The Warning
Album - 22 maggio 2006 - Debaser id 326530

Every year, exactly this time of year
Let go a balloon up into the air
And hold on to one who is near
Remember everything is here

Every year, about this time of year
I am with you as if you are here
I remember the way it fell through
You and all we all could do

Watch your step
Take good care
Don't touch that
Don't stand there
Fire is hot
Steel can cut
Glass will break
If you're not--

I hope that you will be careful
The stories you told were hopeful
I hope that they aren't just artful
I hope that you will be careful

Colours are what keep me alive
Colours are one to hold in my head
Colours are where my old makes new
Colours are where my brain finds blue

Bursts are where I find a fix
Bursts are made to colour me rich
Bursts are blocks, Stickle Bricks
Bursts are colour till I'm sick

I only wanted for to see
There's nothing in this heart but me
Everything you want is not free

I'm everything a girl could need
There's nothing in this heart but me
If everything you want is free

I'm looking for a face to attack
It could be that I'm kissing your neck
You will not know because I'm laid back
So watch yourself I'll come with a smack

I've hit you hard it's time for some bounce
I've left a scar there's blood in our dance
I rock the claustrophobia stance
Now fix yourself your heart's in my lungs

Sip on something sleepy, wanna get a little overdose

What can you find in parades
What can you find in a rave
What can be drunk in a dream
What can be dreamt in a drink

It's all attack, it's all a tongue talk
I'll spell it out, just pass me the chalk
If I could teach, you soon would be taught
We're looking for something to report

Excuse me sir
I'm lost
I'm looking for a place
where I can get lost
I'm looking for a home
For my malfunctioning being
I'm looking for the mechanical music museum

This is a warning
I'll spell it out for you
For you
This is a warning
I'll spell it out for you

Excuse me miss
I'm a dog on heat
I'm a complicated being
With love songs to eat
I'm a poor, starving baby
who can march all night
I'm a mechanical music man
And I'm
Starting a fire

Hot Chip will break your legs
Snap off your head
Hot Chip will put you down
Under the ground

Excuse me child
I am trying to see
all the colours of wonder your brightness can be
return to nothingness enjoy
just might be right
but prepare yourself
for a mechanical fright

This is a warning
I'll spell it out for you
For you
This is a warning
I'll spell it out for you
For you

Hot Chip will break your legs
Snap off your head
Hot Chip will put you down
Under the ground
Hot Chip will break your legs
Snap off your head
Hot Chip will put you down
Under the ground

Excuse me son I'm found
I'm looking for a place
where I was once found
There's nothing in a world
where the melody is broken
There's always some way
to make a silence be spoken

Hot Chip will break your legs
Snap off your head
Hot Chip will put you down
Under the ground
Hot Chip will break your legs
Snap off your head
Hot Chip will put you down
Under the ground

Like all birds together we will squawk and we squeak
The joy comes from all our beaks
And ringing bells is our fun
Now our ass is moving as one

If we are forgetting all the rules that we learnt
As all the rule books are burnt
And just as A follows B
Our chorus must always be

[Chorus]
So glad to see that you came
We had best times
We hope you come again
Please come and see the sea
If you come we'll have best times again
But now it's time to go
Time to go home

I have but one true friend
She sings to me in my solitude
And I know her name
I tried to know her, in all her changes
And I don't know her place
And I don't see her face

When we come together then we forget ourselves
And just as night follows day
The beginning must become the end
And so we will start again
When we come together then we meet other souls
And then we make our goodbye
And we lay our bones to rest
As birds we dream of the sky

[Repeat x4]
Please let me go
Please help me go

'Scuse me sir I would like to leave the ride
Too many emergencies this time
I forgot, I forgot all this, all the trouble at my fingertips
Too many emergencies this time

'Scuse me sir but what is in your bag
Feels like those evil things you had
I forgot, I forgot all this, all these things that they feed us with
Feels like those evil things inside

We caught the fire but nobody escaped
Love other people but I don't know their names
I don't know their names
(Repeat)

We caught the fire but nobody escaped
Love other people but I don't know their names

I'm in no fit state
I'm in no fit shape
To fall in love with you
To make a record of my life
To lose any more than I need
To watch my fingers bleed
To bust my body up
To drink out of your cup
To act a fool in love
Acting hard's been tough
To act a fool in love
Acting hard's been tough
