Disco Ensemble - First Aid Kit (2006) by Disco Ensemble (보컬) on maniadb.com

I've been trying to shape up
Shape up and raise hell
But it's so hard to wake up
'Cause baby, I ain't well

This is my head exploding from the weight of the thoughts inside
These are my thoughts escaping through the ventilation-shaft
Though my words weight a ton they can hardly ever come out right
This is an emergency call 'cause my head explodes tonight

Chorus:
I'm trying to shout
But no sound comes out
This is my voice signing off
I'm trying to shout
But no sound comes out
This is my heart signing off

I've been trying to catch up
Catch up with the fuzz
But it's so hard to wake up
And even catch the buss

Well this is my concentration leaking out into the drain
These are my lungs breaking down from too many cigarettes
And though my words could save the world, they never come out right
This is an emergency call 'cause I haven't seen the light

Chorus
I'm trying to shout
But no sound comes out
This is my voice signing off
I'm trying to shout
But no sound comes out
This is my heart signing off

Only cowards need help to get by
Only cowards need friends to survive 2x

This is my head exploding from the weight of the thoughts inside
These are my thoughts escaping through the ventilation-shaft
Though my words weight a ton they can hardly ever come out right
This is an emergency call 'cause my head explodes tonight

Chorus
I'm trying to shout
But no sound comes out
This is my voice signing off
I'm trying to shout
But no sound comes out
This is my heart signing off

We Might Fall Apart

There's something strange about the way the tap-water tastes
Making speeches for the walls gets harder with every phrase
I woke up and everyone had gone
I woke up when the sun was setting
I woke up and you were gone away

On any given day
We might fall apart, We might fall apart
On any minute now
We might fall apart, Just like a house of cards

There's something strange about the way the horizon glows
We'll lie down on the road and the cars drive inches from our toes
I woke up and everyone had gone
I woke up when the sun was setting
I woke up and you were gone away

Maybe it's the chloroform kicking in, the chloroform is kicking in
or maybe we've given in

On any given day
We might fall apart, We might fall apart
On any minute now
We might fall apart, Just like a house of cards

I can not sleep,
while you hide in the skins of saints and virgins
Cunningly, you've again betrayed us all

Oh I know, my time is wasted by this hatred
Oh I know, this grudge will suck me dry
But maybe you'll come and put me out of my misery
One graceful day you'll set me free

Won't you drop dead?
You won't fool me with your same old lies
Won't you drop dead?
‘Cause I have seen what's behind those eyes
Oh Casanova
Won't you drop dead?
Oh Casanova

I can not wait
for you people to bring down your statues
Liberate me and please come clean
But maybe you'll come and put me out of my misery
One graceful day you'll set me free

You've again betrayed us all
Now you're bound to fall

But maybe I'll come and put you out of your misery
One graceful day I'll set you free

Spitting teeth you know you've won
Just another punch and you'll be detonated
You never learned to back up and run
Just another push and you'll be dislocated

Mastering the art of self-deceit
Planting the apple seeds

For you we own this song
The saddest of them all
My own Human Cannonball
For you we own this song
Cause we know where you fall
My own Human Cannonball

Blessed are the silent and the meek
Another sound and they will knock you over
Don't ever show that you are weak
Just another round so they don't know you're broken

With the rope around your neck
You're dancing trough the air
With the ropes around your feet
As proud as you could ever be

Dead beat, shoving stuff into our shopping carts
But we don't know the credit-card's corner's cut
Empty our pockets down the same drain the paper-bills originally came from
Save me from basements and rooftops
Oh help me, I was buried under parking lots

Take a look into my eyes now
Take a look into the eyes of a ghost
Reach out for my hands now
Reach out for the hands of a ghost

Dead meat, we're a shareholder's dream of little babies with price tags on their foreheads
Gently hold my wrist and feel my pulse slowly fading to the background music
Save me from basements and rooftops
Oh help me, I was buried under parking lots

Take a look into my eyes now
Take a look into the eyes of a ghost
Reach out for my hands now
Reach out for the hands of a ghost

Slept on the sidewalk
I've never felt so cold
Slept on the sidewalk
I've never felt so cold

I'll come back for what I've left
I pay back a lifetime theft
I'll come back for what is mine
This life was just one out of nine

Take a look into my eyes now
Take a look into the eyes of a ghost
Reach out for my hands now
Reach out for the hands of a ghost
The eyes of a ghost
I'll come back for what is mine
This life was just one out of nine

We need a screaming headline
We need a hook for the storyline, Honey
I never thought it could go so wrong
But I was young and I needed the money

I didn't recognize you with your clothes on
Honey, put your clothes on
1,2,3,4,

Can you hear the seductive sirens?
Oo-oo-oo-oo-oo-oo-oo
Can you hear the atonal anthem?
Oo-oo-oo-oo-oo-oo-oo
Turn up your radio
Hear the call of black euro
Can you hear the atonal anthem?
Oo-oo-oo-oo-oo-oo-oo

They're sketching a monster
In the back of the limousine
Another cross for us to bear
Light it up with kerosene

I didn't recognize you with your mask off
Oh, take your mask off
1,2,3,4,

Oh holy labour, hold me close
You give me everything
I'm on my knees every time I hear your voice
You give me everything
Everything

Here I lay in a crashed car
No-one knows when I've left
Here I lay, staring at stars
But I know they're just satellites

The first aid kit 2x
It's useless
It's too late
It offers no help

I heard the sound of the sirens
Long gone in the distance a sweet sonnet
And I have seen no guardian angels
Well, I have my doubts if they even care

Take me to the hospital
Drive fast 'cause I am bleeding
Take me to the hospital
Drive fast 'cause I am bleeding

Snow falls through the windshield
I guess this time my fate is sealed
Here I'll lay forever
They'll find me under the autumn leaves

The first aid kit 2x
It's useless
It's too late
It offers no help

Take me to the hospital
Drive fast 'cause I am bleeding
Take me to the hospital
Drive fast 'cause I am bleeding

A time to raid
A time to conquer
The busses without passengers

Push it in,
Pin-cushion queen
Bleed red like no-one's ever seen
Now give it every single drop

This one goes for the fresh new blood, yeah
This one's not for the faint at heart, yeah
Another day, another new found lost soul
Another day, the fresh new blood still runs strong

Steer the wheel blindfolded
Following the compass nail
This road goes where you want it to go
This is the time you're in control
Now give it everything you've got

Sew up the seams
Stitches made with stable hands
Hold up and let you sleep
Sew up the seams
Stitches made with shaky hands
Hold up until they bleed

A time to raid
A time to conquer
The trains without passengers

Push it in,
Pin-cushion queen
Bleed red like no-one's ever seen
Give it everything you've got
Give it every single drop

I forgot to call
The matches need to dry
We need batteries for flashlights
We're waiting by the phone
Sharpening the knives
Make sure you lit the fuse right

Don't wait up, don't waste your time
Don't hold up on a dead phone line
Just make sure you lit the fuse right

Blow up the world
See if I care
Leave us to burn
See if I care
Blow up the world, leave us to burn
Make it a mess, I couldn't care less
Blow up the world
See if I care

I forgot to say
The world might end today
We can go and kick the streetlights
I'm all out of faith
A reason to sleep late
Make sure you lit the fuse right

Don't wait up, don't waste your breath
Don't make up, there's no time left
Just make sure you lit the fuse right

Don't waste the wine
When the sparks turn into flames
We all be passed out
We pass out
We pass out
Don't waste your time
When the coffin's sealed with nails
We'll all be passed out
We pass out
We pass out

I want to take you to my hotel-room
And show you my collection of stolen silver-spoons
I want explosions every single day
Just give me a minute and I'll be already on my way

I'm going to shake the dust off my shoes
I'm going to shake off the dust of this town

So long, my sisters
We'll never see again
We'll never kiss again
So long my brothers
We'll never see again
We'll never meet again

I want to shove you into my suitcase
Put you in to the back of my car with no license plates
I want to take you where the wind only goes
Say goodbye to the strangling ties and cardboard souls

I'm going to shake the dust off my shoes
I'm going to shake off the dust of this town

So long, my sisters
We'll never see again
We'll never kiss again
So long my brothers
We'll never see again
We'll never meet again

So long, my sisters, So long my brothers
Au revoir, all sons and daughters
So long, my sisters, So long my brothers
Au revoir, all sons and daughters
We are going to shake the dust off our shoes
We're going to shake off the dust of this town

They took our bodies
Now we gave our souls
They bought our minds
And now we're broke
The air makes
my skin turn pale
But I can feel you
on the Richter-scale

The revolution,
Well it makes me yawn
There's only the darkness
When you are gone

Don't ever go
You'll have to promise me
You're the only thing that's ever meant
something for me
Don't ever go
You are the dawn for me
I'm a mess but at least I'm yours to keep
You are the dawn

The economists
rant and drool
But all fortune
I really need is you

All the dress codes
really make me yawn
There's only the darkness
When you are gone

The city always sleeps
Light has abandoned
these pitch black streets
The city always sleeps
You have abandoned
these pitch black streets

Just one more round
And we're out of this place
Wish us the best of luck
We'll leave without a trace

There's a saying:
Dead or alive
I heard them saying:
Dead or alive

And then I nearly slept on the wheel
But your love kept me awake
And then I nearly blew all away
But your love kept me sane

Roll the windows down
Get the smoke out of our clothes
The fog has gathered over the road
Just like a ghost

And then I nearly slept on the wheel
But your love kept me awake
And then I nearly blew all away
But your love kept me sane
