Ra Ra Riot Album

Come on, force it down
I’m imagining
Come on, force it down
I’m imagining

Imaging a place where homes are built on frames
And where they plant new bulbs along our graves
With the fall each year
With the fall each year
Each year


And if you think you might
Yes, but if it’s not so bright
But if you’re a part of my
Whole life

Silhouettes in a window frame
Better run if it's Boo's old man
He won’t know if you’re white,
Oh, in the night

Coverin' a fault with
trials and coy displays
Coverin' a fault with
trials and coy displays

If it isn't worth the time to
Find out how we go
About recalling all the ways
And the reasons are for
With the fall each year
With the fall each year
Each year

And if you think you might
Yes, but if it’s not so bright
But if you’re a part of my
Whole life

Silhouettes in a window frame
Better run if it's Boo's old man
He won’t know if you’re white,
Oh, in the night

Vapor lamps in a parking light
You can’t see when it’s much too far
All that mist in your eyes
Oh, in the night

80 years isn't enough time
50 more isn't more enough
Oh
To right the wrongs
What you're hiding in your back yard
Is turning innocence to apathy
And accusations at another man
Oh
'Cause you don't have a prayer
To put your life into a Christian's hands
Never mind what your
Daughter is taught in school
What she remembers is
What she has learned from you

Silhouettes in a window frame
Better run if it's Boo's old man
He won’t know if you’re white,
Oh, in the night

Vapor lamps in a parking lot
You can’t see when it’s much too far
All that mist in your eyes
Oh, in the night

Haven't heard from you for days — what went wrong?
We waited for you in the dark
for much too long
Well, can't you see it in my face?
I like the way it's been
?

Whoa, whoa, I need to let you go
You never do it baby, you know I know
Whoa, whoa, I can't sleep anymore
It's true, I used to dream in black and blue

All this anger in my mind ?
Wondered all the time myself
"What could it be for?"
Well, tell me what you love, you loathe
and you can live without it
Or maybe we could fuck all night
and you'll forget about it

This time we know
I will be alone.
Ever wonder why
I don't even try

Whoa, whoa, I need to let you go
You never do it baby, you know I know
Whoa, whoa, I can't sleep anymore
It's true, I used to dream in black and blue

Whoa, whoa, I need to let you go
You never do it baby, you know I know
Whoa, whoa, I can't sleep anymore
It's true, I used to dream in black and blue

This time we know
I will be alone.
Ever wonder why
I don't even try

To settle our thoughts
Never minding what for
nothing of a harm to dread
On my mind
Tell me what belies
Tell me what I could have
Oh
Tell me what for

No more of this living dying
Just scientific analyzing
Forgive us oh life
The sin of

Death oh baby
You know that dying is fine but maybe
I wouldn't like death if death were good
Not even if death were good

Is this it
Maundering about and
All I have is too much time
To understand
One can only love
Life until its ending
Oh
And I can't forget

No more of this living dying
Just scientific analyzing
Forgive us oh life
The sin of

Death oh baby
You know that dying is fine but maybe
I wouldn't like death if death were good
Not even if death were good

Oh baby baby baby babe,
How long am I supposed to wait?
I think about you nightly
Oh, can you tell I'm losin' sleep?

Oh what am I supposed to do?
It's hard to stay cool.
Oh, when you smile at me
and I can notice every time you speak.

My bed's too big for just me
and when you turn your eyes,
I promise I won't care.

Oh baby baby baby babe
Oh baby baby baby please
My head sinks to my knees.
Oh baby baby don't you know
I think about you nightly?

My bed's too big for just me
and when you turn your eyes,
I promise I won't care.

Oh baby baby baby babe
I think about you nightly
I think about you nightly
Oh baby baby baby baby

Oh baby baby baby babe.
When I look in your eyes
I tend to lose my thoughts
Don't forget your stare
Or what was that you said?
Would you let me know?
'Cause I can't read your mind
But can you tell I can't even explain

Oh baby baby baby babe
I think about you nightly
I think about you nightly
Oh baby baby baby
I think about you nightly

Oh baby I can't even explain
How long am I supposed to wait?
I think about you nightly
Oh can you tell I'm losin' sleep?

Oh baby, what am I supposed to do?
It's hard to stay cool.
Oh when you smile at me
and I can notice every time you speak.

Oh baby baby baby babe
I think about you nightly
Oh baby baby baby babe

Baby oh touch me like you did in the summer when i woke up just to hear
Speakers made of tin cans piercing through my window like a cold breeze on my ear
Sittin on the stoop in the yard I looked so tired I can tell that its early you know
Oh its much to far to walkin all by myself.

(Chorus)What a manner to act
like a heart attack
because lookin back
you woulda worked it like this

9 o'clock is late for the sun
but the subways on the 7 block
to way and i'll be there soon
we're walking to the boulevard
it never seemed as bad
as any other time passing through
keep on lookin down at the pavement
with hope that there's no one
can hear your pocket full of keys

Oh them pain feel the skinless callous on my feet

(Chorus)What a manner to act
like a heart attack
because lookin back
you woulda worked it like this

What a manner to act
like a heart attack
because lookin back
you woulda worked it like this
i got these stiches in my eyes
and there are too many things
that feel like that you are talking about!

Uh OH ohhh (6x)

With every little thing
Your owner’s lookin back
At you it starts to mean
less than it ever did

Oh ever, on every inch of stone
Skin and bone.
Made to leave you

Here you are, you are breathing like little ghosts under rocks
That don’t sound in pockets
Folks found your problem
its lost and forgotten

Oh, oh, oh
You soak in one dream
You’ve spent there, you are gonna dream there

Right, now you ask your baby
“why? why? why?”

Forget the the frequent flyers
Leading an honored life
To give us this much more
Safe from a cut and cheer

On ever, on every inch of stone
Skin and bone.
Made to leave you

Here you are, you are breathing like little ghosts under rocks
that don’t smile in public
Folks found your problem
its lost and forgotten

Oh, oh, oh
You soak in one dream
You’ve spent there, you are gonna dream there

Dryyyy
Now you ask your babies” why? why? why? Why?”

And if you cant decide
you will do either weep or moan
your wasting in a moments to
anyway you want it to
ohh, but you could have had
turn it into broken wood
takin off a Saturday
im gonna fan a parasoul
am fairer than a clown, oh no
maybe there were two again
and if it ever was at all
im taking you up as an offer, Up as an Offer.

Here you are, you are breathing like little ghosts under rocks
That don’t sound in pockets
Folks found your problem
its lost and forgotten

Oh, oh, oh
You soaking in one dream
You’ve spent there,
you have gone and dream there

Now you ask your babies” why? Why? why? whyyy?”
