[Lyrics MGMT - Mystery Disease] It can’t pay attention What slips into the system A light touch, a whisper that puts you to sleep Don’t sympathize with the mystery disease All it is is a feeling, Pain in a dress too revealing, A lost bond an old friend who likes what it sees You can’t shake off the mystery disease Lovers in a past life Meet in the street close to midnight, A last look sweet like the end of a dream, Then fall back into the mystery disease Go on, tell your symptoms to me It’s not in any of the books you can read It’s no fun to face what you don’t get to be, But what’s one more to the mystery disease? Floating impatience Snuffs my limited sapience Black smoke as soon as the pressure’s released Deep space sighs, the mystery disease Consumed by a weakness Cut with perpetua...
[Lyrics MGMT - Time to Pretend] I'm feelin' rough I'm feelin' raw I'm in the prime of my life Let's make some music make some money find some models for wives I'll move to Paris, shoot some heroin and fuck with the stars You man the island and the cocaine and the elegant cars This is our decision to live fast and die young. We've got the vision, now let's have some fun. Yeah it's overwhelming, but what else can we do? Get jobs in offices and wake up for the morning commute? Forget about our mothers and our friends We were fated to pretend. I'll miss the playgrounds and the animals and digging up worms I'll miss the comfort of my mother and the weight of the world I'll miss my sister, miss my father, miss my dog and my home Yeah I'll miss the boredom and the freedom and the time spent al...
[Lyrics MGMT - Your Life Is a Lie] Here's the deal Open your eyes Your life is a lie Don't say a word I'll tell you why You're living a lie Your life is a lie But you deny, you ever lied Wondering why Bury your life Count your friends On your hands Now look again They're not your friends Hold your breath Everyone left No surprise Living a lie Tell your wife This is your life Your life is a lie This is your wife Now she knows, she understands Her life is a lie Nobody wins Try not to cry You'll survive On your own Lessons in life Your life is a lie Now there's no time Wondering why Where in the world Is that girl? He knows she's alright To live a life Waiting to die Not knowing that Your life is a lie Wondering why Nobody writes Hollow inside Periods in light Fire and ice Your life is a li...
[Lyrics MGMT - Weekend Wars] Evil S I yes to find a shore, A beach that doesn't quiver anymore, Where we can crush some plants to paint my walls, And I won't try to fight in the weekend wars Was I? I was to lazy to bathe Or paint or write or try to make a change Now I can shoot a gun to kill my lunch And I don't have to love or think too much Instant battle plans written on the sidewalk Mental mystics in a twisted metal car Tried to amplify the sound of light and love Christ is cursed of faders and maders Might even take a knife to split a hair Or even scare the children off my lawn Giving us time to make the makeshift bombs Every mess invested was a score We couldn't use computers anymore It's difficult to win unless you're bored, And you might have to plan for the weekend wars Try to ...
[Lyrics MGMT - Of Moons Birds Monsters] Why'd you cut holes in the face of the moon base? Don't you know about the temperature change In the cold black shadow? Are you mad at your walls Or hoping that an unknown force can repair things for you? Pardon all the time that you've thrown into your pale grey garden? If the ship will never come you've got to move along Even a bird would want a taste of dirt from abyssal dark The prick of a feather could make a kingdom burn and the bloodshed start The falling apart Made me a shadow in the shape of wonder The waves of black If she's going under I can hold my breath till the sky comes back Or drown like a rat, rat, rat He's a rat! To catch a monster We make a movie Set the tempo And cut and cut its brains out It will inspire on the burning pyre H...
[Lyrics MGMT - The Handshake] I just shook the handshake I just sealed the deal I'll try not to let them Take everything they can steal People always told me Don't forget your roots I know I can feel them underneath my leather boots You toss all the mornings lost to the clouds and you watch it go Your fair weather friends on a parachute binge get lost when the wind blows The handshake's stuck on the tip of my tongue It tastes like death but it looks like fun I was a loner I was just waiting by myself When you, warped temptress Rose to bring me happiness and wealth Black tears, black smile, black credit cards and shoes You can call all the people you want But it's you who's being used Under your black eyes, honey Right beneath your nose A curse on all creation Every single thing you know...
[Lyrics MGMT - Plenty of Girls in the Sea] There's plenty of girls in the sea And plenty of seeds in a lemon The trick is in trying to stay free When it's never that great to begin with The surgeon performs precise little cuts But he's never perfect, he's thinking too much And it's really no comfort to me There's plenty of girls in the sea There's plenty of girls in the sea And plenty of those are not women As soon as you get yourself free Then somebody stops you from swimming The lifeguard admits, his whistle in hand That it isn't the muscle, and it isn't the tan No it's whatever you want it to be There's plenty of girls in the sea Ah the passionate painter will say with a brush: It's best to accept it and not make a fuss so Just cause the grass wasn't green Yeah, there's plenty of girl...
[Lyrics MGMT - Pieces of What] When the world has turned Paralyzed and wrong Cold blooded claws Never offered anything at all Past the point of love Shattered and untied Waiting to pick up the pieces That make it all alright But pieces of what Pieces of what Pieces of what Doesn't matter any more Moonlight on my floor Shining through the roof They got the city surrounded As if I needed proof I forgot my fear Feelings on the rise Burying all of the pieces Falling from the sky But pieces of what Pieces of what Pieces of what We used to call home Pieces of what We used to call home When I drank your tea And shallow water still At the Belgian gates I waited for my meal
[Lyrics MGMT - The Youth] This is a call of arms to live and love and sleep together We could flood the streets with love or light or heat whatever Lock the parents out, cut a rug, twist and shout Wave your hands Make it rain For stars will rise again The youth is starting to change Are you starting to change? Are you? Together In a couple of years Tides have turned from booze to tears And in spite of the weather We could learn to make it together The youth is starting to change Are you starting to change? Are you? Together The youth
You were a child,
crawlin' on your knees toward it.
Makin' mama so proud,
but your voice was too loud.
We like to watch you laughing.
You pick the insects off plants.
No time to think of consequences.
Control yourself.
Take only what you need from it.
A family of trees wantin',
To be haunted.
Control yourself.
Take only what you need from it.
A family of trees wantin',
To be haunted.
The water is warm,
but it's sending me shivers.
A baby is born,
crying out for attention.
Memories fade,
like looking through a fogged mirror
Decision to decisions are made and not bought
But I thought,
this wouldn't hurt a lot.
I guess not.
Control yourself.
Take only what you need from it.
A family of trees wantin',
To be haunted.
Control yourself.
Take only what you need from it.
A family of trees wantin',
To be haunted.
Control yourself.
Take only what you need from it.
A family of trees wantin',
To be haunted.
Control yourself.
Take only what you need from it.
A family of trees wantin',
To be haunted.
Control yourself.
Take only what you need from it.
A family of trees wantin',
To be haunted.
Control yourself.
Take only what you need from it.
