was released on December 18, 2015.

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
