The Magnetic Fields - Holiday (2003) by The Magnetic Fields (보컬) on maniadb.com

I'll be the madness that carries you away
I'll be the sadness to light your darkest day
I'll be the desert island where you can be free
I'll be the vulture you can catch and eat

Desert island love is all around
Desert island where you can laugh aloud
Desert island everywhere's a beach
Desert island that's what I wanna be.

We'll develop muscles from cracking coconuts
Let our clothing drop off feel each other's butts
Start a better country where we can get things done
Make a fortune turning sand to silicon

Desert island love is all around
Desert island where you can laugh aloud
Desert island everywhere's a beach
Desert island that's what I wanna be.

While we're still holding on counting days until we're gone
Can we spend some time alone in our free love zone

Desert island love is all around
Desert island where you can laugh aloud
Desert island everywhere's a beach
Desert island that's what I wanna be.

You didn't have to say that I'm no good, 'cause I know.
There's no point pointing pistols at me now, I'll just go.
I never should have asked you to be kind, but I'm slow.

I'm sorry, but how can I get to you
Stuck in my fifty-pound lead boots,
Stuck in my deep sea diving suit?

I never thought you'd turn on me, 'cause you're my best friend.
You say I never offered you a thing in the end.
And now you wouldn't trust me with a grain of sand.

I'm sorry, but how can I get to you
Stuck in my fifty-pound lead boots,
Stuck in my deep sea diving suit?

on the ferris wheel
looking out on Coney Island
under more stars than
there are prostitues in Thailand
our hair in the air
our lips blue from cotton candy
when we kiss it feels
like a flying saucer landing

and i can't sleep
cause you got strange powers
your in my dreams
strange powers

in Las Vegas where
the electric bills are staggering
the decor hog wild
and the entertainment saccharin
what a golden age,
what a time of right and reason
the consumers king
and unhappiness is treason

and i can't sleep
cause you got strange powers
your in my dreams
strange powers

the sun falls down like money
the moon pours down like mercury
the stars fall down like money
and you come back to me
strange powers

You know the rain is gone when the sky is full of dust
and the tears are gone when your eyes are red as rust
and it just rains because it can and you just cry until you can't

But I can feel my courage crumbling
and my heart just turns to ice
When I see myself reflected
in your torn green velvet eyes.

You know the night is gone when the sunlight burns your eyes
and the cold is gone when the room is full of flies
and it's all a waste of time if you try to change your mind
And it's all a waste of time if you try to change your mind

I saw you standing at the airport
With your chihuahua in your hand
Crying on the moving sidewalk
On your way to Disneyland

And the flowers she sent and the flowers she said she sent
Are all equally dead
You don't care anymore, she said
And the books she read and the books that she said she read
Are all spread on the floor
You don't care about them anymore

I saw you closing your antique shop
With a boa 'round your throat
And you tremble like an ostrich
In your ostrich feather coat

And the flowers she sent and the flowers she said she sent
Are all equally dead
You don't care anymore, she said
And the books she read and the books that she said she read
Are all spread on the floor
You don't care about them anymore

I read your manifestoes and your strange religious tracts.
You took me to your library and kissed me in the stacks.

Planets crash, the world goes nova,
Sun explodes, all goes black.
You went off swinging London and forgot to come back

You couldn't grok my racecar, but you dug the roadside blur.
You weren't into my airplane, but you loved the whirling world.

Planets crash, the world goes nova,
Sun explodes, all goes black.
You went off swinging London and forgot to come back

Planets crash, the world goes nova,
Sun explodes, all goes black.
You went off swinging London and forgot to come back

Time swings like a wrecking ball into things
Youth fades as quickly as a hit parade
But as the days go by in the gray world outside
days grow on colorful trees

In my secret place, in my secret place.

They'll sell you tickets for their carousel don't pay
They'll get your money either way
You can go up and go down you can go round and round
but there's a better fairground

In my secret place, in my secret place.

The saddest brown eyes I'll ever know.
You gave crying so long ago,
But come outside and watch the snow
Softly falling.

Sad Little Moon in the big black sky.
All alone, hang your head and cry.

Sad Little Moon in the timeless night.
You may sleep, but you will never die.

You didn't need them, your Sunday friends.
And so you watched them like grains of sand
Running one by one out of your hands
Softly falling.

Crows in the trees spanish hotels by the sea
we wave goodbye airplanes draw swords in the sky

I'm so rich and you're so bored
Are you the trouble I've been looking for
You go out and you slam the door
Are you the trouble I've been looking for.

My eyes still burn whether you leave or return
The flowers bloom when you walk into the room

I'm so rich and you're so bored
Are you the trouble I've been looking for
You go out and you slam the door
Are you the trouble I've been looking for.

You stole it all and wrote my name on a wall
I've moved again I've changed my name again

I'm so rich and you're so bored
Are you the trouble I've been looking for
You go out and you slam the door
Are you the trouble I've been looking for.

Please forgive me for all the things I've done.
Sugar give me the love I need to carry on living.
Living without you I'd just die

With you, with you I can hold my head up high
And tell the crowd that I'm so proud
It makes me want to cry

Sugar World of you
Sugar World what can I do
Sugar World you're so Sweet
You're a Sugar World
To me you're champagne or ruhr wine
Will you make up your mind
You're lemon or you're lime
You're pecan or praline
You're sky bar or cloud nine

Sugar save me, come on save me from myself.
Enslave me, I never wanted anything else.
Looking, looking into your candy eyes.
Talking, talking about the day when I can
Make a vow, but that's not now.
It makes me want to cry.

Sugar World of you
Sugar World what can I do
Sugar World you're so Sweet
You're a Sugar World
To me you're champagne or ruhr wine
Will you make up your mind
You're lemon or you're lime
You're pecan or praline
You're sky bar or cloud nine

Sad as a painted clown, a beautiful boy in an ugly town
but when your circus closes down don't walk away from me
you've been asleep too long, the birds are bruises in the dawn
the pounds of flesh between us stretch as far as you can see

But all you ever do is walk away and I know if you'd only go slow

you could see what it means to be making the scene with me
But all you ever do is walk away and I think if you tried
you could find a little time
for the life I can see in your eyes, don't go. Don't go.

Sometimes you just explode and no one alive can break your code
You have a language of your own, an unconnected road
The people you called your friends, the places you won't go again
The decades lost in finding them, you'll have to let them go.

But all you ever do is walk away and I know if you'd only go slow

You were mean to me and broke my heart
now you've gone away but we're apart
but I've got a special machine to take me where
things turned out differently and you still care

I'm in my car I'm in my car I'm taking a ride to somewhere inside
where you never left and I never cried at the speed of light in my car.
Never comin' back to the world
I know where I belong where I'm your girl
so I've got fuzzy dice to bring me luck
roll me to a better place where we can rock

You used to slide down the carpeted stairs
or down the bannister
you stuttered like a kaleidoscope
'cause you knew too many words
you used to make ginger bread houses
we used to have taffy pulls

Take ecstasy with me, baby
take ecstasy with me.

You had a black snowmobile
we drove out under the northern lights
a vodka bottle gave you those raccoon eyes
we got beat up just for holding hands

Take ecstasy with me, baby
take ecstasy with me.
