New World Towers Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Green, green, the neon green, new world towers
Carved out of grey white skies, twenty-four hours
Glide through the glass arcade to Hollywood
The psychopomp, it leads me dreaming
[Verse 2]
Of love, love, so far away, new world towers (Seven on me)
Log in your name and pray, twenty-four hours (Seven on me)
Green turns to red and blue and time relates (Seven on me)
To us all again (Seven on a left-hand side)
And sleep the rescue (Seven on me)
[Verse 3]
Green, green, the neon green, new world towers (Seven on me)
Plane flying overhead, satellite showers (Seven on me)
Fall like confetti on the cavalcade (Seven on me)
The flashboat seas (Seven on a left-hand side)
All auguries (Seven on me)
Reflected in you (Seven on a left-hand side)
[Bridge]
Seven on me
Seven on a left-hand side
Seven on me
Seven on me
[Verse 4]
Love, love, so far away, new world towers
Carved out of grey white sky, twenty-four hours
Green turns to red and blue and time relates (Seven on me)
The flashboat seas (Seven on a left-hand side)
All auguries (Seven on me)
Reflected in you (Seven on a left-hand side)
[Outro]
Seven on me
Seven on me
Seven on a left-hand side
Seven on me
Seven on me
Seven on me
Seven on me
Seven on a left-hand side
Seven on me
Go Out Lyrics
[Intro]
Oh, oh-oh, oh-oh-oh, oh, oh, oh-oh-oh
Oh, oh-oh, oh-oh-oh, oh, oh, oh
[Verse 1]
I get a set alone
Dancing with myself
Greedy go-getter gone
The luxury of stealth
Obsidian the ha-a-a-a-a-all
Dancing with myself
I get into my bed
I do it to myself
[Chorus 1]
To the local (Oh, oh-oh, oh-oh-oh, oh, oh, oh-oh-oh)
To the lo-o-o, I go out (Oh, oh-oh, oh-oh-oh, oh, oh)
To the lo-o-o-o-ocal, by myself (Oh, oh-oh, oh-oh-oh, oh, oh)
To the lo-o-o-o-ocal (Oh, oh-oh, oh-oh-oh, oh, oh)
[Verse 2]
I get into my head
There's nothing to be addressed now
There's nothing to get up about
'Cause we do it all the time
The shepherdess undone
She done it all again
I get ready to go
The greed go-getter come
[Chorus 2]
He going to the local (Oh, oh-oh, oh-oh-oh, oh, oh, oh-oh-oh)
He going to the local-oh-oh (Oh, oh-oh, oh-oh-oh, oh, oh, oh)
He going to the lo-o-o-o-ocal (Oh, oh-oh, oh-oh-oh, oh, oh)
He going to the lo-o-o-o-ocal (Oh, oh-oh, oh-oh-oh, oh, oh)
[Verse 3]
Too many Western men
Top button left undone
Imperious their signs
The pedlars of luxury
A greedy go-getter in the sky bar
She on her own
She get ready to go
She does it with herself
[Chorus 3]
She does it with herself (Oh, oh-oh, oh-oh-oh, oh, oh, oh-oh-oh)
She does it with herself (Oh, oh-oh, oh-oh-oh, oh, oh, oh)
She does it on her o-o-o-o-o-own (Oh, oh-oh, oh-oh-oh, oh, oh)
She does it on her o-o-o-o-o-own (Oh, oh-oh, oh-oh-oh, oh, oh)
I Broadcast Lyrics
[Verse 1]
I love the aspects of another city
The representatives are alright
In circulation, the snake and the tiger
Waking up clean-shaven in industrial light
[Chorus]
I broadcast, buzzing on another day now
All for a cold sore, something out of nothing
[Verse 2]
I love the aspects of another city
It's got your number and your blood type
Living in Tetris, I need soft focus
The apparitions of another bloody good night, right?
[Chorus]
I broadcast, buzzing on another day now
All for a high score, something out of nothing
[Bridge]
I broadcast
I'm running, I'm running
I'm running (Fuck yeah!)
[Chorus]
I broadcast, buzzing on another day now
All for a cold sore, something out of nothing
[Instrumental Break]
[Chorus]
I broadcast, buzzing on another day now
All for a cold sore, something out of nothing
My Terracotta Heart Lyrics
[Verse 1]
And the bright rays we got in summertime
Seemed like a breath of fresh air back in the summertime
When we were more like brothers, but that was years ago
So if it doesn’t seem like a protocol
[Chorus]
I'm running out of heart today
I'm running out of open road to you
And I know you are emoting and you're dazed
Is something broke inside you?
'Cause at the moment I'm lost
And feeling that I don't know if I'm losing you again
[Verse 2]
And when we fly tomorrow over the Java seas
And my younger maps will be there with me
'Cause they remind me of swimming out too far one day
Then the coral was gone, but I didn't care anyway
[Chorus]
I was running out of heart that day
I was running out of open road to you
And I know I was emoting, I was dazed
Is something broke inside me?
'Cause at the moment I'm lost
And feeling that I don't know if I'm losing you again
I'm running out of heart here
Just sitting out the constant doubt in my head
But I don't know what it is
I'm sweating out the toxins
Is my terracotta heart breaking?
I don't know if I'm losing you, if I'm losing you again
There Are Too Many of Us Lyrics
[Verse 1]
There are too many of us
That's plain to see
We all believe in praying
For our immortality
We've posed these questions to our children
That calls them all to stray
And live in tiny houses
Of the same mistakes we made
[Chorus]
'Cause there are too many of us
In tiny houses here and there
Passing out of somewhere
But you won't care
[Verse 2]
There are too many of us
That's plain to see
And we all believe in praying
For our own immortality
For a moment, I was dislocated
My terror on a loop elsewhere
The flashing lights part vacated
On the big screens everywhere
[Chorus]
'Cause there are too many of us
In tiny houses here and there
Just passing out of somewhere
But you won't care
[Verse 3]
There are too many of us
In tiny houses here and there
All looking through the windows
On everything we share
[Instrumental Break]
[Verse 4]
We pose these questions to our children
It leads them all to stray
And live in tiny houses
Of the same mistakes we make
[Chorus]
'Cause there are too many of us
Oh, that's plain to see
All living in tiny houses (Passing out of somewhere)
Of our own mortality (But you won't care)
Ghost Ship Lyrics
[Verse 1]
I remember flashbacks lighting up Magic Whip
Eight o'clock, Kowloon emptiness, handle it
The white horse image I had of you eleven seconds ago
I didn't send you, so you will never know
I got away for a little while
But then it came back much harder
[Verse 2]
Swinging on a cable up to Po Lin
Climbing panda, ghostly wine, and a battery
That light in your eyes I search for religiously
When it's not there, oh Lord, it's hurting me
I got away for a little while
But then it came back much harder
[Chorus]
'Til I ever hold you out there again, will you be mine?
'Cause I'm on a ghost ship drowning my heart in Hong Kong
It's the last ride boarding here tonight
Out in the bay (Out in the bay)
I'll need a lantern in you to shine out bright rays
[Verse 3]
Feeling out of body here, what can I do?
It's up to the top every day to join with you
I had to get away for a little while
But then it came back much harder
[Chorus]
'Til I ever hold you out there again, will you be mine?
'Cause I'm on a ghost ship drowning my heart in Hong Kong
It's the last ride boarding here tonight
Out in the bay (Out in the bay)
I'll need a lantern in you to shine out bright rays
[Instrumental Break]
[Chorus]
'Til I ever hold you out there again, will you be mine?
'Cause I'm on a ghost ship drowning my heart in Hong Kong
It's the last ride boarding here tonight
Out in the bay (Out in the bay)
I'll need a lantern in you to shine out bright rays
Bright rays, bright rays
