Mylo Xyloto lyrics UNDER THE CUT.
HURTS LIKE HEAVEN
Written in graffiti on a bridge in a park
'Do you ever get the feeling that you're missing the mark?'
It's so cold, it's so cold
It's so cold, it's so cold
Written up in marker on a factory sign
'I struggle with the feeling that my life isn't mine'
It's so cold, it's so cold
It's so cold, it's so cold
See the arrow they shot, trying to tear us apart
Take the fire from my belly and the beat from my heart
Still I won't let go
Still I won't let go
Of you-ooh-ooh
'Cause you do
Oh you, use your heart as a weapon
And it hurts like heaven
On every street, every car, every surface are names
Tonight the streets are ours and we're writing the same
Don't let 'em take control
No we won't let 'em take control
Yes, I feel a little bit nervous
Yes, I feel nervous and I cannot relax
How come they're out to get us?
How come they're out when they don't know the facts?
So on concrete canvas under cover of dark
C'mon, concrete canvas; I'll go making my mark
Armed with a spray can soul
I'll be armed with a spray can soul
You-ooh-ooh
Oh, you-ooh-ooh
'Cause you
Use your heart as a weapon
And it hurts like heaven
Woah-oh-ooh
Woah-oh-ooh
Yeah it's true
When you
Use your heart as a weapon
And it hurts like heaven
Oh, it hurts like heaven
Oh oh oh oh oh oh oh
PARADISE
When she was just a girl
She expected the world
But it flew away from her reach
So she ran away in her sleep
And dreamed of
Para- para- paradise, para- para- paradise, para- para- paradise
Every time she closed her eyes
When she was just a girl
She expected the world
But it flew away from her reach
And the bullets catch in her teeth
Life goes on, it gets so heavy
The wheel breaks the butterfly
Every tear a waterfall
In the night, the stormy night, she'll close her eyes
In the night, the stormy night, away she'd fly
And dreams of para- para- paradise
Para- para- paradise
Para- para- paradise
Oh oh oh oh oh oh-oh-oh-oh
She'd dream of para- para- paradise
Para- para- paradise
Para- para- paradise
Oh oh oh oh oh oh-oh-oh-oh
Lalalalalalalalalalala
And so lying underneath those stormy skies
She'd say: "Oh, ohohohoh, I know the sun must set to rise"
This could be para- para- paradise
Para- para- paradise
Could be para- para- paradise
Oh oh oh oh oh oh-oh-oh
This could be
Para- para- paradise
Para- para- paradise
Could be para- para- paradise
Oh oh oh oh oh oh-oh-oh
This could be
Para- para- paradise
Could be para- para- paradise
Could be para- para- paradise
Oh oh oh oh oh oh-oh-oh-oh
CHARLIE BROWN
Oooh, ohohoooh
I stole a key
Took a car downtown where the lost boys meet
Took a car downtown and took what they offered me
To set me free
I saw the lights go down at the end of the scene
I saw the lights go down and they're standing in front of me
Ohohoooh
In my scarecrow dreams
When they smash my heart into smithereens
I'll be a bright red rose combusting the concrete
Be a cartoon heart
And light a fire, light a spark
Light a fire, a flame in my heart
We'll run wild
We'll be glowing in the dark
Ohohoooh
Glowing in the dark
Ohohoooh, ahahaaah
All the boys, all the girls
All that matters in the world
All the boys, all the girls
All the madness that occurs
All the highs, all the lows
As the room spinning goes
We'll run riot
We'll be glowing in the dark
Oooh, ohohoooh
So we saw an innocent riot
We'll be glowing in the dark
US AGAINST THE WORLD
Oh morning
Come bursting
The clouds amen
Lift off this blindfold, let me see again
And bring back the water that your ships rode in
In my heart she left a hole
The tightrope that I'm walking just sways and ties
The devil as he's talking with those angel's eyes
And I just want to be there when the lightning strikes
And the saints go marching in
And sing
Slow-owow-owow-owow-it down
Through chaos as it swirls
It's just us against the world
Like a river to a raindrop
I lost a friend
My drunken has a Daniel in a lion's den
And tonight I know it all has to begin again
So whatever you do, don't let go
And if we could float away
Fly up to the surface
And just start again
And lift off before trouble just erodes us in the rain
Just erodes us in the rain
Just erodes us, and see roses in the rain
Sing
Slow-owow-owow-owow-it down
Oh, slow-owow-owow-owow-it down
Through chaos as it swirls
It's us against the world
Through chaos as it swirls
It's us against the world
EVERY TEARDROP IS A WATERFALL
I TURN THE MUSIC UP, I GOT MY RECORDS ON
I SHUT THE WORLD OUTSIDE UNTIL THE LIGHTS COME ON
MAYBE THE STREETS ALIGHT, MAYBE THE TREES ARE GONE
I FEEL MY HEART START BEATING TO MY FAVOURITE SONG
AND ALL THE KIDS THEY DANCE, ALL THE KIDS ALL NIGHT
UNTIL MONDAY MORNING FEELS ANOTHER LIFE
I TURN THE MUSIC UP
I'M ON A ROLL THIS TIME
AND HEAVEN IS IN SIGHT
I TURN THE MUSIC UP, I GOT MY RECORDS ON
FROM UNDERNEATH THE RUBBLE SING A REBEL SONG
DON'T WANT TO SEE ANOTHER GENERATION DROP
I'D RATHER BE A COMMA THAN A FULL STOP
MAYBE I'M IN THE BLACK, MAYBE I'M ON MY KNEES
MAYBE I'M IN THE GAP BETWEEN THE TWO TRAPEZES
BUT MY HEART IS BEATING AND MY PULSES START
CATHEDRALS IN MY HEART
AND WE SAW OH THIS LIGHT I SWEAR YOU, EMERGE BLINKING INTO
TO TELL ME IT'S ALRIGHT
AS WE SOAR WALLS, EVERY SIREN IS A SYMPHONY
AND EVERY TEAR'S A WATERFALL
IS A WATERFALL
OH
IS A WATERFALL
OH OH OH
IS A IS A WATERFALL
EVERY TEAR
IS A WATERFALL
OH OH OH
SO YOU CAN HURT, HURT ME BAD
BUT STILL I'LL RAISE THE FLAG
OH
IT WAS A WA WA WA WA WA-ATERFALL
A WA WA WA WA WA-ATERFALL
EVERY TEAR
EVERY TEAR
EVERY TEARDROP IS A WATERFALL
EVERY TEAR
EVERY TEAR
EVERY TEARDROP IS A WATERFALL
MAJOR MINUS
They got one eye watching you
One eye on what you do
So be careful who it is you're talking to
They got one eye watching you
One eye on what you do
So be careful what it is you're trying to do
And be careful if you're walking into view
Just be careful if you're walking into view
Ooh ooh ooh, ooh ooh ooh oooh
Got one eye on the road and one on you
Ooh ooh ooh, ooh ooh ooh oooh
Got one eye on the road and one on
They got one eye watching you
One eye on what you do
So be careful cause nothing they say is true
No d, -don't believe a word
Its jus-ust-us against the world
And we just got to turn up to be heard
Hear the crocodiles ticking round the world
Hear the crocodiles ticking, they go ticking round the world
Ooh ooh ooh, ooh ooh ooh oooh
Got one eye on the road and one on you
Ooh ooh ooh, ooh ooh ooh oooh
Got one eye on the road and
You could hear them climbing the stairs
Got my right side fighting while my left hides under the chairs
Ooh ooh ooh, ooh ooh ooh oooh
Got one eye on the road and one on you
Ooh ooh ooh, ooh ooh ooh oooh
Got one eye on the road and one on you
PRINCESS OF CHINA
Ohh, oh oh oh oh, oh oh oh oh, oh oh oh oh
Once upon a time, somebody ran, somebody ran away saying fast as they can,
About to go, I got to go,
Once upon a time, we fell apart,
You're holding in your hands the two halves of my heart,
Oh whoa, oh whoa
Whoa, oh oh oh, oh oh oh
Once upon a time, we were burning bright,
Now we all ever seem to do is fight,
On and on, and on and on and on
Once upon a time, on the same side,
Once upon a time, on the same side,
In the same game
And why'd you have to go?
Have to go and throw out all of my fame
I could've been the princess, you'd be the king,
I could have had a castle, and worn a ring
But no,
You let me go,
I could've been the princess, you'd be a king,
I could have had a castle, and worn a ring
But no,
You let me go,
You stole my star,
La la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la
You stole my star
La la la la la la
Oh whoa, oh whoa
Cause she really hurt me
No, you really hurt me,
Cause she really hurt me
No, you really hurt me,
Cause she really hurt me, oh
You really hurt me, oh
Cause she really hurt me, oh
You really hurt me
UP IN FLAMES
So it's over
This time, I know, it's gone
Salt water
You tasted it too long
I only know I'm wrong
Now I know it's gone
Up in flames
Up in flames
Up in flames
We have slowly gone
So it's over
This time you're flying on
This time, I know no song
Can stop it slowly burn
Can stop it slowly burn
Up in flames
Up in flames
Up in flames
We have slowly gone
Up in flames
Up in flames
Up in flames
Oh, we have slowly gone
Oh, we have slowly gone
Could we pour some water on?
DON'T LET IT BREAK YOUR HEART
And if I lost the map
If I lost it all
Or fell into the trap
Then she'd call
"When you're tired of racing
And you find you never left the start
Come on baby
Don’t let it break your heart"
Though heavily we bled
Still on we crawl
Try to catch a cannonball
And a slowly burning tide
Through my veins is flowing
From my shipwreck I heard her call
And she sang
"When you're tired of aiming your arrows,
Still you never hit the mark
Even in your rains and shadows
Still we never gonna part
Come on baby
Don't let it brake your heart
Don't let it break your heart
Don't let it break your heart"
UP WITH THE BIRDS
The birds they sang, at break of day
"Start again", I hear them say
It's so hard to just walk away
The birds they sang, all a choir
"Start again", a little higher
It's a spark in a sea of grey
The sky is blue
Dream that lie 'till it's true
Then taking back the punch I threw
My arms turn wings
Oh, those clumsy things
Send me up to that wonderful world
And then I'm up with the birds
Might have to go
Where they don't know my name
Float all over the world
Just to see her again
And I won't show or feel any pain
Even though all my armour might rust in the rain
A simple plot
But I know one day
Good things are coming our way
A simple plot
But I know one day
Good things are coming our way
Oh, yeah
