Elsa

I broke your window
Wore light blue felt-lined gloves
Everything looks brighter when you’re older, yeah
I know my rider, he thinks he can

Trade the work but keep the same
Even when the light won’t change
You can ride by yourself
You can ride by yourself

I broke your window
Left my right glove on the porch
Everything looks brighter when you’re older, yeah
I know my rider, he thinks he can

Trade the work but keep the same
Even when the light won’t change
You can ride by yourself
You can ride by yourself

The moon is out and it’s warm tonight
I’ll steal a car and wait outside
I could be happy if you’d come with me
Just came for the ride
Really felt good and tight
Before you go can I say don’t leave
Please, leave, please

I broke your window
Wore felt-lined gloves
Everything looks brighter when you’re older, yeah
I know my rider, he thinks he can
Change dark her world
La, na, na, na, na, na, na

It will be hard to find
In the corner of our show
From a tempo turned up to ten
I caught a dragonfly with the side of my hand
It turned into my very best friend

I’ll go from town to town
Bought a place for you, my best girlfriend
Take them out, build new memories
Come on, climb down the tree
I don’t want you to die

I’m thinking of a sign
Between here and Bristol
Read it like a letter from the bride
And I can hardly stand the sound of asking
Even if you thought you aren’t, I might

I’ll go from town to town
On a pace to leave, my best girlfriend
Take her out, build new memories
Come on, climb down the tree
I don’t want you to die

(?)

It will be hard to find
In the field of our show
From the (?) up to (?)
A falling kettle drum, flung off the rooftop
‘Cause you just liked the sound it made

You don’t feel right
I don’t feel right

Timber

Late last week I saw your old girlfriend
Made fun of the fact she’s on the pill again
Walked her home but then I couldn’t go in

A wavy shape to that tail, but I’m not on the trail
Admit it, I didn’t know how

(?) now a snap of you Paul
Wound it up and pitched it through the wall
The (?) with meth made me freak out and dump them all

(?) the screw top hair that gets me almost there
(?), I’m your fan club now

Finding out you need to find, dash in
We’ll go somewhere the beat will never end
You’re welcome up but I can’t be your friend
Yeah, we’re halfway there but you don’t probably care
(?), I’m your fan club now

Hymn

Popped by your crib
Came by to kick back and had mail to send
Heard you in the basement
Mixing up the sounds trying to make them blend

Be on the corner
We’ll beat box and popgun blow off everything
Clock the almighty dollar
Get take out, go home and watch TV

I’ll be over

I cannot ignore
The jungle out there to explore
Then blow my mind across the floor
Carrying freedom through a store front you call a door

Unrest is worth more
We can take the horsemen lying down
Kind of you to buy me blue Vans
A shame I wanted brown

I’ll trade you 40’s
A swig of yours for all of mine
Dig your Pumas
The ones that lace up ankle high

I’ll be over

I cannot ignore
The jungle out there to explore
Then blow my mind across the floor
Carrying freedom through a store front you call a door
