Come Around Sundown

[Verse 1]

I don't want the street lights

Laughing at the grave

He swears he's gonna give it up

It's never gonna be enough

I just wanna be there

When you're all alone

Thinking about a better day

When you had it in your bones

[Hook]

This could be the end...

This could be the end

This could be the end

This could be the end

[Verse 2]

I see you in the evening

Sitting on your throne

You're playing with a fireball

And posted up against the wall

I just wanna hold you

Take you by your hand

And tell you that you're good enough

Tell you that it's gonna be tough

[Hook]

This could be the end...

This could be the end

This could be the end

This could be the end...

Cos I ain't got a home

[Verse 3]

Running from the street lights

Shining on the grave

Once you've had the good stuff

Never gonna fill you up

I wanna be the one who

Gives them all a whirl

And gives them all the finger at it

Just a little taste of it

[Hook]

This could be the end...

This could be the end

This could be the end

This could be the end

Cos I ain't got a home

I'll forever roam

Said I ain't got a home

I'll forever roam

No I ain't got a home

I'll forever roam

I ain't got a home

[Verse 1]

When the roll is called up yonder

I hope you see me there

[Chorus]

It's in the water

It's where you came from

It's in the water

It's where you came from

[Verse 2]

When the crowd begins to wonder

And they cry to see your face

[Chorus]

It's in the water, it's in the story

Where you came from

The sons and daughters in all their glory

It's gonna shape 'em

And when they clash and come together

And start rising

Just drink the water where you came from

Where you came from

[Bridge]

You're the rose that was called from yonder

Never sold yourself away

[Chorus]

It's in the water, it's in the story

Where you came from

Your sons and daughters in all their glory

It's gonna shape 'em

And when they clash and come together

And start rising

Just drink the water where you came from

Where you came from

It's in the water

It's where you came from (Where you came from)

It's in the water

It's where you came from (Where you came from)

And when they clash and come together

And start rising

Just drink the water where you came from

Where you came from

[Verse 1: Caleb Followill]

Single book of matches, gonna burn what's standing in the way

Roaring down the mountain, now they're calling on the fire brigade

Bury all the pictures and tell the kids that I'm okay

If'n I'm forgotten, they'll remember me for today

[Chorus]

I, I won't ever be your cornerstone

I, I

[Verse 2]

All the black inside me is slowly seeping from the bone

Everything I cherish is slowly dying or it's gone

Little shaken babies and drunkards seem to all agree

Once the show gets started, it's bound to be a sight to see

[Chorus]

I, I won't ever be your cornerstone

I, I don't wanna be here holdin' on

I, I won't ever be your cornerstone

I, I

[Bridge]

Watch her roll

Can you feel it?

Watch her roll

Can you feel it?

Watch her roll

Can you feel it?

Watch her roll

Can you feel it?

[Chorus]

I, I won't ever be your cornerstone

I, I don't wanna be here holdin' on (Watch her roll, can you feel it?)

I, I won't ever be your cornerstone (Watch her roll)

I, I

[Hook: Caleb Followill]

(Haa-ah)

(Haa-ah)

(Haa-ah)

(Haa-ah)

[Verse 1]

Mary, if you want to

I'll waive my right

I'll be on the corner, just passing time

[Chorus]

No, I won't

Ever once

Make you cry

Just a kiss

Oh, I'll miss

You're goodbye

Hi, hi, hi, hi, hi, hi

[Hook]

(Haa-ah)

(Haa-ah)

(Haa-ah)

(Haa-ah)

[Verse 2]

We'll go to the disco

We'll be the sight

Oh, and we'll dance like we're boyfriends

In sheer delight

[Chorus]

Oh, I won't

Never once

Make you cry

With the kiss

Oh, I'll miss

Your goodbye

[Guitar Solo: Matthew Followill]

[Chorus]

Oh, I won't

Never once

Make you cry

Just to kiss

Oh, and I'll miss

Your goodbye

Hi, hi, hi-hi, hi, hi

[Hook: Caleb Followill & Band]

Oh, oh, oh

Oh, oh, oh

Hi, hi, hi, hi, hi, hi

Oh, oh, oh

Hi, hi, hi-hi, hi, hi

Oh, oh, oh

Hi, hi, hi-hi, hi, hi

Oh, oh, oh

Hi, hi, hi-hi, hi, hi

Oh, oh, oh

Hi, hi, hi-hi, hi, hi

14 ContributorsThe Face LyricsBeneath the dance hall lights

You seem a girl so sound

Lights up the ground

If you give up New York

I'll give you Tennessee

The only place to be

The cowboy's burning eyes

Don't like the sight of me

Just straight enough to breathe

I like your point of view

So don't you shy away

Ride out the wave

Ride out the wave

Ride out the wave

Ride out the wave

Ride out the wave

You had me holding of

All the time and place

Ride out the wave

Bury yourself away

The one and only face

Ride out the wave

Ride out the wave

Ride out the wave

[Verse 1]

The open road, the path of greatness

Is at your fingers

Go be the one, that keeps on fighting

Go be the stranger

Just put your foot, in front the other

Crow like a rooster

Be all in all, together something

Fear is a danger

I Say

[Chorus]

Spill out on streets of stars

And ride away

Find out what you are

Face to face

[Verse 2]

The windows are, the perfect picture

They're always changing

Go on get lost, jump in the waters

When they are raging

I Say

[Chorus] (x2)

Spill out on streets of stars

And ride away

Find out what you are

Face to face

Once you've had enough

Carry on

Don't forget to love

Before you're gone

[Verse 1 - Kings of Leon]

Come on out and dance

If you get the chance

We're going to spit on the rivals

All I want to know

Is how far you want to go

Fighting for survival

Underneath the stars

Where we parked the cars

Ain't showing signs of stopping

Pretty little girls

Naked to their curls

Ready to lay in a coffin

[Chorus - Kings of Leon]

If you want to go

I'm going to go

I've got a fire burning

Go on take my hand

When we see the band

Baby's going to be a big one, oh yeah

Baby's going to be a big one

[Verse 2 - Kings of Leon]

When we see the lights

And we hear the fights

It's going to be a stunner

I've got something here

If you give me one more beer

I'm going to call the runner

I don't want to say

What I have to say

Babe, I'm a kicking off now

[Chorus - Kings of Leon]

If you want to go

I'm going to go

I'm going back down South now [x2]

If you want to go

I'm going back down South now

Come on take my hand

I'm going back down South now

When we see the lights

And we hear the fights

I'm going back down South now

All I want to know

Is how far you want to go

I'm going back down South now, oh yeah

I'm going back down South now

[Verse 1]

Got an attitude

Thinking that he's always right

Blowing smoke rings

Making me want to fight

And then I look back

At all things I've ever done

And then I look up

Seeing that he's on the run [x2]

[Verse 2]

It's a big thing

Everything your heart desires

And now I have to

Try and outdo the fight

I caught a big break

When playing in the role

I saw you laughing

Even though you know it's so [x2]

Even when you're on the run

Even though you know it's so

[Outro][repeat until fade]

Seeing that he's on the run

Even though you know it's so

[Verse 1]

Won't you give me something I need

Won't you peel me off of the street

Go and wet my tongue

Spit me up and break me a fever

Give me something I can believe in

Give me something, to walk me away

I'm a waste of time

And all in all waste of a living

Waste of a living

Can't you see me walking alone

I've been down to the horns and back

And I'm way too tired

Of blowing out the burning candles

[Chorus]

I got no money, but I want you so [x2]

I got so much I cannot handle

Cannot handle

I cannot handle

[Verse 2]

And all this pissing around

Cut loose in this fucking town

I ain't coming back

I got my ticket on to the next one

[Chorus]

I got no money, but I want you so [x2]

And I want [x3]

And I want it

[Verse]

I got razor sharp mind that wants to cut you down

A little place in mind maybe I could bed you down

Pony up, we got a ways to go

Set me up my friend, I'm running low

Oh, if you take my hand I'm going to get you out to here

The crash of bottles breaking and the swinging chandelier

In a rain of bullets and blood and snow

I saw the midnight coming and I watched her go

In a rain of bullets and blood and snow

I saw the midnight come and I watched her go

[Outro]

Yeah, I watched her go

I watched her

I watched her go

[Verse 1]

It's in the way she often calls me out

It's in the cut of your pretty gown

Your come on legs and your pantyhose

You look so precious with your bloody nose

[Chorus]

We're gonna come together

We're gonna celebrate

We're gonna gather round

Like it's your birthday

I don't want to know

Just what I'm gonna do

I don't care where you're going

I'm coming along with you

[Verse 2]

Walking her home with the grassy hill

Falling and laughing at the drinks we've spilled

Just one of those nights that I had to share

Chasing the death without a care

[Chorus]

We're gonna come together

We're gonna celebrate

We're gonna gather round

Like it's your birthday

I don't want to know

Just what I'm gonna do

I don't care where you're going

I'm coming along with you

[Bridge]

You know I love the way you curve[?]

[Chorus]

We're gonna come together

We're gonna celebrate

We're gonna gather round

Like it's your birthday

I don't want to know

Just what I'm gonna do

I don't care where you're going

I'm coming along with you

[Verse 1]

I got a friend

Shows me all the good times

Tells me I look better

Chews me up and spits me out

And then walks my ass home

And sings a song

When I'm gone, gone, go on

That little friend

Shoots me up and downtown

When I can't get me drunk enough

To pick me out the pieces

Of a place I call home

[Chorus]

To sing a song

Until I'm gone, gone, go on

No

Go on [x3]

[Verse 2]

I've got a friend

Helps me to get up again

Showers me in boozes

Tells me I got a big old dick

And she wants my ass home

[Chorus]

To sing a song

Until I'm gone, gone, go on

You know, son

Go on, [x5] on

Walk you home to see, where your livin' around, and I know this place

Pour yourself on me, And you know I'm the one, that you won't forget

(2nd Verse)

And in your denim eyes, I see something's awry, and I see you're weak

When he comes around, see your fixin' to shine, and my face won't speak

(Chorus)

Hate to be so emotional

I didn't aim to get physical

But when he pulled in and revved it up

I said, 'you call that a pick up truck?'

And in the moonlight I throwed him down

Kickin' screamin' & rolling around

A little piece of a bloody tooth

Just so you know I was thinking of you

Just so you know ohhhhh

(3rd Verse)

Tremblin' misery, and as cold as a hole

I hug your bones and skin, cracklin' woods gone white, and my eyes swoll up now

I can see the light

(Chorus)

Hate to be so emotional

I didn't aim to get physical

But when he pulled in and revved it up

I said, 'you call that a pick up truck?'

And in the moonlight I throwed him down

Kickin' screamin' & rolling around

Kickin' screamin' & rolling around

A little piece of a bloody tooth

Just so you know I was thinking of you
