Track Lyrics
U.R.A. Fever Lyrics
[Verse 1: Jamie Hince, Alison Mosshart]
Walk you to the counter
What you got to offer
Pick you out a soda
Look at you forever
Walk you to the water
Eyes like a casino
You ain't born typical
Find a piece of silver
Pretty as a diagram
Go down to the Rio
Put it in my left hand
Put it in a fruit machine
Everyone's a winner
Laughing like a seagull
[Chorus: both]
You are a fever, you are a fever
You ain't born typical
You are a fever, you are a fever
You ain't born typical
[Verse 2:Jamie Hince, Alison Mosshart & both]
Living in a suitcase
Meet a clown and fall in love
Been dying to have you over
Clown around and break up
Take you to a jukebox
That's the situation
Pick you out a number
That's our arrangement
Dancing on the legs of a new born pony
Left right left right, keep it up son
Go ahead and have her, go ahead and leave her
You only ever had her when you were a fever
[Chorus: both]
I am a fever, I am a fever
I ain't born typical
I am a fever, I am a fever
I ain't born typical
We are a fever, We are a fever
We ain't born typical
We are a fever, We are a fever
We ain't born typical
We are a fever, We are a fever
We ain't born typical
We are a fever, We are a fever
We ain't born typical
Cheap and Cheerful Lyrics
[Verse 1]
I'm bored of cheap and cheerful
I want expensive sadness
Hospital bills, parole
Open doors to madness
[Hook]
I want you to be crazy
Cause you're boring baby when you're straight
I want you to be crazy
Cause you're stupid baby when you're sane
[Verse 2]
I'm sick of social graces
Show your sharp tipped teeth
Lose your cool in public
Dig that illegal meat
Cause love is just a dialogue
You can't survive on ice-cream
You got the same needs as a dog
[Bridge]
It's alright (it's alright)
To be mean (to be mean)
It's alright (it's alright)
To be mean (to be mean)
[Hook]
I want you to be crazy
Cause you're boring baby when you're straight
I want you to be crazy
Cause you're stupid baby when you're sane
[Bridge]
It's alright (it's alright)
To be mean (to be mean)
It's alright (it's alright)
To be mean (to be mean)
It's alright (it's alright)
To be mean (to be mean)
It's alright (it's alright)
To be mean (to be mean)
[Hook]
I want you to be crazy
Cause you're boring baby when you're straight
I want you to be crazy
Cause you're stupid baby when you're sane
I want you to be crazy
Cause you're boring baby when you're straight
I want you to be crazy
Cause you're stupid baby when you're sane
Black Balloon Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Elevator straight into my skull
The escalator rises as it falls
I swear our jet is crashing in my mind
You can hold on but I wouldn't waste your time
[Hook]
Farewell my black balloon
Farewell my black balloon
[Verse 2]
I've stood in a thousand street scenes
Just around the corner from you
On the edge of a dream that you have
Has anybody ever told you, it's not coming true?
[Hook]
Farewell my black balloon
Farewell my black balloon
Let the weather have its way with you
Farewell my black balloon
Let the weather have its way with you
Farewell my black balloon
Aaaa
Aaaaaa
Aaaaa
Aaaaaaa
Aaaa
Aaaaaa
Aaaaa
Aaaaaaaa
[Hook]
Farewell my black balloon
Farewell my black balloon
Let the weather have its way with you
Farewell my black balloon
Let the weather have its way with you
Farewell my black balloon
Let the weather have its way with you
Farewell my black balloon
Let the weather have its way with you
Farewell my black balloon
Alphabet Pony Lyrics
[Chorus]
He's the alphabet pony
He's the alphabet pony
[Verse 1]
Phoney monkey toy money
Lose end soda hands
Pink plastic Jesus on the dashboard
Just saying
[Chorus]
He's the alphabet pony
Oh, he's the alphabet pony
[Verse 2]
No fun, not happy
Got no money, need a friend
A volcano dish on a mountain-top to live in
[Chorus]
He's the alphabet pony
Oh, he's the alphabet pony
He's the alphabet pony
Oh, He's the alphabet pony, hey
[Verse 3]
Cancel Sunday, cancel Monday
Don't look at me
I been running on a no-tomorrow road at great speed
N-n-n-need a punch a pop, a bang, a different song
Like a nice new home needs a mean stray dog
[Chorus]
Yeah, he's the alphabet pony
He's the alphabet pony
He's the alphabet pony
He's the alphabet pony
[Verse 4]
Oh we go up down, up down, up down town again
We like the walk, the talk don't stop
And fall into the quicksand
Sharp teeth dry heat
Can't breathe, too many sins
Don't forget my cigarettes
And get something that we can drink
[Chorus]
He's the alphabet pony
Oh, he's the alphabet pony
He's the alphabet pony, hey
He's the alphabet pony
What New York Used to Be Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Coma comma drama come on
Draw it scratch it say it
Say it make it to the bottom
Ladder climb it drop an
Apple off the top it stop it
I don't want to eat it
Need it know it force it
Feed it leave it be it
Just keep it in its box
[Pre-Chorus]
Oh, oh, oh
Oh, oh, oh, oh
[Chorus]
What easy used to be
What love used to be
What drugs used to be
What TV used to be
What music used to be
What luck used to be
What art used to be
What you used to be
[Post-Chorus]
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
[Verse 2]
Coma comma drama come on
Drawl your skin your
Mile longer love song
Sure it tells the future
Fingers crushed and
Run em' under water shark
Infested sea of secrets
In the open fire beat it
Broke it don't believe it
Just keep it in it's box
[Chorus]
What easy used to be
What fun used to be
What dreaming used to be
What fame used to be
What the city used to be
What fast used to be
What low used to be
What New York used to be
What New York used to be
What New York used to be
What New York used to be
What New York used to be
[Post-Chorus]
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
Goodnight Bad Morning Lyrics
[Verse]
The speed's working, I see it in everyone
Like a lost idea under light bulb sun
Your eyes are ready for take off
Melt in your head
What a beautiful state we are in
The jailors in my mind are all dead
I love you so much
Never forget
All of your secret
Are coming undone
What a beautiful state we are in
[Chorus]
Goodnight another bad morning
Goodnight another bad morning
Goodnight another bad morning
Goodnight another bad morning
Goodnight (another bad)
Goodnight (another bad)
Goodnight (another bad)
Goodnight another bad morning
