Low - Things We Lost In The Fire (2001) by Low (보컬) on maniadb.com

When they found your body
Giant X's on your eyes
With your half of the ransom
You bought some sweet, sweet, sweet
Sweet sunflowers
And gave them
To the night

Underneath the Star of David
A hundred years behind my eyes
And with my half of the ransom
I bought some sweet, sweet, sweet
Sweet sunflowers
And gave them
To the night

Sweet, sweet, sweet, sweet sunflowers
Sweet, sweet, sweet, sweet sunflowers
Sweet, sweet, sweet, sweet sunflowers
Sweet, sweet, sweet, sweet sunflowers
And gave them
To the night

Stay up all night
Waste time, waste light
Closer, closer
Ever closer

You win, you fail
Exit whitetail
Closer, closer
Maybe closer

You were their daughter
And your father
Flew airplanes

You and your sister
Could tell by the back of their hands

It was a dinosaur act
Dinosaur act
Dinosaur act
Dinosaur act

And after expenses
And pulling up fences
No more airplanes

And putting your foot down
A nail shot up like a bright red snowflake

Just like a dinosaur act
Dinosaur act
Dinosaur act
Dinosaur act
Dinosaur

Ooo...

And all through the dust
You feel that you must hear the strings of a dove
But it's a dinosaur act

Dinosaur act
Dinosaur act
Dinosaur act
Dinosaur

They'll never cure this thing
With medicine and magazines

I know you play your part
You cover up your ever-breaking heart

No one knows where you are
And no one thought you'd ever get that far

And how can it be that fun
When everyone around you dies so young?

And I'm not your favorite one
But who will walk you out when it's all done?

I don't need a laser beam
I don't need the time
Leave me in the car tonight
Rest your drunken mind

I need your grace alone

Lesser things are on your mind
Don't you think i know?
Will this poison scar my eyes?
Mother, close the door

I need your grace alone

I don't need a laser beam
I don't need a laser beam

Wait it's late we've missed the date
Gone I guess with the rest

They'll never wake us in time
They'll never wake us in time
Maybe we'll wait 'til July

Now at last I hear them pass
Gone I guess with the rest

They'll never wake us in time
They'll never wake us in time
Maybe we'll wait 'til July
Then August
September
October
November
Or December

Holding my head
For the last of race
Pushing my body
To get that embrace

It won't last
Hold on fast
It won't last
Hold on fast

Breathing in time
So hard to trace
Crushing your skull
With my warming embrace

It won't last
Hold on fast
It won't last
Hold on fast

I fell down the stairs
I wished I were dead
You ran toward the light
He handed me your head
It won't last

It won't last
Hold on fast
It won't last
Hold on fast

You will get your...
Reward.

What is that, whore,
You're living for?

Is it so wrong
To think there's more?

There's always one
Worth waiting for...

What is that hole
You're living for?

You fill the house with bells...
But who can live like that?

You wanna speak like angels,
But you can't.

What is that, whore,
You're living for?

You will get your...
Reward.

Half your life you kept it in
Born without a stomach
Now the thread around you spins
No, you're not that kind of girl
No, you could've had the world

Every time they lift you up
Every time more thread to cut
Seems like you've been cut enough
No, you're not that kind of girl
No, you could've had the world

Now lesser things
Pull the strings
Of priests and kings
No, you're not that kind of girl
No, you could've had the world

Black, like a forest
And still, like a lion
My knees are bended
We used to speak
A different language

I wasted my breath
On words soon forgotten
Left unattended
They're moving their feet
But nobody's dancing

Ah, take your time
Ah, take your time

How can I blame you
For all of the screaming
That I've had to turn to?
Just in time
To go off in my hands

Hold me closer than that
Hold me closer than that
how'd we get here so fast?
Hold me closer than that

On a dark, raging sea
Ships lay sleeping beneath
Overhead, spinning past
Hold me closer than that

Things we lost in the fire
How'd we ever get by?
Words will never take back
Hold me closer than that

Hold me closer than that
Hold me closer than that
How'd we get here so fast?
Hold me closer than that

La la la la
La la la la la la

La la la la
La la la la la la

La la la la
La la la la la la

Filling holes with tiny sounds
Shiny from the inside out
Picture of you where it began
In metal
In metal

Partly hate to see you grow
And just like your baby shoes
Wish i could keep your little body
In metal
In metal

In metal
In metal
In metal
In metal
