choke, tried to wash you down with something strong
dry but the taste of blood remains
cold, empty mattresses and falling stars
my how they start to look the same
so keep in happiness and torture me while i tell you let's go in style
a million hooks around a million ways to die
darling it's cold outside
no, no more eyes to see the sun
you slide into bed while i get drunk
slow conversations with a gun mean more
than i've ever said to anyone
so keep in happiness and torture me while i tell you let's go in style
a million hooks around a million ways to die
darling let's go inside
it'll be alright
but last night, you said you ended up in palmspring's dancing on tables
almost fought some bitch at the club
got kicked out of your hotel and lost your shoes
well fuck, what am i supposed to be impressed
you're just another set of bones to lay to rest
it's time to say goodnight, hope you had a really good time
and i will soon forget the colour of your eyes
and you'll forget mine
so keep in happiness and torture me while i tell you let's go in style
a million hooks around a million ways to die
darling let's go outside
it'll be alright
but last night, you said you ended up in palmspring's dancing on tables

i'm warmer on the holidays
parents sip their chardonnay
don't you want to be like you used to
harvard colours poison spill
leave like david copperfield
pepper on the trampoline
wrapping paper money
don't you want to feel like you used to
smaller next to monuments
pilot never wants to land
i like it how your nose is shaped
the movies don't make me afraid
why won't they leave you at home by yourself
sugar on my orange clothes
sugar covered autumn clothes
cartons of drano
tulip in your raincoat
don't you want me to move around like i used to
i separate myself
it doesnt sound nice
it doesnt sound nice

Did I drive you away
I know what you'll say
You say "Oh, sing one we know"
But I promise you this
I'll always look out for you
Yeah that's what I'll do
I say oh, I say oh
My heart is yours
It's you that I hold on to
Yeah that's what I'll do
And I know I was wrong
But I won't let you down
Oh yes I will, Oh yes I will
I say oh, I cry oh
And I saw sparks
Yeah I saw sparks
And I saw sparks
Yeah I saw sparks
Sing it out
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

Na Na Na Na, Oh (x3)
When the leader of the bad guys sang
Something soft and soaked in pain
I heart the echo from his secret hideaway
He must've forgot to close his door
As he cranked out those dismal chords
And his four walls declared him insane
I found my way
Right time wrong place
As I pled my case
You're the Judge, Oh no
Set me free
You're the Judge, Oh no
Set me free
I know my soul's freezing
Hell's hot for good reason
So please, take me
Na Na Na Na, Oh (x3)
Three lights are lit but the fourth one's out
I can tell cause it's a bit darker than the last night's bout
I forgot about the drought of lightbulbs in this house so I head out
Down the route I think it's heading south
But I'm not good with direction, and I hide behind my mouth
I'm a pro at imperfection and I'm best friends with my doubt
And now that my mind's out and now I hear it clear and loud
I'm thinking wow, I probably should've stayed inside my house
I found my way
Right time wrong place
As I pled my case
You're the Judge, Oh no
Set me free
You're the Judge, Oh no
Set me free
I know my soul's freezing
Hell's hot for good reason
So please
I don't know if this song
Is a surrender or a revel
I don't know if this one
Is about me or the devil
(x2)
You're the Judge, Oh no
Set me free, Oh no
You're the Judge, Oh no
Set me free, Oh no
I know my soul's freezing
Hell's hot for good reason
So please
Na Na Na Na, Oh (x3)
You're the Judge, Oh no
Set me free

Fireflies - Owl City
03:07
|
|||
You would not believe your eyes if 10 million fireflies
Lit up the world as I fell asleep
Cause they'd fill the open air and leave teardrops everywhere
You'd think me rude but I would just stand and stare
I'd like to make myself believe
That planet earth turns slowly
It's hard to say that I'd rather stay awake when I'm asleep
Cause everything is never as it seems
Cause I'd get a thousand hugs from 10 thousand lightning bugs
As they try to teach me how to dance
A foxtrot above my head, a sockhop beneath my bed
A disco ball is just hanging by a thread
I'd like to make myself believe
That planet earth turns slowly
It's hard to say that I'd rather stay awake when I'm asleep
Cause everything is never as it seems (when I fall asleep)
Leave my door open just a crack (please take me away from here)
Cause I feel like such an insomniac (please take me away from here)
Why do I tire of counting sheep (please take me away from here)
When I'm far too tired to fall asleep
To ten million fireflies I'm weird cause I hate goodbyes
I got misty eyes as they said farewell
But I'll know where several are if my dreams get real bizarre
Cause I saved a few and I keep them in a jar
I'd like to make myself believe
That planet earth turns slowly
It's hard to say that I'd rather stay awake when I'm asleep
Cause everything is never as it seems
When I fall asleep

Do i look lonely, i see the shadows on my face
People have told me I dont look the same
Maybe I lost weight, I'm playing hooky
With the best of the best, put your heart on my chest, so that you can see it too
I'm walking the long road, watching the sky fall
The lace in your dress tingles my neck, how do i live
The death of a bachelor, oh oh, letting the water fall
The death of a bachelor, oh oh, seems so fitting for
Happy ever after ooh, how could I ask for more
A lifetime of laughter at the expense of the death of a bachelor
I'm cutting my mind off, i feel like my heart is going to burst
Alone at a table for two, and I just wanna be served
And when you think of me, am I the best you ever had
Share one more drink with me, smile even though you're sad
I'm walking the long road, watching the sky fall
The lace in your dress tingles my neck, how do i live
The death of a bachelor, oh oh, letting the water fall
The death of a bachelor, oh oh, seems so fitting for
Happy ever after ooh, how could I ask for more
A lifetime of laughter at the expense of the death of a bachelor

Now the night is coming to an end, Oooo
The sun will rise and we will try again, Oooo
Stay alive, Stay alive for me
You will die, but now your life is free
Take pride in what is sure to die
I will fear the night again, Oooo
I hope I'm not my only friend, Oooo
Stay alive, stay alive for me
You will die, but now your life is free
Take pride in what is sure to die
Oooo

I'm taking over my body
back in control no more shoddy
I bet a lot of me was lost
T's uncrossed and i's undotted
I fought it a lot and it seems a lot like flesh is all i got
Not anymore, flesh out the door, swat
I must've forgot, you can't trust me
I'm open a moment and closed when you show it
and before you know it i'm lost at sea
And now that I write and think about it and the story unfolds
You should take my life, you should take my soul
Oh oh oh oh oh oh
You are surrounding all my surroundings
Sounding down the mountain range of my left side brain
You are surrounding all my surroundings
Twisting the kaleidoscope behind both of my eyes
Oh oh oh oh oh oh, And I'll be holding onto you
Remember the moment, you know exactly where you're going
And the next moment before you know it
time is slowing and it's frozen still
and the windowsill looks really nice, right?
You think twice about your life
It probably happens at night, right?
Fight it, take the pain, ignite it
Tie a noose around your mind
Loose enough to breathe fine and tie it
to a tree tell it "You belong to me
This aint a noose this is a leash
And I have news for you, you must obey me"
You are surrounding all my surroundings
Sounding down the mountain range of my left side brain
You are surrounding all my surroundings
Twisting the kaleidoscope behind both of my eyes
Entertain my faith
Lean with it, rock with in, when we gonna stop with it
Lyrics that mean nothing, we were gifted with thought
Is it time to move our feet to and introspective beat
It aint the speakers that bump hearts, its our hearts that make the beat
Oh oh oh oh oh oh, And I'll be holding on to you

Yeah yeah yeah
We don't believe what's on TV,
Because it's what we want to see,
And what we want, we know we can't believe,
We have all learned to kill our dreams.
I need to know that when I fail you'll still be here,
'Cause if you stick around I'll sing you pretty sounds,
And we'll make money selling your hair.
I don't care what's in your hair,
I just want to know what's on your mind,
I used to say, "I want to die before I'm old,"
But because of you I might think twice.
Yeah yeah yeah
Alright, second verse
What if my dream does not happen,
Would I just change what I've told my friends,
I don't want to know who I would be,
When I wake up from a dreamer's sleep.
I need to know that when I fail you'll still be here,
'Cause if you stick around I'll sing you pretty sounds,
And we'll make money selling your hair.
But I don't care what's in your hair,
I just want to know what's on your mind,
I used to say, "I want to die before I'm old,"
But because of you I might think twice.
I don't care what's in your hair,
I just want to know what's on your mind,
I used to say, "I want to die before I'm old,"
But because of you I might think twice.
Yeah yeah yeah
Ooooohhh
Yeah yeah yeah

fell asleep at the top of the tower
i was there for a half an hour
there was snow on the ground
and the trees looked white
i can never feel my hands anymore
all along the courtyard gates
writing letters on the graves
fell asleep at the top of the tower
i was there for a half an hour
there was snow in your hair
and your eyes looked wide
i can never be surprised anymore
watching people falling down
oh it's nice here underground
tell me what u think about me
i wonder what u think about me

When you were young you were the king of carrot flowers
And how you built a tower tumbling through the trees
In holy rattlesnakes that fell all around your feet
And your mom would stick a fork right into daddy's shoulder
And dad would throw the garbage all across the floor
As we would lay and learn what each other's bodies were for
And this is the room one afternoon I knew I could love you
And from above you how I sank into your soul
Into that secret place where no one dares to go
And your mom would drink until she was no longer speaking
And dad would dream of all the different ways to die
Each one a little more than he could dare to try

Met a girl some time ago, I call her midget matzah
Cutest thing that I've ever know'd
She's my little cutie
Coming to visit gonna grab that whale
They call him Shamu
I'll grab his head and you grab his tail
And we'll bring him to the ocean
Woah-oh, I hope its not very far
'cause whales are very heavy
And woah-oh, we'll let him jump over you
And pretend he's Free Willy
We'll be just like Bonnie and Clyde
For the 21st century
Drive around in cars that run on vegetable oil
And riding turtles to the ocean
Woah-oh, bring a camera so the world can see
The cracks in the concrete
And woah-oh, the cutest thing that ever be
My little cutie
Woah-oh, bring a camera so the world can see
The cracks in the concrete
And woah-oh, the cutest thing that ever be
My little cutie

I'm in love with the world through the eyes of a girl
Who's still around the morning after
We broke up a month ago and I grew up I didn't know
I'd be around the morning after
It's always been wait and see
A happy day and then you pay
And feel like shit the morning after
But now I feel changed around and instead falling down
I'm standing up the morning after
Situations get fucked up and turned around sooner or later
And I could be another fool or an exception to the rule
You tell me the morning after
Crooked spin can't come to rest
I'm damaged bad at best
She'll decide what she wants
I'll probably be the last to know
No one says until it shows, see how it is
They want you or they don't
Say yes
I'm in love with the world through the eyes of a girl
Who's still around the morning after

Davey broke the law again
Heard this time he's going to the pen
Guess I didn't need my lunch
Cause I was going to miss him a whole bunch
Maybe he was out of line
But he was still a pretty close friend of mine
Maybe he had hurt me bad
But a brother is a brother and that is that
Mom's in a mood this week
Cause she thinks that her family is going crazy
Guess it started with the baby
She went in for a hug then it bit her on the cheek
That was pretty funny to me
But I guess I should have more sympathy
I never raised a kid
But I bet I'd do a good job if I did
Had a dream about a promised land
Walkin' round with a big gun in my hand
And when I look you in the eye
You're gonna tell me that you love me and hold me tight
Cause you know that I have no fear
Ain't gonna walk into the river and disappear
I'm gonna be a powerful man
Red blood running down the broken sand
