T-t-t-t-t-t-touch
If one of these two walls could speak
I'd turn the, lights down long enough to hit repeat (babe)

Right now my vision is gone, and magic's to blame
It's silent down here, hey I want to get loud again
You'll hold the thunder while I bring the rain

I might be busy doing nothing but I've had my share
You've got a strange infatuation with a love that's in the air

Contact high
I'm done dreamin' that we can fly
Am I guilty? Boy you decide
I've got nothing to hide

Four letter words won't hold any sway (uh uh)
Here in a paradise that shakes the word romantic to the bone
Mystical forces are circling me, while perfect nostalgia is dating the enemy
Lost in the ether with no one to blame
It's silent down here, maybe I want to get loud again

Contact high
I'm done dreamin' that we can fly
Am I guilty? Boy you decide
I've got nothing to hide

(When we touch I get a)
Contact high
I'm done leaving if we can try
Am I guilty? Boy you decide
I've got nothing to hide

You've got a strange infatuation with a love that's in the air

So i shook hands with you freely
made a promise not to clean the slate
and i didn't need you 'til melody
drew a line between love and hate
and i know i can be self righteous
and we both like to stretch the truth
but there's never been a song or a melody
that reminds me less of youth

hey there hey there
debbie down debbie down

And i felt my head exploding
so i left it beside the road
in the tall grass where
all the deer despair
at the thought of being stuffed in my home
and first we were antisocial
til we tried hibernating through
all the seasons where you dye your hair
in a failed attempt on blue

Said the fibber to the snake
there's an opportunist dude
watch his mouth its open wide
and he trying not to eat you

hey there hey there
debbie down debbie down

She said you'd given up,
Your folks told me you should be left alone,
on a mountain top
knocking the aeroplanes down with stones.

Do the whirlwind
and carry the hope that stings all night long,
Don't abandon him
'cause he quivers when he hears your song.


Believe me, it's safe to see,
At least be confused about right and wrong,
Plan to settle down,
Over the moon under the sun.

Do the whirlwind,
and shotgun the seat that beats (beats)
Hanging on to the one you love
To keep, keepin', sleepin', dreamin' on.


Folks given up under the quivers and lines,
You do the whirlwind,
Don't abandon,
Get a handle of yourself, son

(Ohhh... ohh ohh ohh ohh...)
(Do the whirlwind, do the whirlwind...)

This escapee was never gonna stay
On an unfamiliar building on the rooftop where we lay
Where all the constellations shine to pave the way
Temptation's not a word until we've let it go astray
And I won't delete it
He won't delete it

Light bolts hover over you all day
Oh darkness can be difficult like needles in the hay
I need to flick the switch and show you how to hide
And love is not the answer if you're taking me for a ride

This escapee was never gonna stay
On an island way too difficult to be stuck in a daze
And all the competition's overcome what may
Temptation's not a word until we've let it go astray
And I won't delete it
He won't delete it

I'm escaping
You're escaping

I'm escaping
You're escaping

I've never seen you frown this much
It's time that we left this haunted town
The spookiness of night surrounds us in trees
Us on bikes on fountains

Never been alone as such
Your foot's on the clutch, your hand's on my crutch
Slow down and run in little circles
'Til circles are black and on the ground

And clever isn't where it's at
'Cause dumb is back
Heads are holes and clouds

And I've never seen you frown this much
It's time that we got this flaunting down
A feather in a baseball cap
You dance all whack, weakened knees call

And I've never seen you frown this much
It's time that we rocked three daunting nouns
It's better not to holla back
'Cause life long cracks speak through these walls

Frenchy, I'm faking,
Been longing to stir you up,
Changing looks slightly like back in the '90s,
Far and away whistle delayed delights.

The prospect of lightning was ever so frightening,
I said your kisses are nice,
But I'm looking for hills to roll,
Down with abandon and no understanding.

I borrowed your suitcase and filled it with pearls and gold,
You let me down lightly,
I killed you politely

And we're slow to acknowledge the knots in the laces
Heart it races
And we go back to where we moved out to the places
Heart it races
I bought it in a can and stirred it with my fingers singing
Boom dah dah dah dah dah
Boom dah dah dah dah
Threw it out the window
And lately you been tanned, suspicious for the winter with your
Boom dah dah dah dah dah
Boom dah dah dah dah
Legs like little splinters

And we're slow to acknowledge the knots in the laces
Heart it races
And we go back to where we moved out to the places
Heart it races
I sold it to a man and threw him out the window
He went
Boom dah dah dah dah dah
Boom dah dah dah dah
Made his wife a widow

Boom dah dah dah dah dah
Boom dah dah dah dah

Hey you know my friend Lisa
she's down from LA
we've been places like this
there always the same
we'll loosen the rope just enough to make you pay
say my memory is hazy
we're moving away
to rent a display home
avoid all the grey
2 bees in a swarm
the honey's stuck us by the hair
hold music
give it to me baby don't you dare lose it

when we're sleeping in daily
there's ice on the road
i bought us a dragon
to lighten the load
he's keeping us warm
the blood keep flowing to your head
Hey i've never been stately
I'm legless at sea
my spirit has felt you since 1903
I'm trying to be normal
but there's evil in my head
hold music
give it to me bay dont you dare lose it

You're so dangerous
everybody's gonna hide out back
it doesnt matter that you're serious
move along sad face your cover's blown
cmon there you are
and we're outta space and you're out of space
i said change the beat fast
or your enemies will see you naked

hold music hold music hold

When we were out drinking
i found you a home
4 million in prizes
you left me alone
when we were forlorn
i found some poison in your bed
Though you may mistake me
I'll never be free
I'm stuck in the crossfire
between you and he
tattoos on his arms
he got a needle for a head

hold music
give it to me bay dont you dare lose it

Stranger danger, danger stranger
When you gonna follow through?

The mistake you don't make or the rain cloud covers above your house
Steal the feeling and focus on the flames, girl

Have I failed to impress you?
Could've sworn that wine and one and four made two,
But it's 5!
It's 5!

Can I ride with you until the sunset gets all red?
And we'll get chased by the moon

Hope the passion don't fade since you decided he's your spouse
Wheeling, dealing, joking things will change, girl

Have I failed to impress you?
Could've sworn that wine and one and four made two,
But it's 5!
It is 5!

And he's mean talking
Bean stalking icy man
My feet are walking over him
My sneakers in his hand

And with a picket for a knife
And a rocket to depart in
My life had barely started
When you jumped all on my heart

And now we're lazy, lazy
Ooh, lazy, lazy

In the galaxy of stars
With nothing in the middle
'Cept the planet that we own
And it's playing second fiddle

And we're bogged down in a delta of glee
And my mouth has sprung wide open
We got tickets they were free

And can you keep sleeping metaphysical girl?
Since the stars predicted something new
Would reconnect our worlds

And now we're lazy, we're lazy
Ooh, lazy, lazy

Can we grow, can we grow
Can we grow out? Whoa
Can we grow, can we grow
Can we grow out? Whoa

Can we grow, can we grow
Can we grow out? Whoa
Whoa, whoa, whoa
Whoa, whoa, whoa

And he's mean talking
Bean stalking icy man
My feet are walking over him
Sneakers in his hand

And with a picket for a knife
And a rocket to depart in
My life had barely started
When you jumped all on my h-h-h-heart

I'll tell you anything but not the truth
My Mum thinks she's in love with you and I'm not
And just to be sure do you wanna ride
Let me tell you something about christmas time when it's hot

when were cornered
in a bid to scare
I kept you from my reaches
didnt mean to care
what we got
do you like it or not?

I'm changing all your pills to vitamins
You got me eating form your hands
girl we're locked
Round about 10 with a love tattoo
you left me in yr cell
the things you do
when you're rot

wa wa wa

when were cornered
in a bid to scare
I kept you from my reaches
didnt mean to care
what we got
do you like it or not?

I'll tell you anything but not the truth
My Mum thinks she's in love with you and I'm not
And just to be sure do you wanna ride
Let me tell you something about new york when it's hot

Enormously Low
No It's true
There's never been a knife that cuts me half as deep as you
and wide for you
despite the dreams that others grow

Maybe you can owe me?
Or should we wait and see?
'Cause I've been saving up for something we need,
As long as you're open to the possibility, yeah.

Surely, there's a story in counting all the minutes 'til July the 1st,
But you counted all the seconds and it made you feel worse,
I don't wanna be here,
You just wanna be there,
But it's awful complicated and you're warning me to beware.

And honey, there's no hurry,
I know it's overdue there's a key to the door,
To the room where I'm staying,
You can sleep on the floor,
Half way through the night can we talk and see?
'Cause there's no way that I'll sleep when you're near me

There's a sword in your side,
That you'll ignore until blood shows,
And later on, when it's gone,
When something's wrong,
The violence grows and it's designed,
To spy and try to poke your eyes,
While laying low.

Beneath the seven different reasons for satellites,
Eleven different reasons for fists in fights,
There's never been a reason for
shouting when it's quiet,
But no-one's ever listening.

When you need to shout
No-one's ever listening
When you need to shout
No-one's ever listening

And don't go dragging your name,
Through the mud and the rain,
When it dries I know some dust that
wants to get in your eyes.

Put a stethoscope on,
You'll notice the beat is gone,
All that's left is hesitations
from your previous life.

Just yesterday, I was walking on the moon with your stalker
And we talked about love and all the battles we'd won
A permanent malaise prevented us from hiding our fortunes
So we left them bare for all the natives to see

One of two things we should have but never did
One of two things we should have but never did

Slender is the finger
Points towards the flaw
Offers you an excuse
To be on all fours

One of two things we should have but never did
One of two things we should have but never did

A wicked decision
We can agree
A wicked decision
Nothing's wrong with you and me

A week in the forest
A week in the fog
You'll be sad to hear that
I I I I I was robbed

And we're gonna own it
A fist to the voice
And we've found the music
Why did you try at the choice?

And decapitation
for failing to see
Nothing in this whole wide world saves us from this situation
[Nothing can save us]

Don't stop talkin' to me please
baby cut me all to pieces
If you really want hell, hell
Ripped apart by the crows not the vultures
No one in this fair new world can talk us through this situation

Speak in the garden
You burn down the trees
I'll leave out the teasin'
while you are down on one knee

Never is heavy
and heavy is fine
but only in the street man
you ate your words wrong this time

It's wicked where you tread
Shot an arrow in your head
Since the apple wasn't there, yeah.
Ripped apart by the crows and the vultures
Ignore me in the parking lot
I'm petrified by conversation.

It's wicked where you tread
They shot an arrow at your head
Since the apple wasn't there, yeah.
We're ripped apart by the crow and the vultures
Ignore me in the parking lot
I'm petrified by conversation.

Well, my bride and groom
Spent the lonely season figuring life out
So imagine the change
When smoke, it filled the air, yeah

So when the north reflected southern lights
In the eyes of the deep where red turned white
You got the wrong attitude to be lewd
To stop and stare, stare, stare, stare
Stare, stare, stare, stare, stare

So watch, watch

You got me crawling through hoops
On your roof to a death song
And darling, you forgot to tell me
I was gonna grow my hair wrong

And when the north reflected southern lights
In the eyes of the deep where red turned white
You got the wrong idea
If you're leaping off the edge of this world

Leaping off the edge of this world
Leaping off the edge of this world
Leaping off the edge of this world

When you're leaping off the edge of this world
Leaping off the edge of this world
When you're leaping off the edge of this world
Leaping off the edge of this world
When you're leaping off the edge of this world
Leaping off the edge of this world

You can catch me on the street
We're shaking out my legs to greet
Our new neighbors with the same old innocence

Walking, rolling, I'm your stone
Cease the aching in your bones
Keep it raining on the same old innocence

And when we woke up from the heat
You broke your fingers on the beat
All ashamed about the same old innocence

Oh way oh, way oh, oh way oh, way oh
Oh way oh, way oh, she will knock you up
Oh way oh, way oh, oh way oh, way oh
Oh way oh, way oh , she will knock you down

And you can see me be discreet
Keep that visions of defeat
All ashamed about the same old innocence

With a footstep that's a soul
Keep the aching in your bones
Keep it raining on the same old innocence

Even where crows fly
We are squawking like it's love, oh
We are squawking, long lost talking
We been where the arrows play

Oh way oh, way oh, oh way oh, way oh
Oh way oh, way oh, she will knock you up
Oh way oh, way oh, oh way oh, way oh
Oh way oh, way oh , she will knock you down

And you can see me be discreet
Keeping visions of defeat
All ashamed about the same old innocence
Same old innocence, same old innocence
Same old innocence, innocence is the same

And you can catch me on the street
We're shaking out my legs to greet
Our new neighbors with the same old innocence

The same old innocence, the same old innocence
The same old innocence, the same old innocence
The same old innocence, the same old innocence
The same old innocence, innocence is the same

You don't wanna be
I don't wanna see
Baby get your feet on the floor
Shut the door, count to four
There's ice
(On your shoulders)
I don't wanna fall face down in the flood
Of the tears from the years that we loved and we messed up
(Don't mess this up)
Let's get older

Remember the foggy window?
Remember lightning and wet clothes?
Remember the house we used to live in:
The cemetery? The cemetery?

There's a shadow on the wall and it's nine feet tall
And our hearts won't sink cause it's obviously nothing at all
And in a roundabout way we can disappear towards the coast
The most I have to say isn't really that revealing at all

Everyone you forgot
Everything you could need
Everybody's gonna make it to the cemetery
There's a Fab, there's a Yick
There's a Jenny, there's a Karen
There's a Paul, there's a Jack
There's a Denny

Everyone you forgot
Everything that you need
Everybody gonna make it to the cemetery
There's a Ross, there's a Neil
There's a Lenny, there's an Aaron
There's a Saul, there's a Chip
There's a Benny

Oh woah woah woah, way oh, way oh
Oh woah woah woah, way oh, way oh
Oh woah woah woah, way oh, way oh
Do you remember?

Oh woah woah woah, way oh, way oh
Oh woah woah woah, way oh, way oh
Oh woah woah woah, way oh, way oh
Do you remember?

Remember the foggy window?
Remember lightning and wet clothes?

And in a roundabout way we can disappear towards the coast
The most I have to say isn't really that revealing at all

Tonight the neon answers flare,
Occasionally we stop and stare past tiny paintings,
Painted where all the clouds were wrong,
With killer stares and sideways frowns,
In keeping with, the universe all upside down. Twice, twice, twice.
And broken legs and arms in slings,
You cry secretly. You won't wear my diamond rings. Why? Why? Why?

A billion cares, a thousand stings we lie frequently,
Choose the chapter where they start fights, fights, fights.
And millionaires have bought this town and changed everything.
I found you in the lost and found,
White, white, white!

Underwater, underwater, underwater
Underwater, underwater, underwater, oh
Underwater, underwater, underwater
Underwater, underwater, underwater, oh

Look both ways when you leave the building
The wrath of millions of thieves lies disguised
While the children of makeshift hills
Let the code of silence repeat sixteen times

When we get delayed
Can we cast a line towards anyone dismayed?
Can we go it alone say, say, say?

Caught me listening to water dripping
From those old lips to a town where its dry
When you leave don't say
That anyone here will be thinking in modern ways
Can we go it alone say, say, say?

Look both ways when you leave the building
The wrath of millions of thieves lies disguised

Underwater, underwater, underwater
Underwater, underwater, underwater, oh
Underwater, underwater, underwater
Underwater, underwater, underwater, oh

Here underwater we're down
Here underwater way down
Here underwater we're down, down

Here underwater we're down
Here underwater way down
Here underwater we're down, down

Here underwater we're down
Here underwater way down
Here underwater we're down, down

Here underwater we're down
Here underwater way down
Here underwater we're down, down

Here underwater we're down
Here underwater way down
Here underwater we're down, down

Here underwater we're down
Here underwater way down
Here underwater we're down, down

Carve your name into my arms,
'Cause I long to feel your name blood red.

Leave our love life at the door,
What's in store?
We don't know just yet,
And that is why when we get together,
There's no need to be clever.

Lightning struck at eleven same as last night,
We talk deeper than weather,
Baseball cap with a feather,
Fire engine's here to quell the blaze in our life.

Sidestep neighbours full of lust,
Good times rust,
And the runaway's best.

And when the love detector finds a spark,
It's before dark when we couldn't care a less,
And that is why when we get together,
There's no need to be clever.

Lightning struck at eleven same as last night,
We talk deeper than weather,
Baseball cap with a feather,
Fire engine's here to quell the blaze in our life

Choke, choking on a wishbone in the firing line of lovers who will never slow down
And I won't let you steer, commandeer the atmosphere, since you suggested running away (Romantic)

Hit the redial, maybe we should sigh a while, save our second wind for sentimental warm weather
Four forever, two together, we'll play dead, we'll play dead! We'll play deadly

Should we make believe you remember me from a holiday delayed by a storm?
Should we chance our arms' alarms set to high noon until the shiver in the river is gone?

Hope, hoping you might whistle, get all dizzy, 'cuz I found the reason why you're around
If I locate the fear, talk you through the tangles, can you chase me till you my feet touch the ground? (And go dancing)

Tambourine style, walking in a single file
You whisper half thoughts to me

Should we make believe you remember me from a holiday delayed by a storm?
Should we chance our arms' alarms set to high noon until the shiver in the river is gone?
