played war games in the woods with his indian friends,
and he had a dream, that when he grew up,
he would be a fierce warrior, indian chief.
Many moons passed, and more the dream grew stronger
til the morrow he would sing his fisrt war song,
and fight his first battle, but something went wrong,
suprise attack killed him in his sleep that nght.

I hate this street
Give dirt to me
I bite lament
This human form
Where I was born
I now repent
Caribou [3x]
Repent
Re-pe-ent
Give me white
Ground to run
And foregone
Lets me knife
Knife me lets
I will get
What I like
Caribou [3x]
Repent
Rep-pent

to the demi-monde, into the twilight zone
The times inside i've spent screaming at you
Release me please from this mortal gaol
One shrug or smile can determine my fate
I'm lost for days and have myself to blame
Something I'm giving, said is yours for the taking
Something like sunlight, love is a spotlight
Love is all sorrow, still I'll meet you tomorrow
And I look forward to seeing you
Still I can't live without you

I didnt mean it, it just happened
You wouldn't let me go to the phone,
You wanted to make love and I did not,
Now I know the distance between us.
Christ, we weren't even fighting I was just annoyed.
Silence.
You started to cry.
"That really hurt" you said
Yeah, and you thought you knew me!

but I shot a man in Reno just to watch him die...'
'All the love in an instant, makes my life stop. But then my hate for you makes my feelings altogether drop...'
'Every pop song on the radio is suddenly speaking to me,
yeah I know art imitates life, but life imitates tv'
'Do you see the way that tree bends? Does it inspire?
Leaner now to catch the suns ray. A lesson to be applied'
'I am your shadow in the dark, I have your blood inside my heart.'
'Every thousand years, this metal sphere,
Ten times the size of jupiter floats just a few yards past the Earth. You stand on your roof, and take a swipe at it,
with a single feather. Hit it once every thousand years...'
'There's a house on a lake...'
'You said I should get professional help, that always makes me cry, I know I'm just an amateur but I've gotta try, I've gotta try...'
'Fate, up against your will, through the thick and thin, you'll wait until, you give yourself to him'
'Just keep counting the stars like one day you'll find out,
just how many there are then we all can go home,
cos there's nothing as sad as a man on his back counting stars'
'I drug your ghost across the country and we plotted out my eath in every city in memories we whispered "Here is where you rest", I was determined in Chicago but I dug my teeth into my knee and I settled for a telephone, sang into your machine "you are my sunshine, my only sunshine..."'
'Now you're selling off the house so you can buy the farm, You cut the heart out from your chest to let the light in through your arm'
'I've always wanted more, anything I haven't got, everything I want it all, I just can't stop, planning all my days away but never finding ways to say I'll never feel enough today tomorrow must be more, drink more dreams more bed more drugs more lust more lies more head more love, fear more fun more pain more flesh more stars more smiles more fame more sex, but however hard I want I know deep down inside, I 'll never really get more hope, or any more time.'

Let me walk you home from school

Roll over and make my day

Now I'm not brave or proud or nothing, I just want,
to kill, something.
Too bad that nowadays you just point and click,
Swing low sattelite, hot white chariot,
In the computers blue glare pulse bursts in the air,
there was a city once but now nothings there.

That David played and it pleased the lord,
but you don't really care for music, do you?
And it goes like this, the fourth, the fifth,
the minor fall and the major lift,
The baffled king composing hallelujah...

Coheed and Cambria:
- Pull the trigger and the nightmare stops.
Bright Eyes (one of the best lyricists in my opinion):
- We have a problem with no solution except to love and be loved.
- Love is some kind of lottery, where you scratch and see what is underneath. It's 'Sorry', just one cherry, 'Play Again'. Get lucky.
- You write such pretty words. But life is no storybook. Love is an excuse to get hurt and to hurt.
"Do you like to hurt?"
"I do. I do"
"Then hurt me."

'I can take a world of pain in a stride,
and I don't need fairy tales to pretend,
and I don't need heroes to depend on.
I can heal, I can regenerate,
I can give birth and I can meditate
and I can hate, I can love, I can fuck
I can see the view below from the top'

I got my radio on
It's so exciting here with the skyscrapers
In the dark
I feel in touch with the modern world
I feel in touch I feel alive
With 50,000 watts of power
