Safe And Sound lyrics - Capital Cities

I could lift you up

I could show you what you wanna see

And take you where you wanna be

You could be my luck

Even if the sky is falling down

I know that we'll be safe and sound

We're safe and sound

I could fill your cup

You know my river won't evaporate

This world we still appreciate

You could be my luck

Even in a hurricane of frowns

I know that we'll be safe and sound

Safe and sound

We're safe and sound

Safe and sound

We're safe and sound

Hold your ground

We're safe and sound

Safe and sound

I could show you love

In a tidal wave of mystery

You'll still be standing next to me

You could be my luck

Even if we're six feet underground

I know that we'll be safe and sound

We're safe and sound

Safe and sound

Safe and sound

Hold your ground

Safe and sound

I could lift you up

I could show you what you wanna see

And take you where you wanna be

You could be my luck

Even if the sky is falling down

I know that we'll be safe and sound

I could lift you up

I could show you what you wanna see

And take you where you wanna be

You could be my luck

Even if the sky is falling down

I know that we'll be safe and sound

We're safe and sound

We're safe and sound

We're safe and sound

We're safe and sound

Safe and sound

We're safe and sound

Safe and sound

We're safe and sound

Hold your ground

We're safe and sound

Safe and sound

We're safe and sound

Patience Gets Us Nowhere Fast lyrics - Capital Cities

I want it all and nothing less

I want it all, I want the best for you

I'm telling you the truth

You are the one that makes it real

Even the sunlight doesn't feel this good

Whoever said it could?

Patience

Patience gets us nowhere fast

[x2]

I want it all and nothing less

I want it all, I want the best for us

I'm telling you to trust

The world you see is on our side

Take a chance and take a ride with me

From sea to shining sea

Patience

Patience gets us nowhere fast

[x2]

I don't want my patience to last

Follow me, follow me somewhere

Follow me, follow me somewhere

Follow me, follow me somewhere out there

[x2]

I want it all and nothing less

I want it all, I want the best for you

I'm telling you the truth

You are the kiss I don't expect

Remind me never to forget my youth

I'll leave it up to you

Patience

Patience gets us nowhere fast

[x4]

Kangaroo Court lyrics - Capital Cities

There’s a dark part of town

Where the girls kick down

And I cannot wait for a chance to go

Wait for a chance to go

I’ve got my bad luck shoes and every excuse

To dance these blues away

Ain’t coming home

I ain’t coming home

Shut up, shut up, shut up

Sit up, sit up, sit up

It’s a kangaroo court

A kangaroo court

Shut up, shut up, shut up

Sit up, sit up, sit up

It’s a kangaroo court

A kangaroo court

In a dusty room I come to assume

That I’ve been doomed

To lose my mind tonight

To weak to fight

So I try to save face and I rest my case

The judge pulls me aside, says, “C’est la vie

Let your darker side come out to feed”

Shut up, shut up, shut up

Sit up, sit up, sit up

It’s a kangaroo court

A kangaroo court

Shut up, shut up, shut up

Sit up, sit up, sit up

It’s a kangaroo court

A kangaroo court

“All right

I can’t do sexy”

I commit the crime of wasting time

Always trying to rhyme

Yes, I am guilty

But don’t misunderstand me

I admit defeat then I move my feet

My history will never be repeated

I won’t ever be repeated

Shut up, shut up, shut up

Sit up, sit up, sit up

It’s a kangaroo court

A kangaroo court

Shut up, shut up, shut up

Sit up, sit up, sit up

It’s a kangaroo court

A kangaroo court

Shut up, shut up, shut up

Sit up, sit up, sit up

It’s a kangaroo court

A kangaroo court

Shut up, shut up, shut up

Sit up, sit up, sit up

It’s a kangaroo court

A kangaroo court

I Sold My Bed, But Not My Stereo

Black is my favorite color

Makes me feel like we know each other

Blank tapes and posters on the door

Listen to my Pink Floyd cover

Take a seat like a backbeat lover

Mixed tapes and cushions on the floor

I sold my bed, but not my stereo

I sold my bed, but not my stereo

Paper bags and escalators

Pushing up those broken faders

Only way to find out who you are

In a town of ones and zeros

You are one magnetic hero

Little things will always get you far

I sold my bed, but not my stereo

I sold my bed, but not my stereo

I sold my bed, but not my stereo

I sold my bed, but not my stereo

Black is my favorite color

Makes me feel like we know each other

In a town of ones and zeros

You are one magnetic hero

I sold my bed, but not my stereo

I sold my bed, but not my stereo

I sold my bed, but not my stereo

I sold my bed, but not my stereo

Center Stage lyric s- Capital Cities

There's a good time to do it on your own

There's a good time, now it's time to go

There's a good time, to do it for a change

There's a good time, step out from the cage

Everyday I walk away with the feeling that I'm center stage

There's a good time

There's a good time

Everyday I walk away with the feeling that I'm center stage

There's a good time

There's a good time

There's a good time to do it on your own

There's a good time, now it's time to go

There's a good time, to do it for a change

There's a good time, step out from the cage

Everyday I walk away with the feeling that I'm center stage

There's a good time (there's a good time)

There's a good time (there's a good time)

Everyday I walk away with the feeling that I'm center stage

There's a good time (there's a good time)

There's a good time (there's a good time)

On a mission, on a mission

Gonna get it right

Don't think about it

I don't think about it

On a mission, on a mission

Gonna get it right

Don't think about it

Think about, think about it

On a mission, on a mission

Gonna get it right

Don't think about it

I don't think about it

On a mission, on a mission

Gonna get it right

Don't think about it

Think about, think about it

Everyday I walk away

(There's a good time, there's a good time)

Everyday I walk away

(There's a good time, there's a good time)

Everyday I walk away

Everyday I walk away with the feeling that I'm center stage

There's a good time

There's a good time

Everyday I walk away with the feeling that I'm center stage

There's a good time

There's a good time

Farrah Fawcett Hair lyrics - Capital Cities (feat. Andre 3000)

[Frank Tavares]

Support for Capital Cities comes from...

Lazy Hooks

(I like it when you play with my hair) [x2]

National Public Radio

Back to the Future 2

Daniel Day Lewis

Sunsets

[Hook]

You know it when you see it

You know it when it's there

Like Michael Jackson Thriller

Like Farrah Fawcett Hair

It's good shit

My voice

While listening to Bitches Brew as recorded by Miles Davis

Andre 3000

[Andre 3000]

Full length mirrors and her hair in a bun

Kids with big glasses that laugh when they run

Girls with old-school names like Ruby May

How infants with baby breath, yawn in your face (oh yeah)

You'll be tucked in every night for a month

By all of the American Apparel ad girls

American... American Apparel, and ad girls

You know what I mean?

I like it when you're under the ocean and all you can feel is calm

I like it when I'm sleeping

I like it when I'm listening to music because that's the only thing that takes me to another world

I like it when public bathrooms have scented candles

I like it when you talk to me like that

I like it when my hair is fluffy

I like it when it rains at night and I'm curled up in bed with a good book

I like it when I turn my head around and I catch you looking back

[Hook]

You know it when you see it

You know it when it's there

Like Michael Jackson Thriller

Like Farrah Fawcett Hair

It's good shit (I like it when you play with my hair)

It's good shit (I like it when you play with my hair)

It's good shit (I like it when you play with my hair)

Oh yeah

(I like it when you play with my hair)

You know it when you see it

You know it when it's there

Like Michael Jackson Thriller

Like Farrah Fawcett Hair

It's good shit

It's good shit (Oh, it's good shit baby)

It's good shit

Oh yeah

(That's not right)

Chartreuse lyrics - Capital Cities

We painted our faces

we were at resting place in from the light

I must admit on that resting site

we looked alright

But now it's just traces

As we fade in black and white

We put make up on with no light

We're too uptight

[Chorus x2:]

Color me this way

Color me that way

Color me inside out

Color me upside down

To show my true colors

I must first be exposed to the light

I transverse in secondly fight

With all my might

I've blown my cover

in plain view I'm as plain as you

But you can't deny my hues

Red blue chartruese

[Chorus x2:]

Color me this way

Color me that way

Color me inside out

Color me upside down

[Chorus x2:]

Color me this way

Color me that way

Color me inside out

Color me upside down

Origami lyrics - Capital Cities

Origami (or or or ori o or i ga mi)

Origami (or or or ori o or i)

You got a head full of paper, but baby nothing like origami

Shredded thoughts and make up won't make up for the missing piece of mind

I saw you look in the mirror, the scenery was suddenly boring

It's the end of an era

Forever is just a state of mind

You're last of your kind

I stole your diamonds and gold

what are you going to do

I stole your diamonds and gold

what are you going to do about it (do about it)

You were blessed with precision so I took you to the beaches of Bali

It wasn't fate but decision, luck was choosing sides

Flip the page to a silver age

Life has treated you kindly

The price you pay is your vision

Collision is highly likely

I stole your diamonds and gold

what are you going to do

I stole your diamonds and gold

what are you going to do about it (do about it)

I stole your diamonds and gold

what are you going to do

I stole your diamonds and gold

what are you going to do about it (do about it)

Origami

Origami

Origami

Origami

I stole your diamonds and gold

what are you going to do

(origami)

I stole your diamonds and gold

what are you going to do about it (do about it)

I stole your diamonds and gold

what are you going to do

(Origami)

I stole your diamonds and gold

what are you going to do about it (do about it)

Lazy Lies lyrics - Capital Cities

Sick and tired, and you wanna see a change

But you don't wanna change for me

Be so kind to explain whats on your mind

Your the riddle of the century

I'm afraid there was a lion lying in the shade

On a hammock, hanging from my tree

Lazy lies today (lazy lies today)

Lazy lies today (lazy lies today)

Tomorrow you might change

But it's lazy lies today (lazy lies today)

Lazy lies today (lazy lies today)

Tomorrow you might change

But lazy lies today

Please explain what you think there is to gain

When you treat me like a magazine

Just a picture, I'm a temporary fixture

Like a moment in your make believe

My prediction, strange as fiction

I'll get over this addiction too

Lazy lies today (lazy lies today)

Lazy lies today (lazy lies today)

Tomorrow you might change

But it's lazy lies today (lazy lies today)

Lazy lies today (lazy lies today)

Lazy lies today (lazy lies today)

Tomorrow you might change

But it's lazy lies today

(Lazy lies today, lazy lies today)

(Lazy lies today, lazy lies today)

(Lazy lies today, lazy lies today)

(Lazy lies today, lazy lies today)

Tell Me How To Live lyrics - Capital Cities

The grass is greener [x2]

Been a good man

Been a good man all my life

Can’t stand the feeling, 

I’ve been so hypnotized

[x2]

Ain’t nobody tell me how to live

[x4]

The grass is greener, greener on my side

You know you love the feeling

I’ve come to hypnotize

[x2]

Ain’t nobody tell me how to live

[x4]

Been a good man

[x2]

I’ve come to

I’ve come to hypnotize

Ain’t nobody tell me how to live

[x4]

Chasing You lyrics - Capital Cities (feat. Soseh)

Broken down on the side of the road

It'd be nice if you could help me out

I drove for miles to the place I was told

I could find you in the shadow of doubt

But you weren't there

(I was there)

You weren't there

(I was there)

Chasing you

It's the only thing I want to do

But now I'm facing you

What the hell am I supposed to do

Is it foolish to follow the rules 

when everybody's following you

You gave directions that make no sense 

and now I'm fucking stuck in a loop

But you're not there

I was there

You're not there

I was there

Chasing you

It's the only thing I want to do

But now I'm facing you

What the hell am I supposed to do

You must think I'm a mannequin

Because I only come alive in my Sunday best

But somehow I'm on the run again

So you probably shouldn't hold your breath

Don't train yourself to be a fool

I only want to stick around if you pass the test

Don't cross the line

Stop chasing time

Cause in time you'll find that I-I-I'm just

Chasing you

Chasing you

Chasing you

It's the only thing I want to do

But now I'm facing you

What the hell am I supposed to do

I'm

Chasing you

It's the only thing I want to do

But now I'm facing you

What the hell am I supposed to do

Chasing you

Chasing you

Love Away lyrics - Capital Cities

Love, just love away

Just do it everyday

Just do it every way

Love, just love away

Just do it everyday

Just do it every way

All my friends, they pretend

The end is just around the bend

But since you came along

I'm not believin' it

Sunshine, destiny

The birds and bees and centipedes

Until you came along

I never needed it

Love, just love away

Just do it everyday

Just do it every way

Love, just love away

Just do it everyday

Just do it every way

Money, power, a man of means

Chasing down irrational dreams

But when you came along

I was freed of it

Throw your TV out the door

One, two, three, four, on the floor!

And if you sing a song

You'll believe in it

Love, just love away

Just do it everyday

Just do it every way

Love, just love away

Just do it everyday

Just do it every way

Love, just love away

Just do it everyday

Just do it every way

Love, just love away

Just do it everyday

Just do it every way

Love, just love away

Just do it everyday

Just do it every way

Love, just love away

Just do it everyday

Just do it every way
