This really is Lexi's latest jam. She picked it herself. And it's the funniest thing ever watching her when this song comes on. It is the opening/ theme song to the Netflix original series, Orange is the New Black (OITNB).
For those who aren't in the know, it's a dark comedy about life inside a women's prison. And it's in it's third season on Netflix. John and I started watching it last year, and we were hooked. When the new season went live in June, we were there again, and have watched all summer.
Whenever the opening song comes on, Lexi drops whatever she is doing and runs to the tv to watch. She is glued to it until the song ends and then she returns to whatever she was previously doing. I think it must be all the faces that she is looking at. Silly, silly girl. Here's the video. What do you think? Why else would a 15 month old be so enamored with this?
In any case, I really do also like this song. It was written specifically for the series by Regina Spektor and was even nominated for a Grammy. As always, here are the lyrics for you.
The animals, the animals
Trapped, trapped, trapped 'till the cage is full
The cage is full
Stay awake
In the dark, count mistakes
The light was off but now it's on
Searching the ground for a bitter song
The sun is out, the day is new
And everyone is waiting, waiting on you
And you've got time
And you've got time
Think of all the roads
Think of all their crossings
Taking steps is easy
Standing still is hard
Remember all their faces
Remember all their voices
Everything is different
The second time around
Animals, the animals
Trapped, trapped, trapped 'till the cage is full
The cage is full
Stay awake
In the dark, count mistakes
The light was off but now it's on
Searching the ground for a bitter song
The sun is out, the day is new
And everyone is waiting, waiting on you
And you've got time
And you've got time
And you've got time
