You go out, it's no good
You remain made of wood
It's cruel and unusual
It's insane to be out
In the cold light
In the hallways of the world
You keep hearing it said -
"You're a doornail, you're dead
You're dead. You're dead. You're dead."
You're dead...
But one look in his eyes and you know that you're going
One look and you know that you're gone
Please don't bother trying to find her
Let's check your sales, England and Wales
It's not looking good for the dusk, for the dawn
Do not save the date. Wait. Get out of town
You do not save the date, you wait
You get out of town
You do as Romans do
You do as Romans do
You do as Romans do
Sometimes In The World lyrics - Destroyer
I can't pay for this. All I've got is money
And money don't make the world spin
Sometimes in the world the thing that you love dies
And you cry and you cry and cry
Sometimes in the world you turn your back on it
Don't normally go in for that kind of thing, as a rule
Vancouver's got a new Caligula, hey that's cool
Sometimes in the world. Sometimes in the world
Sometimes in the world. Sometimes in the world
Sometimes in the world, you're very alive
You're nuts and bolts and electrocutions
You're antidotes, you're solutions
I can't pay for this. All I've got is money
I can't pay for this. All I've got is money
And money don't make the world spin
Sometimes in the world the thing that you love dies
And you cry and you cry and cry
Sometimes in the world you turn your back on it
Don't normally go in for that kind of thing, as a rule
Vancouver's got a new Caligula, hey that's cool
Sometimes in the world. Sometimes in the world
Sometimes in the world. Sometimes in the world
Sometimes in the world, you're very alive
You're nuts and bolts and electrocutions
You're antidotes, you're solutions
I can't pay for this. All I've got is money
I can't pay for this. All I've got is money
Ivory Coast lyrics - Destroyer
At night I sit and watch the world go by
I'm never never gonna try for the world
Like a rolling stone, always alone
With the father and the ghost
And the ivory on the Ivory Coast
Mama says
"Sometimes everyone hurts
Some beasts eat their shirts
When they're hungry!"
The future looks bleak
The future looks bright
Colour of a star, in the shape of a kite
Will I have to say goodbye to all this dirt, all this snow?
Yes, I think so...
Mama said
"No no no no no."
Like a rolling stone, always alone
In any kind of weather
Good things come to those who wait forever
Good things come to those who wait forever
Good things come to those who wait forever
I'm never never gonna try for the world
Like a rolling stone, always alone
With the father and the ghost
And the ivory on the Ivory Coast
Mama says
"Sometimes everyone hurts
Some beasts eat their shirts
When they're hungry!"
The future looks bleak
The future looks bright
Colour of a star, in the shape of a kite
Will I have to say goodbye to all this dirt, all this snow?
Yes, I think so...
Mama said
"No no no no no."
Like a rolling stone, always alone
In any kind of weather
Good things come to those who wait forever
Good things come to those who wait forever
Good things come to those who wait forever
Stay Lost lyrics - Destroyer
Stay lost. Never found
Out on the street, in The Book of the Dead, for a living
Stay lost. It's an illusion
Being alone's an illusion
Come on, agitation!
W-w-wake up, sh-sh-shake it up!
Levitate! This burden is just
These here three stones!
Stay lost! Stray!
Out on the streets, in The Book of the Dead
Out on the streets, in The Book of the Dead
Out on the streets, in The Book of the Dead
Out on the streets, in The Book of the Dead
Out on the streets...
Out on the street, in The Book of the Dead, for a living
Stay lost. It's an illusion
Being alone's an illusion
Come on, agitation!
W-w-wake up, sh-sh-shake it up!
Levitate! This burden is just
These here three stones!
Stay lost! Stray!
Out on the streets, in The Book of the Dead
Out on the streets, in The Book of the Dead
Out on the streets, in The Book of the Dead
Out on the streets, in The Book of the Dead
Out on the streets...
La Regle Du Jeu lyrics - Destroyer
Tuesday: trees are weeping for the sky and its obscene
Marriage to a woman and its vulgar marriage to a man
A roll of the dice in a world that is bawling and totally loaded
That is bawling and totally loaded...
Thursday: possibilities, slim and endless
Possibilities, slim and endless
The excellent beautiful woman
Left behind at the party by her friends
With a pig of a man who is wasted
She is wasted and slightly blinded
But not so blind as to not see...
L'America...
But not so blind as to not see...
La Règle du Jeu, La Règle du Jeu
La Règle du Jeu, La Règle du Jeu
La Règle du Jeu, La Règle du Jeu
But not so blind as to not see...
Marriage to a woman and its vulgar marriage to a man
A roll of the dice in a world that is bawling and totally loaded
That is bawling and totally loaded...
Thursday: possibilities, slim and endless
Possibilities, slim and endless
The excellent beautiful woman
Left behind at the party by her friends
With a pig of a man who is wasted
She is wasted and slightly blinded
But not so blind as to not see...
L'America...
But not so blind as to not see...
La Règle du Jeu, La Règle du Jeu
La Règle du Jeu, La Règle du Jeu
La Règle du Jeu, La Règle du Jeu
But not so blind as to not see...
Times Square, Poison Season I lyrics - Destroyer
Jesus is beside himself
Jacob's in a state of decimation
The writing on the wall wasn't writing at all
Just forces of nature in love with a weather station
Artists and repertoire
Hand in hand through the greater way at dawn
The writing on the wall said, "Jesus saves"
The writing on the wall mentions Honey played a game with our waves
You can follow a rose wherever it grows
Yeah, you can fall in love with Times Square
Times Square
Jacob's in a state of decimation
The writing on the wall wasn't writing at all
Just forces of nature in love with a weather station
Artists and repertoire
Hand in hand through the greater way at dawn
The writing on the wall said, "Jesus saves"
The writing on the wall mentions Honey played a game with our waves
You can follow a rose wherever it grows
Yeah, you can fall in love with Times Square
Times Square
Dream Lover lyrics - Destroyer
Dream lover, I know
Someone's idea of fun
You and me thought in some city
Lovers on the run, lovers on the run
Haunted starlight gets in your eyes
Grabs hold of us and turns us around
All the signs say you're in for a surprise
All the signs are saying this way to town
All the signs are saying this way
You're sick in bed
You're sick in the head
You'd love a dog to play dead
You'd love a dog to play dead
I think I used to be more fun
Ah shit, here comes the sun
Oh shit, here comes the sun
Look, here comes that sun
And now, here comes that sun
And lovers on the run
And lovers on the run
And lovers on the run
Dream lover, I know
Dream lover, I know
Someone's idea of fun
You and me thought in some city
Lovers on the run, lovers on the run
Haunted starlight gets in your eyes
Grabs hold of us and turns us around
All the signs say you're in for a surprise
All the signs are saying this way to town
All the signs are saying this way
You're sick in bed
You're sick in the head
You'd love a dog to play dead
You'd love a dog to play dead
I think I used to be more fun
Ah shit, here comes the sun
Oh shit, here comes the sun
Look, here comes that sun
And now, here comes that sun
And lovers on the run
And lovers on the run
And lovers on the run
Dream lover, I know
Dream lover, I know
Forces From Above lyrics - Destroyer
Forces from above denied you the right to be free in your own way
Forces from above love the caps of the world
Forces from above denied you the right to be free in your own way
Forces from above, wish you were here, we think the world of you
I tried to follow the lines to the letter
I was in love with you and your sweater
Oh, forces from above
I climbed high the cathedral steps, it was getting on
The evening progressed like a song
But forces from above
I got paid and then I wrote a song
I got paid and then I rode a song into the heavens
Ba-dum bum
Ba-dum bum
Ba-dum bum
I tried to follow the lines to the letter
On her deathbed, she said, "I hope you get better"
Oh, forces from above
I climbed high the cathedral steps, it was getting on
The evening progresses like a song into the heavens
Into the heavens
Into the heavens
Into the heavens
Into the heavens
Forces from above love the caps of the world
Forces from above denied you the right to be free in your own way
Forces from above, wish you were here, we think the world of you
I tried to follow the lines to the letter
I was in love with you and your sweater
Oh, forces from above
I climbed high the cathedral steps, it was getting on
The evening progressed like a song
But forces from above
I got paid and then I wrote a song
I got paid and then I rode a song into the heavens
Ba-dum bum
Ba-dum bum
Ba-dum bum
I tried to follow the lines to the letter
On her deathbed, she said, "I hope you get better"
Oh, forces from above
I climbed high the cathedral steps, it was getting on
The evening progresses like a song into the heavens
Into the heavens
Into the heavens
Into the heavens
Into the heavens
Hell Is An Open Door lyrics - Destroyer
I'll take my chances on the road
On the inside, I'm an ocean
Like a wheel set into motion into the storm
I'll take my chances
I'll take my chances on the road
On the inside, I am an ocean
Like a wheel set into motion into the storm
I'm coming home, I'm coming home
Every murderer voted out of office is sold down the river
Every time I try to look into your eyes, an angel flies by
Baby, it's dumb
Look what I've become
Scum
A relic
A satellite
I was born bright
Now I'm dark as a well
A kite washed up on the shoreline
It's hell down here, it's hell
[x3]
It's hell down here, it's hell
It's hell down here, it's hell
It's hell down here, it's hell
It's hell
It's hell down here, it's hell
It's hell down here, it's hell
It's hell down here
On the inside, I'm an ocean
Like a wheel set into motion into the storm
I'll take my chances
I'll take my chances on the road
On the inside, I am an ocean
Like a wheel set into motion into the storm
I'm coming home, I'm coming home
Every murderer voted out of office is sold down the river
Every time I try to look into your eyes, an angel flies by
Baby, it's dumb
Look what I've become
Scum
A relic
A satellite
I was born bright
Now I'm dark as a well
A kite washed up on the shoreline
It's hell down here, it's hell
[x3]
It's hell down here, it's hell
It's hell down here, it's hell
It's hell down here, it's hell
It's hell
It's hell down here, it's hell
It's hell down here, it's hell
It's hell down here
The River lyrics - Destroyer
She despises the direction this city's been going in
She rises above it all, cause, after all
Someone's gotta go free and someone's gotta fall to the rhythm
Escape from New York, escape from L.A
Take it from me, leave London
You study your Braille, you listen to the hail outside
A comedy of souls, a plot thick with holes
In a windowless room on the outskirts of town overlooking the river
You're living, you're breathing
You're living, you're breathing
You try to believe what you don't believe
You wanted to go, you'll never leave
Lily-covered livers
The rich man shivers for reasons unknown in the wind
"I'm over before I begin," he says
"I'm over before I begin to go," he says
She rises above it all, cause, after all
Someone's gotta go free and someone's gotta fall to the rhythm
Escape from New York, escape from L.A
Take it from me, leave London
You study your Braille, you listen to the hail outside
A comedy of souls, a plot thick with holes
In a windowless room on the outskirts of town overlooking the river
You're living, you're breathing
You're living, you're breathing
You try to believe what you don't believe
You wanted to go, you'll never leave
Lily-covered livers
The rich man shivers for reasons unknown in the wind
"I'm over before I begin," he says
"I'm over before I begin to go," he says
Girl In A Sling lyrics - Destroyer
Two stars
Three stars
The night sky above
Used to mean everything
To horses in love
Girl in a sling
How come
Your eyes come
In and out of focus
In the park all alone?
Early spring
Girl in a sling
[x2]
I've been sifting through these remains for years
Bitter tears, bitter pills
Oh, it sucks when there's nothing but gold in those hills
Girl, I know what you're going through
I'm going there too
Girl, I know what you're going through
I'm going there too
I'm going there too
I'm going there too, ah
I'm going there too
I'm going there too, ah
I'm going there
Three stars
The night sky above
Used to mean everything
To horses in love
Girl in a sling
How come
Your eyes come
In and out of focus
In the park all alone?
Early spring
Girl in a sling
[x2]
I've been sifting through these remains for years
Bitter tears, bitter pills
Oh, it sucks when there's nothing but gold in those hills
Girl, I know what you're going through
I'm going there too
Girl, I know what you're going through
I'm going there too
I'm going there too
I'm going there too, ah
I'm going there too
I'm going there too, ah
I'm going there
Times Square lyrics - Destroyer
Jesus is beside himself
Jacob's in a state of decimation
The writing on the wall wasn't writing at all
Just forces of nature in love with a weather station
Artists and repertoire
Hand in hand through the greater way at dawn
The writing on the wall said, "Jesus saves"
The writing on the wall mentions
Honey played a game with our waves
You can follow a rose wherever it grows
Yeah, you can fall in love with Times Square
Times Square
Judy's beside herself
Jack's in a state of desolation
The writing on the wall wasn't writing at all
Just forces of nature in love with a radio station
You can follow a road to the ocean
Times Square
Times Square
Times Square
Oh, you could fall in love
Oh, you could fall in love
Oh, you could fall in love
Jacob's in a state of decimation
The writing on the wall wasn't writing at all
Just forces of nature in love with a weather station
Artists and repertoire
Hand in hand through the greater way at dawn
The writing on the wall said, "Jesus saves"
The writing on the wall mentions
Honey played a game with our waves
You can follow a rose wherever it grows
Yeah, you can fall in love with Times Square
Times Square
Judy's beside herself
Jack's in a state of desolation
The writing on the wall wasn't writing at all
Just forces of nature in love with a radio station
You can follow a road to the ocean
Times Square
Times Square
Times Square
Oh, you could fall in love
Oh, you could fall in love
Oh, you could fall in love
Archer On The Beach lyrics - Destroyer
Careful now, watch your step, in you go
The Ash King’s made of ashes, the Ice Queen’s made of snow
And Archer’s where you left him, with his arrows stuck inside a peach
Awake on your crutches in the moonlight, Archer on the beach
Careful now, watch your step, in you go
The Ass King’s made of asses, the Ice Queen’s native snow
And Archer’s where you left him, with his arrows slightly out of reach
Impossible raver on your death bed, Archer on the beach
Careful now, watch your step, in you go
The Ice Queen’s made of ashes, the Ash King’s made of snow
And Archer’s where you left him, with his arrows all in a heap
Stapled to the neck of the storm, Archer on the beach
Careful now, watch your step, in you go
Careful now, watch your step, in you go
Careful now, watch your step, in you go
The Ash King’s made of ashes, the Ice Queen’s made of snow
And Archer’s where you left him, with his arrows stuck inside a peach
Awake on your crutches in the moonlight, Archer on the beach
Careful now, watch your step, in you go
The Ass King’s made of asses, the Ice Queen’s native snow
And Archer’s where you left him, with his arrows slightly out of reach
Impossible raver on your death bed, Archer on the beach
Careful now, watch your step, in you go
The Ice Queen’s made of ashes, the Ash King’s made of snow
And Archer’s where you left him, with his arrows all in a heap
Stapled to the neck of the storm, Archer on the beach
Careful now, watch your step, in you go
Careful now, watch your step, in you go
Careful now, watch your step, in you go
Midnight Meet The Rain lyrics - Destroyer
You make a plea for me to come to my senses
Just like the time before, the time before that
Visit the symphony and I smell a rat, well
Midnight meet the rain
Midnight meet the rain
Midnight meet the rain
You were standing on deep waters
We fill our cups with rum
And raise a toast to them
And raise a toast to the world of scum around us closing in
I travel light towards the light
I suffered a terrible fright last night
And I've got no interest in getting dressed today
To go outside and play a game you know so well
You make a plea for me to come to my senses
Just like the time before, the time before that
I visit the symphony, I smell a rat, well
Midnight meet the rain
Midnight meet the rain
Midnight meet the rain
You've been standing on deep waters
Midnight meet the rain
Midnight meet the rain
Midnight meet the rain
You've been standing on deep waters
You've been standing on deep waters
You were standing on deep waters
Just like the time before, the time before that
Visit the symphony and I smell a rat, well
Midnight meet the rain
Midnight meet the rain
Midnight meet the rain
You were standing on deep waters
We fill our cups with rum
And raise a toast to them
And raise a toast to the world of scum around us closing in
I travel light towards the light
I suffered a terrible fright last night
And I've got no interest in getting dressed today
To go outside and play a game you know so well
You make a plea for me to come to my senses
Just like the time before, the time before that
I visit the symphony, I smell a rat, well
Midnight meet the rain
Midnight meet the rain
Midnight meet the rain
You've been standing on deep waters
Midnight meet the rain
Midnight meet the rain
Midnight meet the rain
You've been standing on deep waters
You've been standing on deep waters
You were standing on deep waters
