Gold Lion

Gold lion's gonna tell me where the light is,
Gold lion's gonna tell me where the light is,
Take our hands out of control,
Take our hands out of control

Now, tell me what you saw,
Tell me what you saw,
There was a crowd of seas,
Inside, outside,
I must have done a dozen each

It was the height I grew, the weight,
The shell was crushing you,
I've been around a few

Tell me what you saw,
I'll tell you what to...
Ooh ooh, ooh ooh, ooh ooh, ohh ohh
Ooh ooh, ooh ooh, ooh ooh, ohh ohh

Gold lion's gonna tell me where the light is,
Gold lion's gonna tell me where the light is,
Take our hands out of control,
Take our hands out of control

Outside, Inside,
This is the moon without a tide,
We'll build a fire in your eyes,
We'll build a fire when the color's getting brighter,
Cold desire, makes the moon without a tide

Tell me what you saw,
I'll tell you what to...
Ooh ooh, ooh ooh, ooh ooh, ohh ohh
Ooh ooh, ooh ooh, ooh ooh, ohh ohh

Ooh ooh, ooh ooh, ooh ooh, ohh ohh
Ooh ooh, ooh ooh, ooh ooh, ohh ohh




Way Out

Lies and love
Lies, love
Bed wetting son of the great heat
It's all over me
It's all under me
The face ain't making what the mouth needs

Wonder more
Want, more
Than we did before
Try the new tease
Well, quiet you
Get over me
The shit is running and it runs deep

I'm way out
Way out
Way out
Way out

When you mean it on the inside you still can't get to me
To me

Fits around me so tight, nuh oh
Fits around me so tight, nuh oh
Fits around me so tight, nuh oh
Fits around me so tight, nuh oh
Fits around me
Fits around me
Fits around me
Fits around me
Fits around me
Fits around me
Fits around me
Fits around me

I'm way out
Way out

When you mean it on the inside you still can't to me




Fancy

I find it in an atlas
Or flipping over old news
Check what’s in the trash bag
Well just another part of you
Well just another part of you
I beg your pardon, beg your pardon, beg your pardon
Oh-ah!

Blame me for where you are
Tell me what I gotta lose
'bout to get fancy
Well just another part of you
Well just another part of you
I beg your pardon, beg your pardon, beg your pardon
Oh-ah!

We read it
For three days
We read it
For three days
We read it
For three days
We read it
For three days
We read it

We were overlooked
Like a puzzle book
Dead in the eyes
Dead in the eyes
Watch us from the nooks, ah
We were overlooked
Like a puzzle book
Dead in the eyes
Dead in the eyes
Won’t you find the next, ah

Well just another part of you
Well just another part of you
Well just another part of you
I beg your pardon, beg your pardon, beg your pardon
Oh-ah!

We read it
For three days
We read it
For three days
We read it
For three days
We read it
For three days




Phenomena

Hey!

Don't touch kid, sleep with the lights on
Touch kid, how you surprise me
Now roll kid, knock your body off!

You're something like a phenomena
Something like an astronomer
Roll kid, knock your body off!

Something like a phenomena, baby
Something like a phenomena
Something like a phenomena, babe
Gonna get your body off

Don't fall asleep with the motor running
She'll make you sweat in the water
Don't fall asleep with the motor running
She'll make you sweat in the water

Hot time kid
Hot time kid
It's cold under the blanket
They loved it
Then shot it
The fastest went and got it
That stole it with ease ma
They hide it up the sleeves, ma
They hide it
They hide it
They're never gonna find it

Don't fall asleep with the motor running
She'll make you sweat in the water
Don't fall asleep with the motor running
She'll make you sweat in the water

Something like a phenomena, baby
Something like a phenomena
Something like a phenomena, baby
Gonna get your body off
Something like a phenomena, baby
Something like a phenomena
Something like a phenomena, baby
Gonna get your body off

Hot time kid
Hot time kid
It's cold under the blanket
Hot time kid
Hot time kid
It's cold under the blanket




Honeybear

Turn yourself around, you weren't invited
Turn yourself around, you weren't invited
Good good things happen in bad towns
good good things happen in bad towns

Runaway, runaway you want it
Runaway, runaway you want it
Runaway, anyway you want it
Runaway, runaway you want it

What, what did you do to your back hips
Soft ones, curled lips can’t get ‘em back
Junk jump off too much time for
Old beats, cold beats, I’m just cold meat

Runaway, runaway you want it
Runaway, runaway you want it
Runaway anyway you want it
Runaway, runaway you want it

Gone all alone
I’ve got a call from the bear
Gonna take all his honey honey
Gone, all alone
I’ve got a call from the bear
Gonna take all its honey honey
Gone, all alone
I’ve got a call from the bear
Gonna take all his honey honey
Gone, all alone
I’ve got a call from the bear
Gonna take all his honey honey

Runaway, runaway you want it
Runaway, runaway you want it
Runaway anyway you want it
Runaway, runaway you want it

What, what, what ,what




Cheated Hearts

Cheated by
The opposite of love
Held on high
From up up up above
Kept my high
From the second one
Kept my eye
On the first one

Now take these rings
And stow them safe away
I'll wear them on
Another rainy day
Take these rings
And stow them safe away
I'll wear them on
Another rainy day

Well I'm
Taka-taka-taka-taka-takin' it off
And she's
Taka-taka-taka-taka-takin' it off
And he's
Taka-taka-taka-taka-takin' it off
And we're
Taka-taka-taka-taka-takin' it off

Well sometimes
I think that I'm bigger
Than the sound
Well I think that I'm bigger
Than the sound
Well I think that I'm bigger
Than the sound
Well I think that I'm bigger
Than the sound

Ooh-ooh ooh-ooh ooh ooh

She'll takes on high
She'll take on high-igh

Well sometimes
I think that I'm bigger
Than the sound
Well I think that I'm bigger
Than the sound
Well I think that I'm bigger
Than the sound
Well I think that I'm bigger
Than the sound

Cheated by
The opposite of love
Held on high
From up up up above
Kept my eye
From the second one
Kept my high
On the first one

Now take these rings
And stow them safe away
I'll wear them on
Another rainy day
Take these rings
And stow them safe away
I'll wear them on
Another rainy day

Now take these rings
And stow them safe away
I'll wear them on
Another rainy day
Take these rings
And stow them safe away
I'll wear them on
Another rainy day




Dudley

Hot cold season gonna sink in my sweat
No one isn't ever gonna make it there yet
If you can't even cope with it
Then you'll pass me by
You'll take it over
And make it mine

Fast slow living is a holding me back
Wishing that my baby never told me that
I can't even cope to make it last
Then you'll pass me by
You'll take it over
And make it mine

Then you want it a want it a want it again
Then you want it a want it a want it again
Then you want it a want it a want it again
Then you want it a want it a want it again

My dear, you've been used
I'm breaking the news
Love nearly beat us
I'm thinking like you
I'm thinking of you
Love follows near us
Can love really steer us?
Oh can it be true?
Oh can it be true?

Lost all reason after playing your game
Better quit staring cause your looking the same
I can't even cope to make a change
Then you'll pass me by
You'll take it over
And make it mine

Use me up,
Use me up,
Taper off and I'm had




Mysteries

My arms are all twisted
The only thing I miss is
I messed up I missed it
I messed up the missing of you

It's getting to sound
Like they've seen you around
With her

No mystery
No mystery
No mysteries

Everyone knows
The secretest code of mine
They'll tell all my friends
And they'll tell all my enemies too

Mystery
No mysteries
No mysteries

No mystery
No mystery
No mysteries

Take it away, Nick!

I don't even know what it's like
Not to go back to you
I don't even know
Who I like less
You or me
You or me
You or me

It's anyone's, anyone's guess…
It's anyone's, anyone's guess…
Stress, stress!
Dress
Stress, stress, stress!
Dress!




The Sweets

Green shadow
Water wait all o- all over me
The end will shelter me away from me
Can we meet again
Meet and meet and meet and meet again
Can you fill the can
If you can feel me

Who you following
Who you starting to move like
Who you falling for
Who you falling for, who's lies
Who you following
Who you falling for
This sound's on your side

Secret blue purple pink and green right over it
Hold on 'cause the coldest hasn't thawed yet
Well if we meet again
Meet and meet and meet and meet again
Can you catch the can
If you can fill it

How will you want something to hit with
Spinning again and again and again and again
What's your crime
What's your crime
Well how will you want
How will she sit
What's spinning again and again and again and again
What's your crime
What's your, what's your, what's your, what's your
What's your crime, crime, crime
What's your, what's your, what's your, what's your
What's your crime




Warrior

When it's missing then you want it more
It isn't right
Turning turning out the door
And back to this
Leave it like it was before
And let me out
Must've been the end of the story

Giving it all
Giving it all away
You're going to wake up someone
Study it all
The wings, the crowd, your face
You're going to end up like one

Trouble at home
Travel the way you say
The road don't like me
Travel the way
Travel it all the way
The road's going to end on me

Men, they like me
'Cause I'm a warrior
A warrior
Stand on my feet
Dance the warrior
The warrior
Where would I be?
I'd be a warrior
A warrior

Now the strangers have caught on
And they're riding in the back seat
The rivers going to wash all
Yeah, the river it spoke to me
It told me I'm small
And I swallowed it down
If I make it at all
I'll make you want me

Trouble at home
Travel the way you say
The road don't like me
Travel it all
Travel it all the way
The road's going to get on me

And I'm small
The road's going to get on me
If it gets it at all
The road's going to end on me

Like a warrior
A warrior
Dance the warrior
The warrior




Turn Into

I know what I know
I know on the car ride down
I hear it in my head real low
Turn into the only thing I ever

Turn into hope I do
Turn into you

I know what I know
Well I know that girl you found
Keep that kind of window closed
She'll turn into the only thing that ever

Turn into hope I do
Turn into you

Can't say why I kept this from you
My those quiet eyes become you
Leave it where it can't remind us
Turn this all around behind us
Well I know
How far I am to keep you out
I'd like to tell you all about it

I know what I know
I know this last time round
I'll hear it in my head real low
Turn into the only thing that ever known
Only thing that ever knows

I know what I know
I know, ah yes
