Matchbox
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.
Viciously, she sleeps
Walks alone her lonely beat
She trips, falls into it all
And I wish I bite my lip and
Call her away from you my little one
Oh from you my little one
Don't come too close
You don't wanna see my ghost
Your turn but I'm betrayed
By you my sweetheart
Don't you think that you went too far
Do you want to see my heart bleed?
For you, you and him
Him and you, you know my heart bleeds
All of us, we're going out tonight
We're gonna walk all over your cars
The Kooks are out in the streets
Oh were gonna steal your skies
All of us, we're going out tonight
We're gonna walk all over your cars
The Kooks are out in the streets
Oh we're gonna see your...
I'm sorry that I let you go
I let you down, I let you down my dear
I always seem to play these games with you my, dear
I always, I always...
All of us, we're going out tonight
We're gonna walk all over your cars
The Kooks are out in the streets
Oh were gonna steal your skies
All of us, we're going out tonight
We're gonna walk all over your cars
The Kooks are out in the streets
Oh we're gonna steal your skies
Oh my Juliet, I'll never betray you my love
Oh my Juliet, I'll never, I'll never betray you
Woah woaaaaaooooooaoaooo
Woah woaaaaaooooooaoaooo
Woah woaaaaaooooooaoaooo
Woah woaaaaaooooooaoaooo
Don't come too close
You don't wanna see my ghost
Your turn but I'm betrayed
By you my sweetheart
