Kings Of Leon Lyrics

Youth & Young Manhood (2003)

Talihina Sky lyrics - Kings Of Leon

Weeds blow tall on a broken train track

Ruth B. draws we're fixin' to get high

Maybe we'll hit the bluffs and find ourselves the same old rum

But everybody says this place is beautiful

And you'd be so crazy to say goodbye

But everything's the same this town is pitiful

And I'll be gettin' out as soon as I can fly

Life goes by on a Talihina sky

The hopped up boys are lookin' for their trouble

The knocked up girls, well they've all got their share

Ruth seems out of her mind, swears she won't give in this time

Red Morning Light lyrics - Kings Of Leon

You know you could've been a wonder

Takin' your circus to the sky

You couldn't take it on the tight rope

No you had to take it on the side

You always like it undercover

Tucked in between your dirty sheets

But no one's even done nuttin' to ya

In between the hollers and the screams

And I said nah nah hey hey

Another dirty bird ain't givin' out a taste

In the black of the night till the red morning light

You got your cozy little corner

All night you're jammin' on your feet

Hangin' out just like a street sign

And put a twenty dollar trick

I hear you're blowin' like a feather

And then they rub it in your face

Oh once they've had all their fun hun

You're at the bottom of the cage

And I said nah nah hey hey

Another dirty bird ain't giving out a taste

In the black of the night till the red morning light

And I said nah nah hey hey you're givin' all your cinnamon away

That's not right

[Solo]

Hey hey another dirty bird ain't givin' out a taste

Uh hey keep on givin' away and givin' it away (givin' it away)

Hey hey you're givin' all your cinnamon away

Hey hey you're givin' all your cinnamon away

Happy Alone lyrics - Kings Of Leon

On our way, so it seems, blooming flowers waltz before me

Rollin' numbers, passing time, got to get outside the city,

In the morning all will see, just how crazy young love can be

On our own away again, don't get down my darlin'

I'm gonna tangle my face hair, it's gonna tickle your daughter

3 o'clock and the moaning, they all cry to me,

I'll be prancin' around in my high heels, and your cherry red lipstick,

Look out your window i'm on your street

Miles away, so unclear, almost lost it in Montana

Lets pull over, have us a choke

I love to watch you when your dancin'

I wonder if they ever dream, they would get just what we gave them

All wrapped up in 19, chasin' stars that are fallin'

[Chorus]

When that train heads home,

They're gonna be so gone gone, you aint never gonna see me

Im a gone gone, you aint nothin to me

When they shine them streets, they're gonna find our song

[Chorus x2]

I'm on your street , they all cry to me

Wasted Time lyrics - Kings Of Leon

It's your life

Don't you let em tell you when to bat your eyes

You're the only one who's gonna sacrifice

Makes no difference if you're right or wrong

Take that ride

But I want your little sister by your side

Maybe little later we can all collide

Do our livin' like a rollin' stone

Time on me is wasted time

Time on me is wasted time

Time on me is wasted time

Time on me is wasted

[Chorus:]

Innocent smile

Runnin' free

Baby's gonna give it like it used to be

Show your face

Livin' in the shadows like you got no name

Enough to make a little girly go insane

Be my guest to let it out tonight

It's ok

I know all about the little games you play

Shakin' your apple right in my face

Only when you know that I'm beggin' fort a bite

Time on me is wasted time

Time on me is wasted time

Time on me is wasted time

Time on me is wasted

[Repeat Chorus x2]

So won't you show your face (show your face)

Your little apple shake (show your face)

I know the love you gave (show your face)

I know the love you take (show your face)

[Repeat Chorus]

Time on me is wasted time

Time on me is wasted time

Time on me is wasted time

Time on me is wasted

Joe's Head lyrics - Kings Of Leon

Blistered cracked and bleeding

Cold no one should know

Rain falls down a freezing

And sticking like a snow

Lingering suspicions

Screaming in my head

Lies all mixed up with omissions

Aw welcome home again

It's too late for apologies they're falling at my feet

This is just the way of the world Joe said

I had to put a bullet into his head

Then lit up a cigarette

Decided to call his fat friend Fred

Well he said Fred I just killed a man

Caught him laying with my girlfriend

Now they're both dead, people can be so cold when they're dead

Calling all the neighbors

Time to make amends

Whiskey floods the table

Aw good friends 'til the end

They're making silly faces and it's tasting bitter sweet

This is just the way of the world Joe said

I had to put a bullet into his head

Then lit up a cigarette

Decided to call his fat friend Fred

Well he said Fred I just killed a man

Caught him laying with my girlfriend

Now they're both dead, people can be so cold when they're dead

Trani lyrics - Kings Of Leon

Dirty belly of a secret town

Cheap trick hookers that are hanging out at the bar in the Greyhound station

And the bare-chested boys are going down on every thing that the momma believes

Pack of smokes and a little bump of cocaine, help you feel not so strange

[Chorus]

Said old Pa, "She don't get off, unless somebody standing near her."

"And she'll shine, once she's crossed the line, cause all tied to the chair."

I said, "Lay it now on the ground, throw in a white noise sound, like a tranny on a ten."

All the bubbas got their heads in a nod,

they don't know what they love or deserve to get

Chances are they tab their worm in a slab,

doesn't even know which fish that he like to bite tonight, ah tonight, tonight, tonight

[Chorus]

Ah maybe tonight

Said old Pa, "She don't get off, unless somebody standing near her."

"And she'll shine, once she's crossed the line, hands all tied to the chair."

I said, "Lay it now on the ground, throw in a white noise sound, like a tranny on a ten."

Comes home on call, isn't that peace,

fingers in the dirt, and he's spitting out his teeth

He's spitting out his teeth

I said, "Lay it on the ground, throw in a white noise sound, like a tranny on a ten." [Repeated]

California Waiting lyrics - Kings Of Leon

Little Mona Lisa laying by my side

"Crimson and Clover" pullin' overtime

Seem too close to be losin' touch

By givin' in, what am I givin' up

Am I losin' way too much

Hey

California waiting

Every little thing's gotta be just right

Say

While you're tryin' to save me

Can't I get back my lonely life

I'm goin' so fast that I can't slow down

It's hard to get up when you're spinnin' round and round

I'd tell you the news but nothin's changed

I'd sing you a song but they blew it away

All wrapped up in this stupid ass game

Hey

California waiting

Every little thing's gotta be just right

Say

While you're tryin' to save me

Can't I get back my lonely life

Can't I get back my lonely life

Spiral Staircase lyrics - Kings Of Leon

Spiral Staircase goin' down,

Paint your body red and brown,

On our knees, we'll feast on tha sex show.

Spiral Staircase! Spiral Staircase!

Greasy haircuts, a German Chinese girl,

Is gone keep ya'll busy, tuggin' at my curl,

A get your ass together,

You better walk, walk, walk, a by walking, we cannot run!

A they all came to party, and there's four to every stall,

It gets frus-ta-ratin', a just a pissin' on this wall,

Seems like there's another story bangin',

Around every step you fake.

Spiral Staircase goin' down,

Paint your body red and brown,

On our knees, we'll feast on a sex show.

Spiral Staircase! Spiral Staircase!

A they all came to party, and there's four to every stall,

It gets frus-ta-ratin', a just a pissin' on this wall,

Seems like there's another story bangin',

Around every step you fake.

Molly's Chambers lyrics - Kings Of Leon

Free- is all that she could bleed

That's why'll she'll never stay

White- bare naked in the night

Just lookin' for some play

Just another girl that wants to rule the world

Any time or place

And when she gets into your head

You know she's there to stay

You want it

She's got it

Molly's Chambers gonna change your mind

She's got your

Your pistol

Slow- She's burnin' in your soul

With whispers in your ear

It's okay I'll give it anyway

Just get me out of here

You'll plead- you'll get down on your knees

For just another taste

And when you think she's let you in

That's when she fades away

You want it

She's got it

Molly's Chambers gonna change your mind

She's got your

Your pistol

Genius lyrics - Kings Of Leon

Everybody wants to be a showman

Yeah they all got another one

Everybody thinks they got a genius

Everybody got me on the run

Sometimes I think they come here

Just so you can say that you can

And I can't get alone in my bathroom

I need to give myself a hand

Ya'll cuh-cuh-cuh-creepin'

Creepin' underneath my skin

Fuck you and your flashbulbs

Snappin' my picture again

You drank all my whiskey

You stole all my smoke

And you're crowded all around me

Like I got nowhere to go

Eyes are gonna roll back

I'm here to kill

Time for you to go

I'm-a-gon' spill

It ain't yo fast train

I'll be the king runnin' near the wheel

I ain't lookin' to make no deals here no

You keep stickin' to me like a prickly porcupine

You're gettin' your information from the grocery checkout line

Are you through confessin' of your little girl obsession

'Cause I was only messin' and I had a little time

Dusty lyrics - Kings Of Leon

Dusty and you are, dirty from chain

Lips of your kisses are sticking like tape

Woke you at sunrise, cold as a grave

I'll cut you some flowers, now don't be afraid

Now don't be afraid

[Chorus]

I'm looking for something, just sink in my teeth without any crying

But I can't find no place or nothing, where thrills are cheap and love is divine

Home by the river, tall grass and fields, pond of willow oak, well for to kneel

Dusty O Dusty, decision night, don't be so pretty, all laced up in white, all laced up in white

[Repeat Chorus 3x]

Where thrills are cheap, and love's divine [3x]

Holy Roller Novocaine lyrics - Kings Of Leon

My darling you look lovely

I've come to lay you down

Uncover your head and submit to me

We'll make a joyful sound

I don't care if you're by yourself

Or you're all alone when you need my help

Keep that smile on your pretty face

Cause you don't have much I can't take away

[Chorus:]

Don't you worry baby

You won't feel a thing

Close your eyes

Holy Roller Novocaine

Lord's gonna get us back [x4]

I know, I know

Lord's gonna get us back [x4]

I know, I know

You'll be hearin' me comin'

But I can't come inside

I'll be out back in my white Cadillac

Won't you join me for a ride

Let me take you up to the mountain top

There I'll show all the goods I got

Don't look back keep your eyes ahead

This could be the night that the moon goes red

[Repeat Chorus]

All the world is moanin'

And baby so am I

I'm just givin' you warning

And I'm telling you why

Lord's gonna get us back [x4]

I know, I know

Lord's gonna get us back [x4]

I know, I know

Lord's gonna get us back [x4]

I know, I know

Lord's gonna get us back [x4]

I know, I know

Going Nowhere lyrics - Kings Of Leon

Sweet ocean liner, come and anchor down

Sea of forgiveness, see what I have found

It's long and lanky, awkward at times

I'm going nowhere if you get the time

And it's a long hard road 'til I can get to you

And I'll be holding on, hoping the sun comes shining through

I'm going nowhere if you get the time

I'm going nowhere, you're on my mind

I took to driving, see what I would find

A place in history, a little peace of mind

I know what you're thinking, I know just what you mean

I'll never be whole again until I get clean

And it's a long hard road 'til I can get to you

And I'll be holding on hoping the sun comes shining through

I'm going nowhere if you get the time

I'm going nowhere, you're on my mind

I'm going nowhere. Won't you stop by?

I'm going nowhere if you get the time

I'm going nowhere if you get the time

I'm going nowhere, you're on my mind

I'm going nowhere. Won't you stop by?

I'm going nowhere if you get the time

My Third House lyrics - Kings Of Leon

How many souls will it take

How many necks will you break

I say, how many bones can I waste

In that little old shape

I say, hey, I'm sober from a bar

But you don't drive me

Showed you my car

But I don't drive

Let me get away

On a holiday

We could, tire the ones we know

Gonna tie right on

I say, hey, I'm sober from a bar

But you don't drive me

Show you my car

But I don't drive

Tell the idiot yeah

Running down my back

We could, see the devils in town

Like the slow fall down

I say, hey, I'm sober from a bar

But you don't drive me

I showed you my car

But I don't drive

I said, hey, I'm taken it back

Like you don't know

You drove me away

When you don't know

Let me get away

On a holiday

We could, tire the ones we know

Gonna tie right on

I say, hey, I'm sober from a bar

But you don't drive me

Show you my car

But I don't drive

Southbound lyrics - Kings Of Leon

Come on down and dance,

If you get the chance,

We're gonna steal on arrival.

All I wanna know,

Is how far you wanna go,

Fighting for survival.

Underneath the stars,

Where we parked the cars,

Ain't showing signs of stopping.

Pretty little girls,

Naked to their curves,

Ready to let the car run.

If you wanna go,

I'm gonna go,

I gotta fire burning.

Come on take my hand,

Hope you see your man,

Baby's gonna be a weird one.

Baby's gonna be a weird one.

If you see the lights,

and we hear the fights,

It's gonna be a stunner.

I've got something here,

If you give me one more beer,

I'm gonna call a runner.

I don't want to say,

What I have to say,

If I'm a' kicking off now.

If you wanna go,

I'm gonna go,

I'm going back down southbound.

I'm going back down southbound.

I'm going back down southbound.

If you wanna go,

I'm going back down southbound.

Go on take my hand,

I'm going back down southbound.

Wait 'til you see the light,

And we hear those fights,

I'm going back down southbound.

I don't want to know,

How far you wanna go,

I'm going back down southbound.

I'm going back down southbound.

I'm going back down southbound.

I'm going back down southbound.

I'm going back down southbound.

Oh, yeah.

I'm going back down southbound.

Wicker Chair lyrics - Kings Of Leon

In your little white wicker chair
Unsuspecious nobody cares for you
You're so fucked up again
You laugh at nothin' in the pouring rain
Try to tell yourself you're not insane
You fool, I hate you sometimes

Hey, you know it ain't coincidental that you're lost in place
It's drippin' off your face, and you're losin' your precious mind

Send me a postcard if you get that far
You got a couple pennies in your rusty jar
The truth you've been gone for awhile
It's hard lookin' at you when you look that way
With your one night stands and your sleep all days
Ooh you're such a slut sometimes

Hey, you know it ain't coincidental that you're lost in place
It's drippin' off your face, and you're losin' your precious mind

You're losing your mind
