Daylight lyrics

DAYLIGHT

we cut the legs off of our pants
threw our shoes into the ocean
sit back and wave through the daylight
sit back and wave through the daylight

slip and slide on subway grates
these shoes are poor mans ice skates
fall through like change in the daylight
fall through like change in the daylight

i miss yellow lines in my roads
some color on monochrome
maybe i’ll paint them in myself
maybe i’ll paint them in myself

these sidewalks liquid then stone
building walls and an old pay phone
it rings like all through the daylight
it rings like all through the daylight

chorus
and in the daylight we can hitchhike to maine
i hope that someday i’ll see without these frames
and in the daylight i don’t pick up my phone
cause in the daylight anywhere feels like home

I have five clocks in my life
and only one has the time right
i’ll just unplug it for today
ill just unplug it for today

open hydrant rolled down windows
this car might make a good old boat
and float down grand street in daylight
and float down grand street in daylight

and with just half of a sunburn
new yellow lines that i earned
step back and here comes the night time
step back and here comes the night time

chorus
and in the daylight we can hitchhike to maine
i hope that someday i’ll see without these frames
and in the daylight i don’t pick up my phone
cause in the daylight anywhere feels like home

I hesitated to post this one because I thought, “who doesn’t know who sang this song?” Then I realized that I’m old and that a 20 year old would have been born 19 years after this song was released.

The Bomb Lyrics (iTunes)|(Amazon MP3)

You know you really were the bomb
Oh, oh, oh, atomic infamy
You really have to display information
To discover relativity
You know you really were the bomb
Oh, oh, oh, atomic infamy
You really have to display information
To discover relativity
You’re no faker, love and peace maker
Come and take a moment with your enemy

Aha, don’t speak ‘cos your mind is amazing
Aha
Aha, don’t speak ‘cos your mind is amazing
Aha

And on the atoll of desire
Oh, oh, oh, battle was fought and won
Who took advantage and who was defenceless?
Oh, no, peppermint girl’s not done
Remember this emotional equation
Don’t test the moment when you break the sun

Aha, don’t speak ‘cos your mind is amazing
Aha
Aha, don’t speak ‘cos your mind is amazing
Aha
Aha, don’t speak ‘cos your mind is amazing
Aha
Aha, don’t speak ‘cos your mind is amazing
Aha

Dancing you’re tearing it up you know
Dancing you’re tearing it up you know
Dancing you’re tearing it up you know
Dancing you’re tearing it up…

Don’t speak ‘cos your mind is amazing
Dancing you’re tearing it up you know
Don’t speak ‘cos your mind is amazing
Dancing you’re tearing it up you know
Dancing you’re tearing it up…

Dan-cing, dan-cing, dan-cing, danc-ing
