Lyrics as submitted to SongMeanings.com by user rxqueen and edited by user ReadThese
The thunder clouds broke up,
And the rain dried up,
The lightning let up,
The clacking shutters just shut up.
There’s no black or white,
No change in the light,
No night, no golden sun.
The sound of cars,
The smell of bars,
The awful feeling of electric heat.
Under fluorescent lights,
There’s sacrifice,
There’s hard feelings,
There’s pointless waste.
I want wind to blow
My clothes off me,
Sweep me off my feet,
Take me up and bring me back.
Oh, where I can see
Days pass by me,
I have no head to hold in grief.
There’s no hope for me,
I’ve been set free.
There’s no breeze,
There’s no ship on my sea.

When you play Cmaj7 in this song, I recommend you repeatedly
switch between Cmaj7 and Cmaj9 by taking off and putting on your pinky finger.

I took my shirt off in the yard

No one saw that the skin on my shoulders was golden

I could not get through September without a battle

Ooh oh oh

Bm
I drove up to the city at night
G
And found the place where you grew up
Bm
And then where you stayed
And then we walked around
G
And stayed up late
Under city lights
Bm
And I spent the night
G
Next to you in the house where you grew up
Bm
Next to you I miraculously woke up
In your parents' house
G
I lied in bed with you
Bm G
I went back to feel alone there
Bm G
I went back to wipe it clean
Bm G
I took the lights and radio towers out of my dreams
Bm G
We went all the way up to the small town where I'm from
With foggy air
And the wind
Bm
And the mountain top
And we clung to rocks
G
And we looked off
You held my hand
Bm
You almost got to start feeling me
G
I finally felt like I was breathing free
Bm G
And under swaying trees we fell asleep and had the same dream
The stars were bright
Bm
We dream the same every night
G
On my island home I spent some time with you
Bm G
I went back to feel alone there
Bm G
I went back there by myself
Bm G
And gave up on everything that we'd felt
D
We found a precious place in the sand
G
Right out in the wind
And lied under a blanket
D
And heard the furious sound
The roar of waves
The pounding surf
G
Two bodies on the earth
D G
It was intense just getting to be there next to you
D
And you were trying to get me then
G
And I was happy let you in
Bm G
I went back and wished I hadn't
Bm G
I went back and felt regret
Bm G
I went to the beach and I stared west
Bm - G
Bm
Every night when the sun went down
G
In the town where we live
The empty streets were lit up
Bm
By reflected light
From a distant sun
G
Bouncing off a glowing ball of rock
Bm
We just lied on the roof and watched
G
The moon
The blue light of the moon
Bm
The moon
The blue light of the moon
G Bm
We didn't talk and silently we both felt powerful
G
Like the moon my chest was full
Bm G
Because we both knew we're just floating in the same space over molten rock
Bm
And we felt safe and discovered that our skin is soft
G
There's nothing left except certain death
Bm
And that was comforting under the moon
G
Bm G
I went out last night to forget that
Bm G
I went out and stared it down
Bm G
But the moon just stared back at me
Bm G
And in its light I saw my two feet on the ground

I got hit hard, I'm on the ground
F C
And if you swing again I'll duck
F C
But I wish you the best of luck
F C
You deserve yourself
F C
And I'll return from my trip to hell
fig. 1 C
As a headless horseman
F C
Cause, oh what a loss
F C
I went back to get my stuff
F C
And it was tangled up and tough
F C
I stood there and stared you down
F C
And I walked aimlessly around

With a flaming pumpkin head
F C
Oh what a loss
F C
My soft hands replaced by claws
F C fig. 1 C
You turned me into a stray dog, from a mighty human man
F C
Oh what a loss
F C
Oh what a loss
F C
I miss my closest friend
F C
And now I cling to rocks and wind

It's a precious thing we lost

My feet are on the ground
Gmaj7 C
But compared to you I'm small
Cmaj7 G
The things you need you just surround
G - C x2
G C
You rocked around the earth
G C
You circle it with air
G C
You're trapped inside the core
G C G
With hot hot lava hair
C
I wish you could sprout
G
But you can't stick your neck out
Gmaj7 C
I want you climbing on my limbs
Cmaj7 G
But I'm just stumped by your whims

Intro:
Strum these chords quickly.
F
F - G - Am - G x2
F
There's no end, there's no glory
G Am
There's a slow resounding story
There's no place to feel certain
G F
There's nobody waiting for me
There's no stand of trees, no morning
G Am
There's a curve without a warning
There is weird and lasting sadness
G F
There's no large and lengthy warming
There's no heat, there's no expansion
G Am
There's no door into the mansion
Lengthy warming, sweet removal
G F
Sweet expanse sweet and substantial
There's no flesh
G
There's no fingers in my hair
Am
I see a tunnel
G
We built walls, tall and solid
F
Between the treasure and the shovel
I see an in I see a fountain
G Am
There's a trail over the mountain
There's no wayside, there's no stopping
G F
And the peak is wide and rocky
There's no ceiling in the mansion
G Am
There's no waste no hesitation
There's no crack of dawn, no morning
G F
Just an everlasting warming

Lyrics as
You'll be in the air
In some hours you'll be over the sea
Lost in the other passengers on the plane
But if you just moved your arms
Then you could tell
That you are in the air
You'd feel the yawning gulf grow wider
And you'd feel the dwindling fuel for your lungs
So your breaths would slow
You'd be in the air
You'd feel the hot blowing rock filled winds
The clouds of ash would fill your skies
As you smoothly glide
Over the cold river basin where we spend the night
Again your gaping gap is pink in foggy light
When I wake up your pet will pounce I'll meet the day
You'll be in the air, I'll be in your bed when I'm awake
And can you tell that I'm down here?
Can you feel my hot lung-y wind
Was it intense to smell my skin, and not lose yourself?
I'll look pinkly out your window in the fog
Loud and clear I'll make out your resounding roar
You'll be in the air
You'll bear fruit, your bare feet
Your bare arms in the heat
You'll be able to feel your might

Intro:
G#5
G#5 F#5 E5
It's raining on me
G#5
And I don't want it to stop
F#5 E5
I don't want to breathe
Anymore
G#5 - F#5 - E5 - F#5
G#5
I want soggy ground
F#5 E5
I want to feel my feet in the sand
G#5 F#5 E5
I want water to rise and cover all the land
G#5 F#5
I want to swim until my arms give out
E5
And I come to an end
G#5
I hope it happens soon
F#5 E5
I can't deal with feeling this bad
G#5 - F#5 - E5
G#5 F#5 E5
I want to be cold
G#5 F#5 E5
And I want it to snow so bad
G#5
I hope your flames don't grow
F#5 E5
I want to be buried in snow
G#5
I hope your flames don't grow
F#5 E5
I just want to be cold
G#5
And I don't want you to know

But now I'm bored

My bloody flow is slowed so I can be bored near you

Oh, what a loss
C5 B5 A5 F5 G5 A5
It didn't show its head until mine was torn and thrown at you
G5 F5
And back it grew
C5 B5 A5 F5 G5 A5
With glassy eyes locked in contact on the couch with you
G5 F5
Oh, boring face

We're losing touch I reached and my extended hand went through

Never felt the dawn, the night was long
((from now on play normal chords))
C - Fm - Am - G
C5 F5
When the real dawn came I saw it crawl over the hill
A5 G5
And I felt clean and shook my hair out in the light
C5 F5
I looked up and hurt my eyes on the painful powerful sky
A5 G5
I looked down and felt motion under me
C5 F5
When I looked out across the freeway at the people flying by
A5 G5
I turned my head, I closed my eyes, I felt my size
F Fm
I recalled my fire, and my lack of dawn
Am G
My one sided warmth, I just wanted more
C5 F5
But I'm small, I'm not a planet at all
A5 G5 C5
I'm small, I'm small, we're all

Chorus
Bm 799777
A 577655
G 355433
D 200232
I thought I felt your shape but I was wrong
Really all I felt was falsely strong
I held on tight and closed my eyes
It was dumb I had no sense of your size
Bm A
It was dumb to hold so tight
G D
But last night
On the birthday in the kitchen
My grip was loose my eyes were open
I felt your shape and heard you breathing
I felt the rise and fall of your chest
Bm
I felt your fall
A
Your winter snows
G
Your gusty blow
D
Your lava flow
Bm
I felt it all
A
Your starry night
G
Your lack of light
D
With limp arms I can feel most of you
I hung around your neck independently
And my loss was overwhelmed
By this new depth I don't think I ever felt
But I don't know
The nights are cold
And I remember warmth
I could have sworn I wasn't alone
End

The Microphones - Samurai Sword
Lyrics as contributed to genius.com by user Breaded
E5 - F#5 - G5 - F#5 x3
E5 - F#5 - G5
E5 F#5
You're a bear foraging for a kill
G5
Your massive paws press down the snow
F#5
I've got bare feet
E5 F#5
Touching bark right above you silently
G5 F#5
I lower down my icy stare, you smell the air
E5 F#5 G5
I've got a samurai sword meant for you, polar bear
F#5
I've got a grizzly look in my eye
E5 F#5 G5
You aim to drag me back down underground to gorge
F#5
You want my blood all over your face
E5 F#5
But I'm plummeting through branches towards you now
G5
Feeling still (samurai Phil)

C - C/B - Am
F G C C/B Am
Oh, it's dark, the sun went down, the power's still out
F G C C/B Am
Oh, it's cold, my blood barely flows
F G C C/B Am
Oh, I'm alone, except for the sound of insects flying
F G F
Around they know my red blood is warm still
