black balloons

Local Natives

I can see the words as they come out your mouth
Black balloons form into a poison cloud

Hold me down and bring me back up again
Until I can't, I can't tell the difference

Circling vultures always overhead
Force your hand
Every day is life or death

Hold me down and bring me back up again
Until I can't, I can't tell the difference

Now you've changed your name
Do they still ask you twice?

I look on
Red lights flashing for applause
Play your part
Swear you're who you say you are

You hold me down and bring me back up again
Until I can't, I can't tell the difference
