first aid kit lyrics
This is my head exploding
I've been trying to shape up
Shape up and raise a hell
But it's so hard to wake up
'Cause baby, I ain't well
This is my head exploding from the weight of the thoughts inside
These are my thougths escaping through the ventilation-shaft
Though my words weight a ton they can hardly ever come out right
This is an emergency call 'cause my head explodes tonight
I'm trying to shout
But no sound comes out
This is my voice singing off
I'm trying to shout
But no sound comes out
This is my heart singing off
I've been trying to catch up
Catch up with the fuzz
But it's so hard to wake up
And even catch the buss
Well this is my concentration leaking out into the drain
These are my lungs breaking down from too many cigarettes
And though my words could save the worlds, they never come out right
This is an emergency call 'cause I haven't seen the light
Only cowards need help to get by
Only cowards need friends to survive
we might fall apart
There's something strange about the way the tap-water tastes
Making speeches for the walls gets harder with every phrase
I woke up and everyone had gone
I woke up when the sun was setting
I woke up and you were gone away
On any given day
We might fall apart (we might fall apart)
On any minute now
We might fall apart (just like a house of cards)
There's something strange about the way the horizon glows
We'll lie down on the road and the cars drive inches from our toes
I woke up and everyone had gone
I woke up when the sun was setting
I woke up and you were gone away
Maybe it's the chloroform kicking in, the chloroform is kicking in
Or maybe we've given in
On any given day
We might fall apart (we might fall apart)
On any minute now
We might fall apart (just like house of cards)
drop dead, casanova
I can not sleep,
While you hide in the skins of saints and virgins
Cunningly, you've again betrayed us all
Oh I know, my time is wasted by this hatred
Oh I know, this grudge will suck me dry
But maybe you'll come and put me out of my misery
One graceful day you'll set me free
Won't you drop dead?
You won't fool me with your same old lies
Won't you drop dead?
'Cause I have seen what's behind those eyes
Oh Casanova
Won't you drop dead?
Oh Casanova
I can not wait
For you people to bring down your statuses
Liberate me and please come clean
But maybe you'll come and put me out of my misery
One graceful day you'll set me free
You've again betrayed us all
Now you're bound to fall
But maybe I'll come and put you out of your misery
One graceful day I'll set you free
human cannonball
Spitting teeth you know you've won
Just another punch and you'll be detonated
You never learned to back up and run
Just another push and you'll be disclocated
Mastering the art of self-deceit
Planting the apple seeds
For you we own this song
The saddest of them all
My own Human Cannonball
For you we own this song
The saddest of them all
My own Human Cannonball
Blessed are the silent and the meek
Another sound and they will knock you over
Don't ever show that you are weak
Just another round do they don't know you're broken
With the rope around your neck
You're dancing through the air
With the ropes around your feet
As proud as you could ever be
eyes of a ghost
Dead beat, shoving stuff into our shopping carts
But we don't know the credit-card's corner's cut
Empty pockets down the same drain the paper-bills originally came from
Save me from basements and rooftops
Help me; I was buried under parking lots
Take a look into my eyes now
Take a look into the eyes of a ghost
Reach out for my hands now
Reach out for the hands of a ghost
Dead meat, we're a shareholder's dream of little babies with price tags on their foreheads
Gently hold my wrist and feel my pulse slowly fading into background music
Save me from basements and rooftops
Help me; I was buried under parking lots
Take a look into my eyes now
Take a look int the eyes of a ghost
Reach out for my hands now
Reach out for the hands of a ghost
Slept on the sidewalk
I've never felt so cold
Slept on the sidewalk
You just walked through my soul
And I'll come back for what I've left
To payback a lifetime theft
And I'll come back for what is mine
'Cause this life was just one out of nine
Take a look into my eyes now
Take a look into the eyes of a ghost
Reach out for my hands now
Reach out for the hands of a ghost
The eyes of a ghost
And I'll come back for what is mine
'Cause this life was just one out of nine
black euro
We need a screaming headline
We need a hook for the storyline, Honey
I never thought it could be so wrong
But I was young and I needed the money
I didn't recognize you with your clothes on
Honey, put your clothes on
1,2,3,4
Can you hear the seductive sirens?
Oo-oo-oo-oo-oo-oo-oo
Can you head the atonal anthem?
Oo-oo-oo-oo-oo-oo-oo
Turn up your radio
Hear the call of black euro
Can you hear the atonal anthem?
Oo-oo-oo-oo-oo-oo-oo
They're sketching a monster
In the back of the limousine
Another cross for us to bear
Light it up with kerosene
I didn't recognize you with your mask off
Oh, take your mask off
1,2,3,4
Oh holy labour, hold me close
You give me everything
I'm on my knees every time I hear your voice
You give me everything
Everything
first aid kit
Here I lay in a crashed car
No-one knows when I've left
Here I lay, staring at stars
But I know their just satellites
The first aid kit
It's useless
It's too late
It offers no help
I heard the sound of the sirens
Long gone in the distance a sweet sonnet
And I have seen no guardian angels
Well, I have my doubts if they even care
Take me to the hospital
Drive fast 'cause I am bleeding
Take me to the hospital
Drive fast 'cause I am bleeding
Snow falls through the windshield
I guess this time my fate is sealed
Here I'll lay forever
They'll find me under the autumn leaves
fresh new blood
A time to raid
A time to conquer
The bussess without passengers
Push it in
Pin-cushion queen
Bleed red like no-one's ever seen
Now give it every single drop
This one goes for the fresh new blood, yeah
This one's not for the faint at heart, yeah
Another day, another new found lost soul
Another da, the fresh new blood still runs strong
Steer the wheel blindfolded
Following the compass nail
This road goes where you want it to go
This is the time you're in control
Now give it everything you've got
Sew up the seams
Stitches made with stable hands
Hold up and let you sleep
Sew up the seams
Stitches made with shaky hands
Hold up until they bleed
A time to raid
A time to conquer
The trains without passengers
Push it in
Pin-cushion queen
Bleed red like no-one's ever seen
Give it everything you've got
Give it every single drop
see if i care
I forgot to call
The matches need to dry
We need batteries for flashlights
We're waiting by the phone
Sharpening the knives
Make sure you lit the fuse right
Don't wait up, don't waste your time
Don't hold up on a dead phone line
Just make sure you lit the fuse right
Blow up the worlds
See if I care
Leave us to burn
See if I case
Blow up the world, leave us to burn
Make it a mess, I couldn't care less
Blow up the world
See if I care I forgot to say
The world might end today
We can go and kick the streetlights
I'm all out of faith
A reason to sleep late
Make sure you lit the fuse right
Don't wait up, don't waste your breath
Don't make up, there's time left
Just make sure you lit the fuse right
Don't waste the wine
When the spartks turn into flames
We all be passed out
We pass out
Don't waste your time
When the coffin'f sealed with nails
We'll all be passed out
We pass out
We pass out
so long, sisters
I want to take you to my hotel-room
And show you my collectin of stolen silver-spoons
I want explosions every single day
Just give me a minute and I'll be already on my way
I'm going to shake the dust off my shoes
I'm going to shake off the dust of this town
So long, my sisters
We'll never see again
We'll never kiss again
So long, my brothers
We'll never see again
We'll never meet again
I want to shove you into my suitcase
Put you in to the back of my car with no license plates
I want to take you where the wind only goes
Say goodbye to the strangling ties and cardboard sould
I'm going to shake the dust off my shoes
I'm going to shake off the dust of this town
So long, my sisters
We'll never see again
We'll never kiss again
So long, my brothers
We'll never see again
We'll never meet again
So long, my sisters, So long, my brothers
Au revoir, all sons and daughters
Ao long, my sisters, so long, my brothers
Au revoir, all sons and daughters
We are going to shake the dust off our shoes
We're going to shake off the dust of this town
you are the dawn
They took our bodies
Now we gave our souls
They bought our minds
And now we're broke
The air makes my skin turn pale
But I can feel you on the Richter-scale
The revolution
Well it makes me yawn
There's only the darkness
When you are gone
Don't ever go
You'll have to promise me
You're the only thing that's ever meant
Something for me
Don't ever go
You are the dawn for me
I'm a mess but at least I'm yours to keep
You are the dawn
The economists
Rant and drool
But all fortune
I really need is you
The dress codes
Really make me yawn
There's only the darkness
When you are gone
The city always sleeps
Light has abandoned
These pitch black streets
The city always sleeps
You have abandoned
These pitch black streets
sleep on the wheel
Just one more round
And we're out of this place
Wish us the best of luck
We'll leave without a trace
There's a saying:
Dead or alive
I heard them saying:
Dead or alive
And then I nearly slept on the wheel
But you love kept me awake
And then I nearly blew all away
But your love kept me sane
