Destroyer - Foolssong Lyrics

  Foolssong Lyri cs And with what shall I fix The hole in the bucket, dear Liza Where the honeyed diamonds of the light leaving your eyes were? Shall I cancel the play? What, three showings a day? It was shitty, we couldn't stay longer Beneath the bridge we kissed I was busy eating my own wrist for that… I walked into the room and was made sick by the room I painted a painting known as A Girl And Her Broom Its figures all lit up - Nagasaki, At Night, At War With The Devil! It ain't easy being a baby like you! And it ain't easy being a baby like me University hill

Destroyer - The Man In Black's Blues Lyrics

  The Man In Black's Blues Lyrics When you're looking for nothing And you find nothing And nothing Turns out as planned When you're looking for something In the palm of your hand It disappears Before your very eyes When you're looking for nothing And you find Nothing Is more beautiful Than anything you ever knew When you're looking for something That you know is through It's like it flies away Before your very eyes Knock knock Did you say who you come for? Knock knock Did you say who you come for Cue synthesizer The Rave n

Destroyer - University Hill Lyrics

University Hill Lyrics And when they come To round us up To gather us up Shadow and air I'll think of you Standing there Lovely in the light And when they come To bag us up To make the world Invisible Oh man it already is… Pretty as a picture… But "pretty as a picture" is "halfway there." A fortress of solitude's no contest when you stare at oblivion The game is rigged in every direction You play to win not a goddamn thing You climb the walls, you're made of string You climb the walls, you're made of string You climb the walls, you're made of string! And "pretty as a picture" means "halfway there. Your fortress of solitude's no contest when you're staring at oblivion! So when they come To hack us up Arms, legs, mouth, eyes Used to be so nice Used to be such a thrill… Come on, University Hill The Raven Cue synthisezer

Destroyer - Cue Synthesizer Lyrics

  Cue Synthesizer Lyrics Did you realize it was hollow? Like everything that's come before, you are gone The idiot's dissonant roar That exquisite gong struck dumb Cue synthesizer Cue guitar Bring in the drums Cue fake drum The idea of the world is no good And the terrain is no good The sea's blasted poem A twinkle in the guitar player's eye Cue synthesizer Cue guitar Cue synthesizer Wherever you are Open-door policy on not a goddamn thing at night Death threat scrawled in invisible ink's alright Been to America, been to Europe, it's the same shit Went to America, went to Europe, it's all the same shit I look around the room, I see a room of pit ponies Drowning forever in a sea of love I look around the room, we are a room of pit ponies Drowning forever in a sea of love Wherever you are Wherever you are Wherever you are Cue synthesizer Cue synthesizer Cue synthesizer Wherever you are Cue synthesizer Wherever you are Cue synt...

Destroyer - The Raven lyrics

  The Raven Lyrics Just look at the world around you… Actually, no, don't look! Just look at the world around you Actually, no, don't look But if you only knew how I cry foul every hour Of every day Well I hope you've enjoyed your stay Here in the City of the Dying Embers The petite Terror Train that thought that it could We throw the game and oh how it feels so good To be drunk on the field again To be drunk on the field… Again… Come out, come out, wherever you are! But you don't, the dead don't come out The dead twist and shout in an invisible world The Grand Ole Opry of Death is breathless Breathless Breathless Breathless Breathless What do you do with it? For whom have you been saving? What do you do with it? For whom have you been saving? Oh yes you've been good to me in your way… That's what I'll write about when I write about The Raven Crimson tide Kinda dark It just doesn't happen

Destroyer - The Television Music Supervisor Lyrics

  The Television Music Supervisor The Television Music Supervisor said "I can't believe what I've done. I can't believe that I said what I said." The Television Music Supervisor said "I can't believe what I've done. I can't believe that I said what I said." 'Clickety click click' The music makes a musical sound… Measured in echoes… By famous novelist brothers Shithead No. 1 and Shithead No. 2 The Television Music Supervisor said "I can't believe what I've done. I can't believe… I can't believe Crimson tide Kinda dark It just doesn't happen

Destroyer - It Just Doesn't Happen Lyrics

  It Just Doesn't Happen Lyrics You're looking good In spite of the light And the air And the time of the night They play your favourite song "She's Just Too Dark To Care" "High Water Everywhere" "Smoke Gets In Your Eyes" You throw yourself down on the playground Skid to a halt on the runway You cast a poisonous look to the sun You know it just doesn't happen to anyone You know this doesn't just happen to anyone I find The silence unbearable What does that say about the silence? Versus the violin And the moonlight And the moonshine And your empty pen? With its ridiculous paper You throw yourself down on the playground Skid to a halt on the runway You cast a poisonous look to the sun You know it doesn't just happen to anyone You know this just doesn't happen to anyone You're looking good In spite of the light And the air And the time of the night They play your favourite song "It's Jus...

Destroyer - Kinda dark Lyrics

  " Kinda Dark" You wandered in there, you wanted it in there You wanted it in there, every night you took the air Gasping for anything - there sits The Boston Strangler Calling all cars! The palace has a moss problem It glows in the dawn light Goes wherever you go, sewn into your hem It's me versus them First us versus not a goddamn thing Then The Blind Bitch versus The Clucking Hen In a ring, around the razor's edge "Kinda dark in here," she says "Kinda dark in here," she says "Kinda dark in here," she says "Kinda dark in here," she says Crimson Tide

Destroyer- Crimson Tide Lyrics

  "Crimson Tide" I was like the laziest river, A vulture predisposed to eating off floors. No wait, I take that back, I was more like an ocean Stuck inside hospital corridors. My condition, in general, Despite what they say, improves. So I could care less, on a night like this, I'm on the lookout for anything that moves. Crimson Tide! I know when to hold em. And I know when to leave. I know where to go, And I know how to breathe. I know how you blow Bubbles… You can look at the world Till you don't know what you've done. You can follow a salary To the bottom of the ocean. Is that yours? Throw it in the pot. I thought I was smart, I'm not. I thought I was sick and dying… Chickenshit singers paying their dues. A circus mongrel sniffing for clues. You watch the blonde make mincemeat of the brunette. An actress pays her debt To Satan again and again… I say it, I don't know, just cause. A child coos sweet nothings to a box of fuzz....
