She's goin up to the top floor, see all the cars wash up on the shore. Looking out for a silver door. Go out on the roof to hear the sky roar.
She says she's going flying, she says he's goin home. At 18 another sees what ever its done to me, whatever its done to me.
She's finding it out, a drunken stare.Ilummen ton, and shattered hair. She's making it up, a perfect song. Do you like fun, do you really like fun?
She's goin up to the top floor, see all the cars wash up on the shore. Looking out for a silver door. Go out on the roof to hear the sky roar. To hear the sky roar. To hear the sky roar, roar.
Circus
------------
well, we set you up and weigh you down. I make you stand, rags and bones. when you know you're not a thing. this is the end of everything(2x).
Do you say, can you see? There's a river in front of me, there's an ocean inside of me.
There was a way to fight it down, marry me off to the idea clown. It doesn't seem like they are. They let you know she had a twin, open the doors and watch them spin. They were the same ones, but it was better.
Dou you say, can you see? There's a river in front of me, there's an ocean inside of me. She can say, murderous son(?)(3x)
League of Nations
----------------------------
First words, written on the back of his head. don't turn around, you can see this. we're gonna go to Spain for the money. I wanna go on a bus to the bottom.
The League of Nations(2x). Just like the justice league. It's the League of Nations
The old car just doesn't fit anymore. this is the place where I broke down the door. Century palace, well you malace pictures of how he looks down at the bottom.
The League of Nations.(2x) Just like the justice league. It's the League of Nations
oh oh, underneath I can look up from where I was. Lost my breath, choked on your fingers and thank you for saving me. I'm down on the trial with my face in the white.
The League of Nations(2x). Just like the justice league. it's the league of nations.
Land Locked Swim
-------------------------------
I'm not going anywhere. I've never been anywhere. Sandy stayed in the house for 7 days, we couldn't find her. The water in the corner's turning grey, there's no one there to tell her. the ninth floor(she never closes the door.)
I'm not riding anyone. I've never been on top of anyone. Sandy stayed in the house for 7 days, we couldn't find her. The water in the corner's turning grey, there's no one there to tell her. the ninth floor(she never closes the door.) Sha-sha-shake. Sha-sha-shake.
Adaptor
-------------
slow time, went around forgetting why we tried. How's the light inside this? One time, on your father's bed. Outside, the day was dead.
Light the way, burning i n between us. Stop, don't stop, like the manna ray
