Only By The Night (2008)












Closer lyrics - Kings Of Leon

Stranded in this spooky town
Stoplights are swaying and the phone lines are down
Floor is crackling cold
She took my heart, I think she took my soul
With the moon I run
Far from the carnage of the fiery sun

Driven by the strangle of vein
Showing no mercy I'd do it again
Open up your eyes
You keep on crying, baby I'll bleed you dry
Skies are blinking at me
I see a storm bubbling up from the sea

And it's coming closer
And it's coming closer

You shimmy-shook my bone
Leaving me stranded all in love on my own
Do you think of me?
Where am I now, baby where do I sleep?
Feels so good but I'm old
2000 years of chasing taking its toll

And it's coming closer
And it's coming closer
And it's coming closer
And it's coming closer

Crawl lyrics - Kings Of Leon

You fault my pride
Don't ever need to 'pologize
As your lips unfold
Shaken purple from the cold

You better learn to crawl
You better learn to crawl
Before I walk away
Before I walk away

You broke my mouth
The bloody bits are spitting out
Is your grave unscathed
The worm is counting down the days

He wants to see you crawl
He wants to see you crawl
Before I walk away
Before I walk away

The reds and the whites and abused
The crucified USA
As their hypocrisy unfolds
Oh hell is truly on its way

As the rat, and the fly
They're searching for an alibi
As we await the wrath
They never went to Sunday Mass

They want to see us crawl
They want to see us crawl
Before they walk away
Before they walk away

The reds and the whites and abused
The crucified USA
As their hypocrisy unfolds
Oh hell is truly on its way

Sex On Fire lyrics - Kings Of Leon

Lay where you're laying
Don't make a sound
I know they're watching
They're watching

All the commotion
The kiddie-like play
It has people talking
Talking

You
Your sex is on fire

The dark of the alley
The breaking of day
Head while I'm driving
I'm driving

Soft lips are open
Them knuckles are pale
Feels like you're dying
You're dying

You
Your sex is on fire
Consumed
With what's just transpired

Hot as a fever
Rattle of bones
I could just taste it
Taste it

If this not forever
If this just tonight
Oh we're still the greatest
The greatest
The greatest

You
Your sex is on fire

You
Your sex is on fire
Consumed
With what's just transpired

And you
Your sex is on fire
Consumed
With what's just transpired

Use Somebody lyrics - Kings Of Leon

I've been roaming around
Always looking down at all I see
Painted faces, fill the places I can't reach

You know that I could use somebody
You know that I could use somebody

Someone like you, and all you know, and how you speak
Countless lovers under cover of the street

You know that I could use somebody
You know that I could use somebody
Someone like you

Off in the night, while you live it up, I'm off to sleep
Waging wars to shape the poet and the beat
I hope it's gonna make you notice
I hope it's gonna make you notice

Someone like me
Someone like me
Someone like me, somebody

I'm ready now [x7]

Someone like you, somebody [x3]

I've been roaming around
Always looking down at all I see

Manhattan lyrics - Kings Of Leon

I like to dance all night,
summons the day,
but that's how I play,
yeah that's how I play,
I said who are you?
don't matter who you are,
so we dance all night,
and dance all day

I say,
I say

We're gonna fuel the fire,
gonna stoke it up,
we're gonna sip this wine,
and pass the cup,
who needs avenues,
who needs reservoirs,
we're gonna show this town,
how to kiss these stars

I say,
I say

We're gonna hunt the kill,
gonna skin the hide
a yelp and scream,
and away I ride,
and every drop that spills,
on every plot of ground,
it's all for you,
for what you've found

I say,
I say,
I say,
I say

It's gonna take your head,
and gonna drive you home,
It's gonna keep on, keep on, keep on,
and then forever roam

Revelry lyrics - Kings Of Leon

What a night for a dance, you know I'm a dancing machine
With the fire in my bones
And the sweet taste of kerosene
I get lost in the night so high don't wanna come down
To face the loss of the good thing that I have found

Woo hoo hoooo
Woo hoo hoooo

In the dark of the night I can hear you calling my name
With the hardest of hearts, I still feel full of pain
So I drink and I smoke and I ask you if you're ever around
even though it was me who drove us right in the ground

See the time we shared it was precious to me
But all the while I was dreaming of revelry

Born to run, baby run like a stream down a mountainside
With the wind in my back I wont ever even bat an eye
Just know it was you all along who had a hold of my heart
But the demon in me was a best friend from the start

So the time we shared it was precious to me
All the while I was dreaming of revelry
Dreaming of revelry

And I told myself oh the way you go it rained so hard it felt like snow
Everything came tumbling down on me
In the back of the woods, in the dark of the night
Paleness of the old moonlight
Everything just felt so incomplete

Dreaming of revelry [x4]

17 lyrics - Kings Of Leon

Oh she's only seventeen
Whine whine whine, weep over everything
Bloody Mary breakfast busting up the street
Brothers fighting, when's the baby gonna sleep
Heaving ship too sails away
Said it's a culmination of a story and a goodbye session
It's a tick of our time and the tic in her head that made me feel so strange
So I could call you baby, I could call you, dammit, it's a one in a million
Oh it's the rolling of your Spanish tongue that made me wanna stay

Oh she's only seventeen
Whine whine whine, weep over everything
Bloody Mary breakfast busting up the street
Brothers fighting, when's the baby gonna sleep
Heaving ship too sails away
Said it's a culmination of a story and a goodbye session
It's a tick of our time and the tic in her head that made me feel so strange
Said I could call you baby, I could call you, dammit, it's a one in a million
Oh it's the rolling of her Spanish tongue that made me wanna stay

I could call you baby, I could call you, dammit, it's a one in a million
Oh it's the rolling of your Spanish tongue that made me wanna stay

Notion lyrics - Kings Of Leon

I got a notion that says it doesn't feel right
Got the answer in your story today
You gave me a sign that didn't feel right

So don't knock it, don't knock it, you been here before
So don't knock it, don't knock it, you been here before

I just wanted to know if i could go home
Been rambling day after day
Everyone says they don't know

So don't knock it, don't knock it, you been there before
So don't knock it, don't knock it, you been there before

I got a notion that says it doesn't feel right
I just wanted to know if i could go home

So don't knock it, don't knock it, you been there before
So don't knock it, don't knock it, you been there before

I Want You lyrics - Kings Of Leon

Get back on track, pick me up some bottles of booze
Fickle freshman, probably thinks he's cooler than you
A hay ride at 5, everybody's coming around
So go press your skirt, word is there's a new girl in town

I call shotgun, you can play your RnB tunes
The fellowship time, it always comes a little too soon
The land of the creeps, freshened up and babyfaced shame
Put your eyes on me, and I know a place where we can get away

To say I want you, just 'zactly like I used to
'Cause baby this is only bringing me down

Homeboy's so proud, he finally got the video proof
The night vision shows she was only ducking the truth
It's heavy I know, the black guy with the gift down below
A choke and a gag, she spit up and came back for more

And said I want you, just 'zactly like i used to
And baby this is only bringing me down
She said I want you
I want you, just 'zactly like i used to
And baby this is only bringing me down
I said I want you, just 'zactly like i used to
And baby this is only bringing me down

Be Somebody lyrics - Kings Of Leon

Taking to the floor with the wheel to the sky
I loosen my tie, I loosen my tie
Locking down the door with the rhythm and rhyme
I loosen my tie, I loosen my tie

Trying to recall what you want me to say
I shake it your way, I shake it your way
Counting on the night for a beautiful day
I shake it your way, I shake it your way
And I say you can't get enough
No you can't get enough

Given a chance, I'm gonna be somebody
If for one dance, I'm gonna be somebody
Open the door, it's gonna make you love me
Facing the floor, I'm gonna be somebody

Now is your time and you know where you stand
With a gun in your hand, with a gun in your hand
Now I'm no longer an ordinary man
Was this your big plan, your gun in your hand
And I say you can't get enough
No you can't get enough

Given a chance, I'm gonna be somebody
If for one dance, I'm gonna be somebody
Open the door, it's gonna make you love me
Facing the floor, I'm gonna be somebody

Be somebody
Be somebody

Cold Desert lyrics - Kings Of Leon

I'm on the corner, waiting for a light to come on
That's when I know that you're alone
It's cold in the desert, water never sees the ground
Special unspoken without sound

Told me you loved me, that I'd never die alone
Hand over your heart, let's go home
Everyone noticed, everyone has seen the signs
I've always been known to cross lines

I've never ever cried when I was feeling down
I've always been scared of the sound
Jesus don't love me, no one ever carried my load
I'm too young to feel this old

Here's to you, here's to me
On to us, nobody knows, nobody sees
Nobody but me

Frontier City lyrics - Kings Of Leon

Find yourself a new frontier
Cause life is going, going gone
Fly yourself away from here into the clear
Before it's going, going, gone

Say it loud and in the light
For it's going, going gone
Shake the hands, the hands that pick,
pick the fight
Cause life is going, going gone

Yes I'll find you and cut you down
Friends and neighbours, sleepy town
If you wake up before the blow
Pick your face up
We come, we go
We live until we live no more

Travel with the dead black eye
Before it's come and come and gone
Cradles and rocking chairs beneath the light
Before it's come and come and gone

Yes I'll find you and cut you down
Friends and neighbours, sleepy town
If you wake up before the blow
Pick your face up
We come, and go
We come and go, go
We come and go, go

Beneath The Surface lyrics - Kings Of Leon

Degrade me, my purpose
Bury me beneath the surface

I'm scratching, I'm clawing
Trying hard to make them pay

Can't stand me, beside me
Kid you not, your kiss sure killed me

The cold of my barrel
Never sees the light of day

Call me, call me, you could only hurt the story
Call me, call me, I'll be there to shine a light

The smell on the speakers
Sweaty ballroom dancing fever

They gather in numbers
Ever for a closer view

The cease fire the weaker
Hair so red I couldn't keep her

The dogs hound the neighbours
Everything was blown away

Call me, call me, you could only hurt the story
Call me, call me, I'll be there to shine a light

Machine, machines, point me to the nearest party
You'll see, you'll see, baby it's the only way

Call me, call me, you could only
Call me, call me, I'll be there

Machines, machines, point me to the nearest party

Because Of The Times (2007)












Knocked Up lyrics - Kings Of Leon

I don't care what nobody says
We're gonna have a baby
Taking off in a coupe De ville
She buckled up on navy
She don't care what her mama said, no
She's gonna have my baby
I'm taking all i have to take
This takings gonna shape me

People call us renegades
'cause we like living crazy
We like taking on the town
Some people getting lazy

I don't care what nobody says, no
I'm going to be her lover
Always mad and usually drunk
But I love her like no other

And the doctor seems to say he don't know
Where we're gonna go?
I'm a ghost and I don't think I quite know
Where we're gonna go?
Where we're gonna go?

People call us renegades
Feel like we're living crazy
We like taking on the town
Some people getting lazy

I don't care what nobody says, no
I'm going to be her lover
Always mad and usually drunk
But I love her like no other

And the doctor seems to say he don't know
Where we're gonna go?
I'm a ghost and I don't think I quite know
Where we're gonna go?
Where we're gonna go?
Where we're gonna go?
Where we're gonna go?
Where?

They gonna call us renegades, woah, oh, oh
Feel like we're living on this town, woah, oh, oh
Woah, oh, oh, woah, oh, oh

And I don't care if you don't win

I don't care what nobody says
We're gonna have a baby
Taking off in a coupe De ville
She buckled up on navy
She don't care what her mama said, no
She's gonna have my baby
I'm taking all I have to take
This takings gonna shape me

Woah, oh, oh, woah, oh, oh

Charmer lyrics - Kings Of Leon

On Call lyrics - Kings Of Leon

She said call me now baby, and I'd come a running.
She said call me now baby, and I'd come a running.
If you'd call me now, baby then I'd come a running.

I'm on call, to be there.
One and all, to be there.
And When I fall, to pieces.
Lord you know, I'll be there waiting.

To be there.
To be there.

I'm on call, to be there.
One and all, to be there.
And When I fall, to pieces.
Lord you know, I'll be there waiting.

I'm gon' brawl, so be there.
One for all, I'll be there.
And when they fall, to pieces.
Lord you know, I'll be there laughing.

I'd come a running.
I'd come a running.
I'd come a running.

To be there.
To be there.

I'm on call, to be there.
I'm on call, to be there.
I'm on call, to be there.
I'm on call, to be there.

McFearless lyrics - Kings Of Leon

Strain living with a name
They get the best of me
But I'm no walker away
No complaint
I got much to gain
so they keep testing me
And I keep feeding their face
They could go off and hit the road
What would I care?
hell i ain't going nowhere
I got the reigns and courage I was made of
And they've got fake love

So I know I must show
It's my show
I must go
With my soul
Not my hand
Where I stand
It's my role
It's my soul

Pearls and necklaces and girls
and all the pretty things I ain't seeking to have
It's safe to say if I don't get this out of me I might quite easily
End up dead or just mad
Cross my t's and try to dot my i's
But that's just blinding me and I ain't living that way
I roll my sleeves and make a better man of me
Or I might easily
Just give up on this show

It's my show
I must go
With my soul
Not my hand
Where I stand
It's my role
It's my soul

I must show
It's my show
I must go
With my soul
Not my hand
Where I stand
It's my role
It's my soul

It's my show [2x]

Black Thumbnail lyrics - Kings Of Leon

My cold, cold sailor heart says get on your way
I ain't to proud to say but thats how I'm made.
I'll be that person 'til my dying day
I try so awful hard, but I can't change.

From runways to the road, I ramble alone
This thumbnail sized of a heart is black as coal
Your beauty, it still brings me to my knees
Don't waste a tear on me, this is my disease

[Chorus:]
Don't leave no smell on me
Don't leave no smell on me
I'll blow off in your sleep
Don't leave no smell on me

Those preppy boys in blue
They're making fun of us
So we take it to the streets
'cause we want to be first
But we're not here to make your children bleed
We're here to come around with the tumble weed

[Chorus]

Don't take these boots off me when you're thinking I'm dead
I'll still be running from the demon in my head
I'll be that person 'til my dying day
I try so awful hard, but I can't change

[Chorus]

Don't leave no...

My Party lyrics - Kings Of Leon

It's raining an old yellow
And it’s carving a path
So now we’re on our way

It’s taking us some journeys
While we wipe away frowns in the most crowded place
Say why you never call me man you never seem to call now that I’m OK
I’ll beat you in the end and every time you turn around here comes the coming of age

Oh she saw my party
She saw my party
Oh she saw my party
She saw my party

I cock and load my mergers when you question my mood
Cause you ain’t got no taste
You talking bout my baby I could flip you upside down
And I could mop this place

Say why you never sorry no you never seen my calling right in front your face
I smoke you in the end and don’t you ever turn around cause it’s that coming of age

Oh she saw my party
She saw my party

Oh she saw my party
She saw my party
Oh she saw my party
She saw my party
Oh she saw my party
She saw my party

Oh
Oh

Oh she saw my party
Oh she saw my party
Oh she saw my party
She saw my party
Oh she saw my party
She saw my party
Oh she saw my party
She saw my party
Oh she saw my party
She saw my party
Oh she saw my party
She saw my party
Oh she saw my party
She saw my party

True Love Way lyrics - Kings Of Leon

I want in, like a substitute
I've been working awful hard for you
But you don't say, you just hold your breath
So I can't touch what I haven't yet
She's a poor one and it hurts me so
And it's a dark path and a heck of a cold
And she can feel me like she did before

Oh we'd be so free
Happy alone
Sharing a smile
So far from home

Push in and I pull it away
It's a hard part but the true love way
Girl you're wanted like a wanted man
With your smart mouth and your killer hands
We could both share all that I have made
For a young man it's a heck of a wage
And I feel crazy when I see your face

Cause we'd be so free
Happy alone
Sharing a smile
So far from home
And we would laugh
Laugh till we cry
Making a song
Making me lie

People say our babies are walking this town
People say our babies are walking this town
People say our babies are just wandering around
People say our babies are walking

And we'd be so free
Happy alone
Sharing a smile
So far from home
And we would laugh
Laugh till we cry
Making a song
Making me lie
Happy alone

Ragoo lyrics - Kings Of Leon

I want to say it's to me to change the world
Now I want to play 'til they kicking down the door
Now I'll be alright as long as I ain't seen it all
Now I'm gonna hold you tight to that night we had a ball
We had a ball

Here's to the kids out there smoking in the streets
They're way too young but I'm way too old to preach
They know it all but they still ain't seen the truth
Just play my song and I'll show it all to you

Either way you caught me whilst a lying
You caught me whilst a lying
You caught me with my pants down

My papa's slave had to go and fight the war
He'd beat 'em all then he took 'em all to court
My papa called and he said, "D'you remember me?"
Now he's working awful hard in his factory

Either way you caught me whilst a lying
You caught me whilst a lying
You caught me with my pants down

We ain't even been to the ocean
We been running barefoot this spring
We been running barefoot through this spring
We ain't even been to the ocean

Fans lyrics - Kings Of Leon

Homegrown
Rock to the rhythm and bop to the beat of the radio
You ain't got the slang but you've got the face to play the roll
You can play with me

And all the bros
Try for the courage
And try for Charity's tight clothes
She's got a hat
And all the hat says is asshole
She'll be bobbing to me

Pretty hairdos
And those lipstick kisses
Blown yeah, that's the right move
Make me feel like I'm the one who moves you
The only one you see

Now take me down
Don't you let those tears quench the thirsty ground
Don't you be so scared that you can't make a sound
Make a sound for me

All of London sing
'cause England swings and they sure love the tales I bring
Those rainy days they ain't so bad when you're the King, the King they wanna see

Homegrown
(so) Rock to the rhythm and bop to the beat of the radio
You ain't got the slang but you have the face to play the roll
You can play with me

Pretty hairdos
And those lipstick kisses
And all you asked for is ragoo
Make me feel like I'm the one who moving you
The only one you see

All of London sing
'cause England swings and they sure love the tales I bring
Those rainy days they ain't so bad when you're the King, the King they wanna be

The Runner lyrics - Kings Of Leon

Hard times as we go
We know what times will change
I talked to Jesus
Jesus says I'm okay

Pushing and jumping
Jumping the mountain range
And in a railroad
Railroad from Hell to Maine

While she says she's on her own
I'll be pacing on the phone
Taking numbers, taking names

Awful sick and tired of the game
She comes from nothing
Hoping for a taste of fame
She's got a birthmark
A birthmark the shape of Maine

While she says she's on her own
I'll be pacing on the phone
Taking numbers, taking names

Awful sick and tired of the game
And it's cold and it's cold and it's cold and it's cold when you're near
Cold when you're near any bottle
And it's cold and it's cold and it's cold when you're near
Cold when you're near any bottle
And it's cold and it's cold and it's cold when you're near
Cold when you're near any bottle

Hard times as we go
We know where times will change
I talk to Jesus
Jesus everyday

Hard times as we go

Trunk lyrics - Kings Of Leon

Well I got
What she wants
Ah her nose
A tied knot
I got one mile to go
On down the road
On down the road

Well she got
What I want
And she knows
What I'm not
And I got one mile to go
On down the road
On down the road

She sang:
Whooooooo
Whooooooo
Whooooooo
Whooooooo

She got
What I want
And she knows
What I'm not
And I got one mile to go
On down the road
On down the road

She sang:
Whooooooo
Whooooooo
Whooooooo
Whooooooo

Whooooooo
Whooooooo
Whooooooo
Whooooooo
Whooooooo
Whooooooo
Whooooooo

Camaro lyrics - Kings Of Leon

She look so cool in her new Camaro
It's black as coal and it goes boy, go go go
I brought my fight next to her Camaro
And when I fire on a smile then she blows, she blows

I'm makin eyes through my sharp sunglasses
She's such a brat now I'm packin her cigarettes
I guess I'll take off these great sunglasses
It makes her look me in the eye before she's taken away

So cool in her new Camaro
It's black as coal and it goes boy, go go go
She looks so cool in that new Camaro
So black as coal and it goes, no it go go go

She look so cool in her new Camaro
It's black as coal and it goes boy, go go go
I brought my fight next to her Camaro
And when I fire on a smile then she blows, she blows
She blows, she blows

Arizona lyrics - Kings Of Leon

That taste
All I ever needed
All I ever wanted
Too dumb to surrender

She shakes
Like the morning railway
Checking me out
With someone on her shoulder

The lamp
Flickers in the bedroom
She must feel as awkward
Whorehouse Arizona

Now go
Stand up to a giant
Say that I'm a fighter
Too drunk to remember
Too drunk to...

Shake hands
My face is laying on the pavement
Tasting something awful
I hate when that happens

She waves
Thinking that its sexy
She must be plum crazy
I kinda think I like her
I kinda think I do

Aha Shake Heartbreak (2005) - Kings Of Leon












Slow Night, So Long lyrics - Kings Of Leon

Slow night so long, she's frenching out the flavour,
She's 17 but I done went an plum forgot it

No tears are gone they're pooling on the table,
No tears are gone they're leaving their mark behind

So far so good she's absolutely wasted,
She's hanging up and changing her story around

I just don't know where leading ladies come from,
I just don't know where they can be found

She's opened up just like she really knows me,
I hate her face, but enjoy the company

I'll take you home, or back to Oklahoma,
You're not so nice, but sex sells so cheap

Rise and shine all you gold-digging mothers,
Are you too good to tango with the poor boys

King Of The Rodeo lyrics - Kings Of Leon

He's so the purity, a shaven and a mourning,
And standing on a pigeon toe, in his disarray

Straight in the picture pose
He's coming round to meet you

And screaming like a battle cry, it's more if I stay

Me and your cold, driving in the snow,
Let the good times roll let the good times roll,
Cowgirl king of the rodeo let the good times roll,
Let the good times roll

How dare you come to me like Withnail for a favor,
Hold on not my fairy tale you're trying to start

Take off your overcoat you're staying for the weekend,
And swaying like a smokey grey, a drink in the park

Good time to roll on

Taper Jean Girl lyrics - Kings Of Leon

Aha shake taper jean girl with a motel face
Aha shake bury your eyes in a secret place
Aha shake black as night on a Sunday

C***s watch their bodies, no room for make up,
I think he's tasted the watcher

Heartbreak knockin' 'em down like the 7th grade,
Heartbreak, cigarettes and songs, with a winters chafe
Heartbreak keep like my daughter, and a run away

Aha shake tapered jean girl kills me

Pistol Of Fire lyrics - Kings Of Leon

Pistol of fire, pistol of fire
Pistol of fire, shattered the frame
Go hug your sister, go love your sister
Go hug your sister one in the same

Aiyah where is it you want to take me,
Aiyah where is it wou want to go Aiyah,
Wrapping up morning's coming
Aiyah come home before the rooster crows

I feel the water out in the cool grass
Down in the meadow under the tree
It's gonna tickle you're gonna giggle
It's gonna tickle for free

Milk lyrics - Kings Of Leon

Salty leave, salty leave

Tell me the one about the friend you knew,
And the last goodnight that we toasted too.

Salty leave,
Stay for me, stay for me

We drank wine in the matineee
And the spotlight showed what I chased away

Stay for me

She saw my comb over, her hourglass body
She had problems with drinking milk
and being school tardy
She'll loan you her toothbrush
She'll bartend you party

Kill me, Kill me

I called and I called, but I can't get through,
Said he's on his own, but his own is you

Kill me

The Bucket lyrics - Kings Of Leon

I'll be the one to show you the way
You'll be the one to always complain
3 in the morning come a bang bang bang
All out of fags and I just can't wait
Cancel the thing that I said I'd do
I don't feel comfortable talking to you
Unless you got the zipper fixed on my shoe,
Then I'll be in the lobby drinking for two

18, balding, star, Golden, fallen, heart

Look at the shaky's whats with the blush
Fresh off the plane in my fuzzy rush
Everyones gathered to idolize me,
I hate the way you talk your Japanese scream
It's been too long since I left the shed,
You kick the bucket and I'll swing my legs
Always remember the pact that we made,
Too young to die but old is the grave

I'm a gonna show the way

Soft lyrics - Kings Of Leon

I used to see you every day
Used to see you every day
I danced around your folk and soul
I danced to all your fucking soul
I left you with your nose a bleedin
And your toes creepin' around
Ahhh so mindane and incomplete
Hand me down my pants and get me off this street

I'm passed out in your garden,
I'm in I can't get off so soft
I'd pop myself in your body,
I'd come into your party but I'm soft

Behind the fringe of a whiskey high
Mutilating cat like eyes,
And in your nose blood decadence
You try to drag me into your bohemian dancing
You paint my fingers and you paint my toes,
You let you perfect nipple show

Razz lyrics - Kings Of Leon

Just like the girlies back at corner stone
Wash my bugle boy a watching my throne

Sweet mutilation of a sold to nothing man,
Lord have mercy shake is falling through your hand

Razz the kid

Because you love me I'm the chosen one,
These are the days to not be having no fun

I listen back to what you told me before,
Just tell me where to come, I'll knock down the door

Day Old Blues lyrics - Kings Of Leon

Toss me a breath, when you hold me down,
Hot like a razor on my face
Something's growing that don't help me now,
Paging the doctor just in case

Low and behold, things are killing me,
Silly expectation of a dream
Girls are gonna love the way I toss my hair,
Boys are gonna hate the way I seem

Day old, day old, day old,
Day old, day old, day old blues

Peach Christmas lights spitting German ling,
Feels like a fast or homeless sleep
At least there's a record that I love to play,
Dreaming about a place I'll never see

Betty, Betty, Annie is praying,
Baby with a man like lung

Smell her crying fighting back a fever
Mad as hell give up

Four Kicks lyrics - Kings Of Leon

Huffman don't take no nonsense
He's here to rectify
He's got his black belt buckle,
And the red man's fire in his eye

You with your switchblade posse,
I'll get my guns from the south,
We'll take to the yard like a cock fight
Four kicks who's strutting now?

This party is overrated,
But there aint shit else to do
She's a lovin' on a boy from the city,
I'll be lovin' him under my shoe

Velvet Snow lyrics - Kings Of Leon

Walking like you're stuck in velvet snow
Walking like you're stuck in velvet snow
Starting on your story and I'll go
Walking like you're stuck in velvet snow

Glowing 'cause you're sweating on the floor
Glowing 'cause you're sweating on the floor
Dancing like you'll never dance no more
Glowing 'cause you're sweating on the floor

And then you go, and when you go,
You get to going way too fast, and I'm so slow
Turn out the lights, she's coming to fight,
And then she'll go

Death row smoking getting to your face
Death row smoking getting to your face
Showing off your something shaved and lacy,
Death row smoking getting to your face

And then you go, and when you go,
You get to going way too fast, and I'm so slow
Turn out the lights, she's coming to fight,
And then she'll go

And then you go, and when you go,
You get to going way too fast, and I'm so slow
Turn out the lights, she's coming to fight,
And then she'll go

Little Jo, she warned me not to call you,
Stoked that you were carrying some bad news
Leave it up to me and I'll just drown you,
Out into the city where you came from

Rememo lyrics - Kings Of Leon

On a plane, on a plane
Off to see the city girls again
Only bringing what to carry on,
So that you know I won't be long
Dripping beard as cold as hell
And the motherfuckers gonna go to jail

Honestly I can see
The giggling virgin overlooking me
Trying to put together what to say
Although it wouldm't matter anyway

This rememo is set for home
It's personal but they need to know
I'm overdue another round,
To gain control and take me down
You're all tied up as you should be
And I'll be cutting out naturally
Dripping beards as cold as jail
And the motherfuckers gonna go to hell

This rememo is set for home
It's personal but they need to know

Where Nobody Knows lyrics - Kings Of Leon

With your hands in the air
You look like the girl at the fair
With the bubbly eyes
Stonewashed shoes pullin' at a rock
But the rock don't compromise
Come up to me and say why are you so skinny
And pretty for a boy
I said thanks for the insult and compliment
You'll never forget my face no more

[Chorus:]
I can't hardly reach you
And I know it's getting harder to be you
So I'll be dropping you where nobody knows
City ought to take you
It would take a little second to break you
So I'll be dropping you where nobody knows
I'll be dropping you where nobody knows

Looking pretty keen sittin' on a swing
That don't mean a thing at all
The heels on my feet are barking like a pack of dogs
Sickin' on a 'coon in a stall

Take it for your word
Take it for a ride
Take it for the evening
Dead or alive
Warming up the car
Packing up as the pilots play

[Chorus]

Jessicaa

Head like a stone
Stoned like a rock
Cloggin' up your nose again
Papa is a searchin'
Devil is a knockin'
Chills swimmin' over my skin
Here it goes now

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
