Playlist Cage The Elephant

cage the elephant - aberdeen

I've been tryin real hard...
To realize
But somethings take a long long
Long long time (a long time)

Hold the phone
Hit repeat
You got me foamin at the knees
Saw the flame tasted sin
You burned me once again
Cut the cord, she's a creep
Aberdeeeen
Way back
Way back
Way back

Never saw my dark side
In, in your eyes
Back and forth bloody fingers
Paintin up the sky
The sky

Hold the phone
Hit repeat
You got me foamin at the knees
Saw the flame tasted sin
You burned me once again
Cut the cord, she's a creep
Aberdeeeen
Way back
Way back
Way back

cage the elephant - free love

She move so quick
She move so fast
She move so quick
She make the good times last
She said that even in the morning said you know It's on
Even in the morning

Free love
Free love
Free love
Free love, love, love, love

She like it rough
She bending bones
She starts a screaming when she's ready to go
She said that even in the morning said you know that it's on
Even in the morning

Free love
Free love
Free love
Free love, love, love, love

Pretty girl come with me
Two on two
Three on three
Passion is the flavor climbing up this tree
make a fuss
Move around
keep it on uder the groun
Just beneath the covers
i can see the sea

She knocking knees
So full of pride
She made the move cause she's got nothing to hide
She said that even in the morning said you know that it's on
Even in the morning

Free love
Free love
Free love
Free love, love, love, love

cage the elephant - in one ear

They say that we ain't got the style,
We ain't got the class,
We ain't got the tunes that's goin to put us on the map
And I'm a phoney in disguise,
Tryin to make the radio,
I'm an anti-social anarchist dyslexic so and so,
They say I'm just a stupid kid,
Just a crazy radical,
Rock and roll is dead I probably should've stayed in school,
Another generation X who somehow slipped up through the crack,
They'd love to see me fall but I'm already on my back

And it goes In One Ear,
And right out the other,
People talkin' shit but you know it never bothers me,
In One Ear,
And right out the other,
People talkin' shit,
They can kiss the back of my hand

Now I know I'm not a saint,
I been a sinner all my life,
I ain't tryin to have no buds,
I'd rather keep them in the line,
They wanna criticise you now,
Cast another stone,
Burn me at the stake and see them watch it from the dome,
They say the devil is my pal,
I do alotta drugs!
The crowd will only like me if they're really fuckin' drunk,
They think they know my thoughts,
But they don't know the least,
If they listened to the words they'd find the message that's beneath

And it goes In One Ear,
And right out the other,
People talkin shit even though they never bother,
In One Ear,
And right out the other,
Peopl talkin' shit don't ya know they never bother and...

Here's the moral to the story,
We don't do it for the glory,
We don't do it for the money,
We don't do it for the things so all the critics who despise, just go ahead and criticise,
It's your integrity that drives us, addin fire to the flame and it goes

In One Ear,
And right out the other,
People talkin' shit but you know they'll never bother,
It goes In One Ear,
And right out the other,
I'm only playing music cos you know that I love it, it goes
In One Ear,
And right out the other,
People talkin' shit but you know we'll never bother,
It goes In One Ear, and right out the other, people talkin shit well you know they can kiss the back of my hand

cage the elephant - aint no rest for the wicked

I was walking down the street,
When out the corner of my eye
I saw a pretty little thing approaching me.
She said "I've never seen a man
Who looks so all alone,
Could you use a little company?
If you pay the right price
Your evening will be nice,
And you can go and send me on my way."
I said "You're such a sweet young thing
Why you do this to yourself?"
She looked at me and this is what she said,

"Oh, there ain't no rest for the wicked,
Money don't grow on trees.
I got bills to pay,
I got mouths to feed,
There ain't nothing in this world for free.
I know I can't slow down,
I can't hold back,
Though you know, I wish I could.
No there ain't no rest for the wicked,
Until we close our eyes for good".

Not even fifteen minutes later
I'm still walking down the street,
When I saw a shadow of a man creep out of sight.
Then he walks up from behind
And puts a gun up to my head,
He made it clear he wasn't looking for a fight.
He said "Give me all you've got
I want your money not your life,
But if you try to make a move I won't think twice."
I said "You can have my cash
But first you know I got to ask
What made you want to live this kind of life?"

He said "There ain't no rest for the wicked,
Money don't grow on trees.
I got bills to pay,
I got mouths to feed,
There ain't nothing in this world for free.
I know I can't slow down,
I can't hold back,
Though you know, I wish I could.
No there ain't no rest for the wicked,
Until we close our eyes for good".

Now a couple hours passed
And I was sitting at my house,
The day was winding down and coming to an end.
So I turned on the TV
And flipped it over to the news,
And what I saw I almost couldn't comprehend.
I saw a preacher man in cuffs he'd taken money from the church,
He's got this bank account with righteous dollar bills.
But even still I can't say much
Because I know we're all the same,
Oh yes we've all got to satisfy those thrills.

"Oh, there ain't no rest for the wicked,
Money don't grow on trees.
We got bills to pay,
We got mouths to feed,
There ain't nothing in this world for free.
I know we can't slow down,
We can't hold back,
Though you know, we wish we could.
No there ain't no rest for the wicked,
Until we close our eyes for good"

cage the elephant - come a little closer

Time shakes, found you at the water
At first you were my father, now I love you like a brother
Earthquakes shake the dust behind you
This weather toss will blind you
Still not know, I seem blind

Come a little closer than you seem
Come on, come on, come on
Things aren?t always what they seem to be
Come on, come on, come on
Do you understand the things that you would see here
Come on, come on, come on
Do you understand the things that you?ve been dreaming
Come a little closer than you seem

Heartbreaks, that have me rest upon your shoulder
Will you buy my ?
So now I know I found you there
Uuuh, wanna see if you can change it
Still not know, I seem good

Come a little closer than you seem
Come on, come on, come on
Things aren?t always what they seem to be
Come on, come on, come on
Do you understand the things that you would see here
Come on, come on, come on
Do you understand the things that you?ve been dreaming
Come a little closer than you seem
Come a little closer than you seem

Ten thousand peowle stand alone now
And in the evening the sun sets,
Tomorrow it will rise
Time flies by, they all sing along
Time flies by, they all sing along
Time flies by, they all sing along
Time flies by, by

Come a little closer than you seem
Come on, come on, come on
Come a little closer than you seem
Come a little closer than you seem
Come a little closer than you seem
Come a little closer than you seem

cage the elephant - cigarette daydreams

Did you stand there all alone?
Oh I cannot explain what's going down
I can see you standing next to me
In and out somewhere else right now
You sigh look away
I can see it clear as day
Close your eyes so afraid
Hide behind that baby face
You can drive all night
Looking for answers in the pouring rain
You wanna find peace of mind
Looking for the answer
Funny how it seems like yesterday
As I recall you were looking out of place
Gathered up your things and slipped away
No time at all I followed you into the hall
Cigarette Daydream
You were only seventeen
Soft speak with a mean streak
Nearly brought me to my knees
You can drive all night
Looking for the answers in the pouring rain
You wanna find peace of mind
Looking for the answer
If we could find a reason, a reason to change
Looking for the answer
If you find a reason, a reason to say
Standing in the pouring rain

cage the elephant - halo

Every time I get away you
find a way to reel me back in. (aah)
Tell me that you love me
hold me tight so we can always be friends. (aah)
I swear
I've said it before, and I say it again! (aah)
Every time I get away you
find a way to pull me back in. (aah)

Why does it take so long?
Why does it feel so wrong?
Why does it take so lo-oo-ong?

Knew I, couldn't help myself
I had to lay low.
So I, couldn't help myself
I lost my halo.

Take me by the hand and
still remember all the good times we had. (aah)
I remember how you took my favourite knife
and sticked under my skin. (aah)
I swear
I've said it before, and I say it again! (aah)
Every time I get away you
find a way back under my skin.

Why does it take so long?
Why does it feel so wrong?

Knew I, couldn't help myself
I had to lay low.
So I, couldn't help myself
I lost my halo.

All my life
With a skeleton.
I had to let go.

So I, couldn't help myself
I lost my halo.
I lost my halo
I lost my halo

cage the elephant - always something

Early in the mornin'
Rise to meet the sun
Work so hard to feed your wife
No time to show her lovin'
And in the madness of the evenin'
With diamonds in your hand
Came home an hour early
Caught her with another man

It's always somethin'
Before the late night
Around the corner
There's always somethin' waitin' for ya
Can't hold the hands back
Can't make the sun rise
It's always somethin'
You know it's always somethin'

On your way back home again
A Good Samaritan
You see a man stuck in the rain
Stranded with no friends and
From the goodness of your heart
You saved him from the flood
A couple miles down the road
He's covered in your blood

It's always somethin'
Before the late night
Around the corner
There's always somethin' waitin' for ya
Can't hold the hands back
Can't make the sun rise
It's always somethin'
You know it's always somethin'

Moving around you never see it comin'
Burned by the light you though that you were runnin'
Blinded again, you're floatin like a feather
Why can't you see you can't control the weather?

Sometimes I caught myself
Lookin' in the mirror
With my eyeballs out
And I'm lookin' at the fear
In the bottom of the drain
Saw it growin' like a plant
But it never worked out
The way I wrote it in my hands
I tried, I tried, I tried, decide, decide, decide...

It's always somethin'
Before the late night
Around the corner
There's always somethin' waitin' for ya

Can't hold the hands back
Can't make the sun rise
It's always somethin'
You know it's always somethin'
You know it's always somethin'
You know it's always somethin'

cage the elephant - rolling in the deep

There's a fire starting in my heart
Reaching a fever pitch, it's bringing me out the dark
Finally I can see you crystal clear
Go ahead and sell me out and I'll lay your ship bare

See how I leave with every piece of you
Don't underestimate the things that I will do
There's a fire starting in my heart
Reaching a fever pitch
And it's bringing me out the dark

The scars of your love remind me of us
They keep me thinking that we almost had it all
The scars of your love they leave me breathless
I can't stop feeling

We could've had it all
Rolling in the deep
You had my heart inside of your hand
And you played it
To the beat

Baby I have no story to be told
But I've heard one of you
And I'm gonna make your head burn
Think of me in the depths of your despair
Making a home down there
As mine sure won't be shared

The scars of your love remind me of us
They keep me thinking that we almost had it all
The scars of your love they leave me breathless
I can't help feeling

We could've had it all
Rolling in the deep
You had my heart inside of your hand
And you played it
To the beat

Throw your soul through every open door
Count your blessings to find what you look for
Turned my sorrow into treasured gold
You pay me back in kind
And reap just what you sow

The scars of your love they leave me breathless
I can't stop thinking that we almost had it all
The scars of your love remind me of us
I can't stop feeling

We could've had it all
Rolling in the deep
You had my heart inside of your hand
And you played it
To the beat

cage the elephant - testify

Home, Sweet home
Always on the road
Chasin' gold, fool's gold
Nothing left but bones

I don't want to spend
Another lonely night
Walkin' around this
World without you by my side
In the corner of the room
I see you standing all alone
Every single time that
You're next to me
Oh I can testify it takes
The breath from me
I think it's safe to safe
It's been too long

Gone, on my way to Rome
Far from home, sweet home
Cut me to the bone

I don't want to spend
Another lonely night
Walkin' around this world
Without you by my side
In the corner of the room
I see you standing all alone
Every single time that
You're next to me
Oh I can testify it takes
The breath from me
I think it's safe to safe
It's been too long

I don't want to spend
Another lonely night
Walkin' around this world
Without you by my side
In the corner of the room
I see you standing all alone
Every single time that
You're next to me
Oh I can testify it takes
The breath from me
I think it's safe to safe
It's been too long

cage the elephant - sell yourself

Well I tried to paint my mind
But now I'm stuck here in the middle
Got this scalpel in my hand
I'm operating on this riddle
Got my tongue on tight-knot
On my forehead placed a label
Took all my inspiration
Cause your name was on the table
Let's talk about me,
Let's talk about you,
I know your type
I know exactly what you wanna do
And if the money's right
You think I'd disagree
So sad to see you torn apart
By all your selfish greed
And sell yourself
Don't be a fool
Sell yourself

Sell yourself Don't be a fool
Sell yourself Sell yourself
All my memory shard becomes dirty little pieces
Choking on your cancer, waitin' on to new releases
No more need to operate
You are ready for the masses
Nothing more to give you
You are ready for the masses
Let's talk about me,
Let's talk about you,
I know your type
I know exactly what you wanna do
And if the money's right
You think I'd disagree
So sad to see you torn apart
By all your selfish greed
And sell yourself
Don't be a fool
Sell yourself

Sell yourself Don't be a fool
Sell yourself Sell yourself
Sell yourself Sell yourself
Sell yourself Sell yourself
Don't be a fool Sell yourself

Sell yourself Don't be a fool
Sell yourself Sell yourself

Bring me your hand, taste of my skin (?)
Give me your heart like a hole in the head

Forever

cage the elephant - judas

The time has finally come you get a mouth full
You only act on greed and by your actions this is proved
And can't you see all the flowers dying all around you
Got your hands in the devil's pockets got everything to lose

And so you lash out
to crush the ones below
or all the ones that you fear most
and you call this crowd control
well let me break it down for ya

The fire in your veins is just a joke you tell yourself
another way to cut the cost to hide your face from all the guilt
and is a shame you had to say you had to kill to gain control
but at least you made some money, hey let the good times roll

its your dream to be the king of all creation
as far as im concerned you hung you shadow on the wall
and though your fingers never really pulled the trigger
your hands are just as guilty your the one who brought the blood

again you lash out to hush the ones who know
cause they're the ones that you fear most
and it's called damage control
well let me break it down for ya

The fire in your veins is just a joke you tell yourself
another way to cut the cost to hide your face from all the guilt
and is a shame you had to say you had to kill to gain control
but at least you made some money, hey let the good times roll

oh my the greed has now consumed you
your eyes fade as you fall into the ocean
you move fast to feed your lust for money
you dive down now you're caught in the commotion

all this and you trade it in for nothin
a cheap lie you put it in your pocket
all this and you trade it in for nothin
oh my i can see you heart has met its end

say hello to Judas

cage the elephant - jesse james

It's all over now
Put it on the wire, ahuh
Gonna burn it to the ground
Put it on the wire, ahuh

You'll have to put me in my grave
Before I wear a ball and chain
Maybe we should have some fun
Put it on the wire, ahuh

You say my days are numbered
I swear you'll never take me alive

Is this the last dance? Honey c'mon
This is my last chance, Honey c'mon
If it's the last dance, Honey c'mon
Come on by

No sense trying to hide
Put it on the wire, ahuh
Tell me that we're out of time
Put it on the wire, ahuh

Everywhere I go I see
The end is coming after me
Maybe we should have some fun
Put it on the wire, ahuh

You said that it's not funny
I swear, I didn't mean to smile

Is this the last dance? Honey c'mon
This is my last chance, Honey c'mon
If it's the last dance, Honey c'mon
Come on by

Between the flash of lighting and the broken glass
Never heard a sound 'cause Baby we're so fast
Tell my mother I love her, tell her again
Kiss them all goodbye

Is this the last dance? Honey c'mon
This is my last chance, Honey c'mon
If it's the last dance, Honey c'mon
One more time

cage the elephant - rubber ball

Rolling around like a big rubber ball
Writing this song about some things that I saw
Trying to stand like a big strong tough man
Finding out fast that I'm sinking in sand

All I got is nothing but
A little bit of love and gonna
Give it to the people then they'll
See, then they'll see

Spinning the tops as the tables they turn
Made some mistakes but I still couldn't learn
Riding the tracks but I was fine
Got no self control now I'm back here in line

All I got is nothing but
A little bit of love and gonna
Give it to the people then they'll
See, then they'll see [2x]
