The Kills

Easy, alphabet pony
Uh easy, alphabet pony

Funny monkey
Tore money loose in soda hands
Pink plastic Jesus on the dashboard
Just say it

Easy, alphabet pony
Uh easy, alphabet pony

No fun, I have
We got no money
Need a friend, a volcano dish
On a mountain top to live it

Easy, alphabet pony
Uh easy, alphabet pony
Easy, alphabet pony
Uh easy, alphabet pony

I cancel Sunday, cancel Monday
Don't look at me
I've been running on a note tomorrow
Roadie great speed

Na, na, na, need a punch
A pop a bang, a different song
Like a nice new pope
[Incomprehensible] needs a mean straight dog

Yeah
Easy, alphabet pony
Uh easy, alphabet pony
Easy, alphabet pony
Easy, alphabet pony

Uh, we go up down
Up down, up down, telling you
We like the walk and the talk, don't stop
And fall into the quicksand

Sharp teeth, dry heat
Can't breach too many sins
And don't forget my cigarettes
And get something that we can drink

Easy, alphabet pony
Uh easy, alphabet pony
Easy, alphabet pony
Easy, alphabet pony

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

And farewell, my black balloon
Farewell, my black balloon

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?

Farewell, my black balloon
Farewell, my black balloon
(The weather had it's way with you)

Farewell, my black balloon
(If the weather had it's way with you)
Farewell, my black balloon

Farewell, my black balloon
Farewell, my black balloon
(If the weather had it's way with you)

Farewell, my black balloon
(If the weather had it's way with you)
Farewell, my black balloon
(If the weather had it's way with you)

Farewell, my black balloon
(If the weather had it's way with you)
Farewell, my black balloon

> I'm bored of cheap and cheerful
I want expensive sadness
Hospital bills, parole
Open doors to madness
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'm sick of social crazes
Show your sharp tipped teeth
Lose your cool in public
Did the legal meet
'Cause love is just a dialogue
You can't survive on ice-cream
You got to see me dancing dog
It's alright (it's alright)
To be mean (to be mean)
It's alright (it's alright)
To be mean (to be mean)
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
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)
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

What's going on fire
I want you to know
My spirit's alive
I want you to know

I'm getting down
With the awkward moments
I'm getting down with the sour kiss

I'm getting down with the rumors
In the back of the car
I'm getting down with it

Single when you get to the top
Single when you want it
When you want to stop

We could, we could crash
We could, we could, bum, bum
We could take it, we could
We could take it, take it in tons

Getting down
Getting down with your new vocation
Getting down with your cute cut wrists

I'm getting down with the kisses
And grow stitches on it
I'm getting down with it

Here's a message
From my old coat pocket
My spirit's alive
I want you to know

I'm getting down with the young drunk lovers
I'm getting down with the one way pack
I'm getting down with the city and the pity of it
I'm getting down with it

Steam's working, I see it in everyone
Like a lost idea under a light bulb sun
Your eyes, ready for takeoff, melt in your head
What a beautiful state we're in

Jailers in my mind are all dead
I love you so much, never forget
Our love, our secrets, coming undone
What a beautiful state we're in

Goodnight, another bad morning
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

> With your hook and line i still blow away
with your hook and line i still blow away
with your hook and line i'm still blown away
with your hook and line i still blow away
try your best in your heavy shade
to keep it quiet, keep it cool
lipstick letters and souvenirs
make a mockery of your fears
with your hook and line i still blow away
with your hook and line i still blow away
with your hook and line i'm still blown away
with your hook and line i still blow away
try your best to make it matter
tattoo it in the clouds above you
nail it down with jealous bones
till it goes like a feather
off on it's own
with your hook and line i still blow away
with your hook and line i still blow away
with your hook and line i'm still blown away
with your hook and line i still blow away
a pawn
a shove
an eerie love
a whip
a crack
you won't come back
with your hook and line i still blow away
with your hook and line i still blow away
with your hook and line i'm still blown away
with your hook and line i still blow away
with your hook and line i still blow away
with your hook and line i still blow away
with your hook and line i'm still blown away
with your hook and line i still blow away

We're two parties, two parties ending
What if you move? What if you hide?
There's only so much you can miss
Before we both collide

A little tornado, a little hurricane roar
Last day of magic, where are you?
A little tornado, a little hurricane roar

We're two parties, two parties ending
I'll be the man with the broom
If you'll be the dust of the room
And there's only so much you can hide
Before I corner you

Last day of magic, where are you?
A little tornado, a little hurricane roar

Last day of magic
Coming through the eye of the storm
And I hold on to
A little tornado, a little hurricane roar

I'll be the man with the broom
If you'll be the dust of the room
And there's only so much you can hide
Before I corner you

Last day of magic put the whole ride through
The eye of the storm in a single room
A little tornado, a little hurricane roar

Cavalry come, cavalry go
Cavalry leave me alone
A little serenader
My little cup of cane roar

Last day of magic, where are you?
A little tornado, a little hurricane roar

> Running into trouble
running into trouble
you got heavenly eyes
a thousand highs
always on a mission
it's not lovin'
it's not kissin'
it's the heavenly ride
you still got wheels, kid.
if i go missing
don't you worry for me
i'm just writing
my side of the story
just like jackie
i'm briting my lips
scoring my mind
with whatever i can find
i'm going down the coast
to M.E.X.I.C.O see you
i'm going down the coast
to M.E.X.I.C.O see you
i'm going down the coast
to M.E.X.I.C.O see you

Shout when you wanna get off the ride
Shout when you wanna get off the ride
Shout when you wanna get off the ride
Cause it crossed my mind
Crossed my mind
Make my blood thump 7-8-9
Make my heart beat double time

Now I’m the only sour cherry on the fruit stand right?
Am I the only sour sherry on the fruit stand
No, ooooo…..
Oh

I’m a penny in diamond mine,
We could be movers, oh
Oh, we could be shakers, oh
If we could just shake something out of the blue and get off the ride,

Now I’m the only sour cherry on the fruit stand right?
Am I the only sour sherry on the fruit stand
No, ooooo…..
Oh
