La Roux

We can fight our desires
Ooooh but when we start making fires
We get ever so hot
Ooooh whether we like it or not
They say we can love who we trust
But what is love without lust?
Two hearts with accurate devotions
Oooh but what are feelings without emotions?

I'm going in for the kill
I'm doing it for a thrill
I'm hoping you'll understand
and not let go of my hand
I'm going in for the kill
I'm doing it for a thrill
I'm hoping you'll understand
and not let go of my hand

I hang my hopes out on the line
Oooh will they be ready for you in time?
If you leave them out too long
Oooh they'll be withered by the sun
Full stops and exclamation marks
Ooh my words stumble before I start
How far can you send emotions?
Can this bridge cross the ocean?

I'm going in for the kill
I'm doing it for a thrill
I'm hoping you'll understand
and not let go of my hand

I'm going in for the kill
I'm doing it for a thrill
I'm hoping you'll understand
and not let go of my hand



Let's go to war
To make peace
Let's be cold
To create heat
I hope in darkness
We can see
And you're not blinded
By the light from me

Oooooh Oooooh Oooooh Oooooh Ooooooooooh

I'm going in for the kill
I'm doing it for a thrill
I'm hoping you'll understand
and not let go of my hand

Oooh Oooh Oooh Oooh
Oooh Oooh Oooh Oooh

I'm the obsessor
Holding your hand
It seems you have forgotten
About your man
Alone in the darkness
My bed's a different land
Your touch intensifies
And I'm in the Quicksand
I'm in the Quicksand
I'm in the Quicksand

You're the upsetter
Stroking my hand
What's my position?
I don't understand
Am I your possession?
Am I in demand?
Oh when you turn to me
I'm in the Quicksand
I'm in the Quicksand
I'm in the Quicksand

You, you moved into my mind again Oooh
You, you're walking around rent free Oooh
Oh, I could let you stay
But I'm walking on broken ground again
Oh, oh, when will I learn?
All you do is push me back in the dirt

Ooooh Oooooh Ooooh ooooh
Oooh Ooooh Ooooh ooooh
Ooooh Oooooh Ooooh ooooh
Oooh Ooooh Ooooh ooooh

I'm in the Quicksand
Oooh oooh ooooh ooooh ooooh ooooh
Oooh Ooooh

I'm in the Quicksand

My heart, it melts like plastic
I fell through the hole yesterday
Your smile pulled me in like elastic
I felt my mind detonate

Oh, I make mistakes
And you just say it's growing pains
When I feel ashamed
You tell me it's just growing pains

We broke in two like a matchstick
It burns in my soul every day
Every day
Your world was to me so fantastic
And hell seemed so far away
Far away

Oh, I've made mistakes
And you just say it's growing pains
When I feel ashamed
You tell me it's just growing pains
When I'm crying out for change
You tell me it's just growing pains
And oh, I've made mistakes
And yes, I know it's growing pains

The truth, it feels like concrete
I drove into its walls yesterday
I wish I could be realistic
But like children
My dreams run away

I know I've made mistakes
You say it's growing pains
And when I feel ashamed
You say it's growing pains
When I'm crying out for change
You say it's growing pains
I know I made mistakes
And I know it's growing pains

Oh, I've made mistakes
And you just say it's growing pains
When I feel ashamed
You tell me it's just growing pains
When I'm crying out for change
And oh, I've made mistakes
And yes, I know it's growing pains

You pull on your Armour
And put up defences
Why do you want to?
Because I'm here to protect you
So take it easy
I'll make it so easy
You can lay your head down
And we'll leave it til tomorrow
You seem to believe you belong to somebody else
When you leave me alone in this world
You know that I'm in hell
When you know what it's like
To be lonely and by yourself

When your life is tangled
You wear your disguises
But why do you need to
When I'm standing here beside you?

You can lay your head down
And we'll leave it til tomorrow

You seem to believe you belong to somebody else
When you leave me alone in this world
You know that I'm in hell
When you know what it's like
To be lonely and by yourself

Slipping through my fingers
And into another's
Tell me why won't you turn back?

You seem to believe you belong to somebody else
(You know what it's like you shouldn't have to be told)
When you leave me alone in this world
You know that I'm in hell
(It's hard enough when you're alone in the world)
When you know what it's like
To be lonely and by yourself

Please
Please be my light-filter
Shine, make me a shelter
To hide, 'cause love makes you lose your sight
And now the search party's on its way
And the floodlights on my face
All the shadows that I walk in
Arch my volatile second skin

My reflections are protection
They will keep me from destruction
My directions are distractions
When you're ready, come into the light

Lines
Design a pathway
Shine, cut out the dark shapes
To find
Although I really tried
Only time is a lover's guide
And now the railings fall away
And the stencils draw a face
Our outlines in the sunset
Are just a fragile silhouette

My reflections are protection
They will keep me from destruction
My directions are distractions
When you're ready, come into the light

My reflections are protection
They will keep me from destruction
My directions are distractions
When you leave me, I'll go back to hide
