Destroyer - Looters' Follies Lyrics

Send "Looters' Follies" ringtone to your cell

You can huff You can puff

But you'll never destroy that stuff.

Finally I see why I suppose

Kids You better change your feathers

You'll never fly with those... things.

These nights the boys sing "Hello Emptiness"

I heard you're alright.

I heard you're alright.

I've heard of you.

A body aching fragile and pale.

Dark valleys a house its trail.

Why can't you see that a life in arms

And a life of mimicry

It's the same thing.

The room was crowded

And though you couldn't care less about it.

That much was true that much.

Another version of this miniature Rome to set fire to.

Why did we stop fucking around you?

Girls like gazelles graze.

Boys wearing bells blaze new trails in sound.

I looked up I looked around.

A famous Toronto painter shot me down.

Oh I've busted my ass on these streets too long

He said "I set fire to the bed and tore tore his gown".

Felt some mercurial presence hitherto unknown.

It was the sun.

It was a stone falling through blank space.

It was that jewel-encrusted roan getting in my face.

Looked across the way to the princess rooms.

I saw brides and their grooms.

Heard the sound of bells ringing.

Cinders look back fondly upon a house on fire.

When across an ocean.

We go.

We row and we row and we tire

Now step out of the darkness and into the light.

Yeah it's common knowledge: I've been doing alright.

No I can't complain.

On the east side midwives' lives go down the drain.

All cause our babies are dying. (screaming)

I lifted the veil to see nature's trickery

Revealed as pure shit from which nothing ever rose

Because nothing ever could.

I swear somewhere the truth lies within this wood.

And i swear looter's follies has never sounded so good.

And win or lose what's the difference?
