Ra Ra Riot Album

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?”

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

If I go to Gloucester you know I will
wait there for you
The Rhumb Line is waiting there too
you know it's worth the nights we wait there
it all falls apart, apart
come on
come on

If I go to Gloucester you know I will
wait there for you
The Rhumb Line is waiting there too
you know it's worth the nights we wait there
it all falls apart, apart

Don't you think by now there's truth
In all she's said to us
Come on
Come on
Come on
Come on...and let us in

If the heather is wet then
I might be accustomed to walk
It might bet he way that we talk
The river and the rock that fell there
It all falls apart

When I arrive
Will you wake if I open the door
A tone that was taken before
The cusp and the fjords we wade through
It all falls apart

And it won't take long
Oh, and you're right
Once or twice
Sawney bean

Oh, don't you think by now there's truth
In all she's said to us
Come on
Come on
Come on
Come on...and let us in

Arms wide
Arms too wide
But oh there comes a tide

A little more
Finding a way from what's dark
In your eyes
Once or twice
It's a feel

I've a little fawn
And it won't take flight
Oh
For the brightest
Oh christ
It's a farce

Orange lamps shine by willow bay
Ice covers from the lake to where I lay
In a state
In which I dream

If you were here
Winter wouldn't pass quite so slow
And if you were here
Then i'd have a choice to live not be alone

But instead I sit atop the crest
Looking down on the valley where the dead rest
And every morning I wake beside myself

But I digress

If you were here
Winter wouldn't pass quite so slow
And if you were here
Then i'd have a choice to live not be alone

If you were here
Winter wouldn't pass quite so slow
And if you were here
Then i'd have a choice to live not be alone

If you were here
Winter wouldn't pass quite so slow
And if you were here
Then i'd have a choice to live not be alone

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

We have forgotten so much since then
The scent of your breath again
Or maybe it's the way we fell
don't fall
Stop looking out to pretend
Everything is still there

We have forgotten so much since then
The scent of your breath again
Or maybe it's the way that we fell
Don't fall
Stop looking up

Pretending this is not
What it might have come from
The tide or your luck

She'd have said it's cruel
I only cared about the
Things that you don't

Anything that's right
We had much more
Anything worth losing
Pleasing you

When I look in your eyes
What am I supposed to do
When I look in your eyes
When I look in your eyes

We have forgotten so much since then
The august light on my hands
Is it the tone we defend
Don't fall
Stop looking up

Cause still I had a thought
A day couldn't tell
The weight or a change

The way that we are
I can't tell if I'm
Asleep or awake

Anything that's right
Pleasing you

When I look in your eyes
What am I supposed to do
When I look in your eyes
Alright, alright
When I look in your eyes
Oh what am I
Supposed to do
What did I do

I could tell you were there
Lying awake and aware
I'm feeling I got no
Sense of what's left or gone
What's left or gone
Gimme something to leave with
The feeling that you're not mine
We're feigning words in the place
Of people we used to know

When I look in your eyes
What am I supposed to do
When I look in your eyes
Alright, alright
When I look in your eyes
Oh what am I
Supposed to do
What did I do

Say a word that's quiet, not half the way there
Somedays our future...it seems to hang on so tight
"Come quickly now the air hangs heavily today"
"Oh no, but what is that crimson in the shade?"

Oh la we've got a lot to learn from each other,
We've got to stick together.
Oh la we've got a lot to learn from each other,
We've got to stick together.

I wouldn't say the word now but this is not what I meant,
For a woman that's fallen over head and ears
And still so warm, but I'm lonely too,
Suddenly she is still and says, "I hope that things will be better here."

Oh la we've got a lot to learn from each other,
We've got to stick together.
Oh la we've got a lot to learn from each other,
We've got to stick together

Out in the garden
There's half of a heaven
We're only bluffing
We're not ones for busting through walls

But they've told us
Unless we can prove
That we're doing it
We can't have it all

He's gonna wangle
A way to get out of it
She's an excuse and a witness
Who'll talk when he's called

But they've told us
Unless we can prove
That we're doing it
We can't have it all
We can't have it all

I've caught a glimpse of a god
All shining and bright

Suddenly my feet are feet of mud
It all goes slo-mo
I don't know why I'm crying
Am I suspended in Gaffa?

Not 'til I'm ready for you
Not 'til I'm ready for you, ooh, ooh
Can I have it all?

I try to get nearer
But as it gets clearer
There's something appears in the way
It's a plank in the eye

With a camel
Who's trying to get through it
Am I doing it?
Can I have it all now?

I pull out the plank and say
Thank you for yanking me back
To the fact that there's
Always something to distract

Sometimes it's hard
To know if I'm doing it right
Can I have it all now?
Can I have it all now?
Can I have it all? I can't have it all

We all have a dream, maybe

Suddenly my feet are feet of mud
It all goes slo-mo
I don't know why I'm crying
Am I suspended in Gaffa?

Not 'til I'm ready for you
Not 'til I'm ready for you, ooh, ooh
Can I have it all?

I won't open boxes
That I am told not to
I'm not a Pandora
I'm much more like

That girl in the mirror
Between you and me
She don't stand a chance
Of getting anywhere at all

Not anywhere at all
No, not a thing
She can't have it all

Mother, where are the angels?
I'm scared of the changes

Suddenly my feet are feet of mud
It all goes slo-mo
I don't know why I'm crying
Am I suspended in Gaffa?

Not 'til I'm ready for you
Not 'til I'm ready for you

Suddenly my feet are feet of mud
It all goes slo-mo
I don't know why I'm crying
Am I suspended in Gaffa?

Not 'til I'm ready for you
Not 'til I'm ready for you, ooh, ooh
Can I have it all now?

All my days end too slow
And I wonder where I've left to go
Anyway, there's no such thing as company.
I've discovered all I've got to do.

What is it that gets you through
Another day when I'm not there.
Wish we could be more open,
I don't have time to think of how you are.

All my days end too slow,
And I wonder where I've left to go.
Besides I've got no one but myself to blame,
I discovered all I've got to do is

Run my mouth off

When I dream it's not of you,
Something in your voice that I can't hear
But some company it is,
Because I feel so close when I wake,
And in fifty years no one will care
That I was once there...

All my days end too slow,
And I wonder where I've left to go.
Anyway, there's no such thing as company.
I've discovered all I've got to do

Run my mouth off

Never wanted time for looking back,
For a moment I look down and wander
And of what's to come today,
Girl, I wonder where you are.

All my days end too slow,
And I wonder where I've left to go.
Besides I've got no one but myself to blame.
I discovered all I've got to do is

Run my mouth off
