Lyrics
Friendly Fires
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
Oh, the things we see
Through connected wires
Are the people that flee
From friendly fire?
When they separate me
Into being stored
With all the recessed genes
That are left ignored
Getting naked all the time
Why dodge the friendly fire?
So who could ever break you down?
And what could ever freak you out?
If you can carry this around
Then you will never break down
People like me
On the weekend, run
For all the weekday freaks
That are free and fun
Like they physically
Stormed into homes
They like to revel like me
Just to feel employed
Getting wasted on desire
A minute later, friendly fire
Gettin wasted on desire
A minute later, friendly fire
So could ever break you down?
And what could ever freak you out?
If you can carry this around
Then you will never break down
Getting naked all the time
A little wasted on desire
A minute later, friendly fire
So who could ever break you down?
And what could ever freak you out?
If you can carry this around
Then you will never break down
Then you will never break down
Then you carry this around
