Альбом The Dodos

Black night, blackness
When I wanted you, how I haunted you
All to myself
One gift, one slip
Where you hiding at, who you're aiming at
Won't kiss and tell

Control yourself
I don't want it to, I don't need it to
Can someone else
Counting until
When you're heading to, ‘cause your attitude
Turn on itself

Kind heart, kindness
Where you going to, are you going through
Heaven or hell
Won't slip, won't miss
When I'm on to you, send it over to
Your faith in hell

Control yourself
I don't want it to, I don't need it to
Contain itself
Counting until
It was never that, I was aiming at
Being someone else
He! [x8]

You want it all. You want to walk. You want to walk.
Right through it
You had it all. You had it all. You had it all
You threw it
You want it all. You want to walk. You want to walk.
Right through it.
You had it all. You had it all. You had it all
You threw it

Black night, blackness

You want it all. You want to walk. You want to walk
Right through it
You had it all, you had it all, you had it all
You threw it
You want it all. You want to walk. You want to walk.
Right through it
You had it all, you had it all, you had it all
You threw it

This takes us by surprise I'm sure
Are you the curse? Are you the cure?
Sometimes you know you ask too much
Been getting good at giving up

This ship is going under, going under, going under
[repeat 2x]

Cast off, but hit the ocean floor
Misguided thread in all your pores
I see you there upon a bluff
You disappear a tiny dot

This ship is going under, going under, going under
[repeat 4x]

Misplace my heart, misplace my hope
I'm here without it
Contained at home to all the brave
And bold who found it

To know you still, I hold you in,
I hope you know, I only begin
I hope you will, doing it once,
I know you will, I've only begun

Give all my things, to all my enemies are grounded
I make amends, I gave it up, I hope you found it
I see you still, I hold you in,
I hope you know, I only begin
To all of them, doing it once,
I hope you know, I've only begun

Oh

To all the gold, my hands are up, I hide my plunder
Goodbye to everyone I know, we're going under
I see you still, I hold you in,
I hope you know, I only begin
To all of them, doing it once,
I hope you know, I've only begun

Oh

In my head, it's all been laughter;
In my head, it's all been laughter;
In my head, it's all been laughter!

Could you be certain,
What you've been searching?
Won't be late

What you've been hoping
Could leave you broken,
Don't be late

Cause even when your cries stop
They belong to break in two
Cause even when your cries stop

In my head, it's all I'm after;
In my head, it's all I'm after;
In my head, it's all I'm after!

Could you be certain?
What you've been searching?
Won't be late

What you've been hoping
Could leave you broken
Don't be late

Cause even when your cries stop
They belong to break in two
[repeat 3x]

Cause even when your cries stop

Wouldn't cut you off or even if I could
Confiscate your love or leave it when I should
You've got a big heart maybe start making your turn
Is it better to be on or be good?

Couldn't cast you off or nobody's that good
Confiscate your love or leave it when I should
You've got a big heart maybe start making your turn
Is it better to be on or be good?

Recall, a means to conjure you up
You're welcome awhile now
Begone, this one's too proud to love
Too careful to send you off

I cannot sleep, I cannot think, I cannot dream
[repeat 4x]

This kid, grotesque's the paintings proof
That someone's created
He knows, not what he thinks to lose
Too stable to lend you off

I cannot sleep, I cannot think, I cannot dream
[repeat 4x]

Time to get us all together
[repeat til end]

What were you thinking writing on the roof top
Waiting for something or maybe someone
And you were laughing circling the road block
You put in front of, to keep your heart locked

Don't try and hide it, it's all you're left with
You will need more than gaining affection
Don't try and fight it, what you've been offering
Doesn't even match up with what you're born with

If this is the last of your kind, well don't be blind
And leave it to others
[repeat 2x]

Don't memorize all of your locations
You are nowhere, you are nothing vacant
Don't give your eyes to other's vocations
They are there to keep you in your station

Don't try and hide it, don't try and fight it
Don't try and hide it, don't try and hide it fight it
[repeat 2x]

And what the hell were you putting your faith in?
Something you could not, someone you look too
And now you watch it, always floating over
What you would long for, what you were born to

Don't memorize all of your locations
You are nowhere, you are nothing vacant
Don't give your eyes to other's vocations
They will only keep you in your station

Don't try and hide it, don't try and fight it
Don't try and hide it, don't try and hide it fight it
[repeat 4x]

Who knew that you would fall away
I think of you as highly gorgeous
It's easy when you call to me
I don't know what I'm told
I wanted them to get in the way
Two things back and forth
And disintegrate
So why do you ask me

When will you go? Nothing's permanent, I thought you know
Why do you ask me
When will you go? Nothing's permanent, I thought you know

I'll take you where you hold your fears
I'll show you what you know, but can't see
I keep you where I know you'll be
I'll show you what it means to be
Discarded and put to the side
Like things back and forth
And can't integrate
So why do you ask me

When will you go? Nothing's permanent, I thought you know
Why do you ask me
When will you go? Nothing's permanent, I thought you know

Is this your last call to me?
Is this your last call to me?
Is this your last call to me?
Is this your last call to me?
I hope it is

I know you and I can't believe you;
When you say you give, when given to.
I called you in, I know you won't be
Offering your care and making me;
I need you and you know I'm only
Cautioned to the wind when it's blowing.
I called you in, I know you won't be
Offering your care get me out of here soon

I'll be heading out, hunting season here soon,
You go be a girl, I'll go searching for food,
You take care of him, I'll take care of;
You take care of him, I'll take care of...

How I'm suppose to know that?
How I'm supposed to know?
How I'm suppose to know that?
How I'm supposed to know?
How I'm suppose to know that?
How I'm supposed to know that you need me?
How I'm suppose to know that?
How I'm supposed to know?

I know you did your talking with me
As a trophy head, it's so easy.
I know you when, I let you get me,
Chase me to my death while I'm wasting.
I called you in, I know you won't be
Listening to the wind; when I'm leaving.
I give to you, I don't know what
It's going to take me to get you out of my sight

This is what I've been waiting for the red light
You go be a girl I'll be leaving tonight
You take care of him, I take care of;
You take care of him, I take care of..

You know you did, you held on for too long
You know you did, you held on for too long
You know you did, you held on for too long
You know you did, you held on for too long

Insipid wait and so we play
Companions
No story games, could you behave?
Companions

Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh...

I hold you in, you're holding out
[repeat 2x]

If I can wait, could you be mine?
Companions
Are we the same? Could we behave?
As companions

Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh...

You hold me in, I'm holding out
[repeat 2x]

This cursed wall between us
You left me on so needless
The curtains cast, it's seamless
The healing starts or pass right through

And you long to, keep it off you
Dancing often, and towards you
Till you've gone to, bleeding soften
Ones that got you, and so often

I see you off to end this
We're changing our directions
Or kill before be helpless
Love carries on to pass right through

And you long to, keep it off you
Dancing often, and towards you
Till you've gone to, bleeding soften
Ones that got you, and so often
Don't stop

Don't let your boss catch you, don't stop
[repeat 4x]

Who cares, it's gone, you know
It only happen once
But still, repair, what's lost
Not only happy ones
Oh-oh oh, oh-oh oh, oh-oh oh...
