Kings Of Leon Album

Running with the street lights
Laughing at the grave
He swears he's gonna give it up
It's never gonna be enough
I just wanna be there
When you're all alone
Thinking about a better day
When you had it in your bones

This could be the end

I see you in the evenings
Sitting on your throne
You're playing with a fireball
And post it up against wall
I just wanna hold you
Take you by your hand
And tell you that you're good enough
And tell you that it's gonna be tough

This could be the end

'Cause I ain't got a home

Running from the street lights
Shining on the grave
Once you had the good stuff
Never gonna fill you up
I wanna be the one who
Gives them my world
And gives them all the feeling of it
Just a little taste of it

This could be the end

'Cause I ain't got a home
I'll forever roam
No, I ain't got a home
I'll forever roam

Said I ain't got a home
I'll forever roam
No, I ain't got a home
I'll forever roam

I ain't got a home

When road is carved up yonder
I hope you see me there
It's in the water, It's where you came from
It's in the water, It's where you came from

And the crowd begins to wander
And they cry to see your face

It's in the water, It's in the story of where you came from
Your sons and daughters in all their glory it's gonna shape 'em
And when they pledge and come together, and start a rising
Just drink the water where you came from, where you came from

So the road it was carved from nothing
Never sold yourself away

It's in the water, It's in the story of where you came from
Your sons and daughters in all their glory its gonna shape 'em
And when they dance and come together, and start a rising
Just drink the water where you came from, where you came from

And when they pledge and come together and start a rising
Just drink the water where you came from where you came from

A single book of matches is gonna burn what's standing in the way
Roaring down the mountain, they're calling on the fire brigade
Carry out the pictures and tell the kids that I'm okay
If'n I'm forgotten you'll remember me for the day

I, I won't ever be your cornerstone
I

All the black inside me is slowly seeping from the bone
Everything I cherish is slowly dying or it's gone
Little shaking babies and drunkards seem to all agree
Once the show gets started it's bound to be a sight to see

I, I won't ever be your cornerstone
I, I don't want to be here holding on
I, I won't ever be your cornerstone
I

Watch her run, can you feel it?

I, I won't ever be your cornerstone
I, I don't want to be here holding on
I, I won't ever be your cornerstone
I

Mary, if you want to
I'll wait my ride
I'd be on the corner
Just passin' time

No I won't, never once, make you cry
Just to kiss, oh and I'll miss your goodbye
ha ha ha ha ha ha

We'll go to the disco
We'll be desired
Oh and we'll dance like we're good friends
It's sheer delight

No I won't, never once, make you cry
Just to kiss, how I'll miss your goodbye

No I won't, never once, make you cry
Just to kiss, oh and I'll miss your goodbye
ha ha ha ha ha ha

Beneath the dance hall lights
You see my girl so sound
Lights up the ground
If you give up New York
I'll give you Tennessee
The only place to be

The cowboy's burning eyes
Don't like the sight of me
Just straight enough to breathe
I like your point of view
So don't shy away
Ride out the wave

Ride out the wave

You had me holding on
Another time and place
Ride out the wave
Bury yourself away
The one and only face
Ride out the wave

Ride out the wave

The open road, the path of greatness
It's at your fingers
Go be the one that keeps on fighting
Go be the stranger
Just put your foot in front the other
Crow like a rooster
Be all in all, together something
Fear is a danger
I say

Spill out on the streets and start
Right away
Find out what you are
Face to face

The windows are the perfect picture
They're always changing
Go on, get lost, jump in the waters
When they are raging
I say

Spill out on the streets and start
Right away
Find out what you are
Face to face
Once you've had enough
Carry on
Don't forget to love
Before you're gone

Come on out and dance
If you get the chance
We're gonna spit on the rivals
All I wanna know
Is how far you wanna go
Fighting for survival

Underneath the stars
Where we park the cars
Ain't showing signs of stopping
Pretty little girls
Naked to their curves
Ready to lay in a coffin'

If you wanna go
I'm gonna go
I've got a fire burning
Go on take my hand
When we see the band
Baby's gonna be a big one, oh yeah

Baby's gonna be a big one

When we see the lights
And we hear the fights
It's gonna be a stunner
I got something here
If you give me one more beer
I'm gonna call the runner

I don't wanna 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 South now

I'm going back down South now

If you wanna go
I'm going back down South now
Come on take my hand
I'm going back down South now
When we see the lights
And we hear the fights
I'm going back down South now
All I wanna know
Is how far you wanna go
I'm going back down South now, oh yeah

I'm going back down South now

Got an attitude
Thinking that he's always right
Blowing smoke rings
Making me wanna fight

And then I look back
On all things I've ever done
And then I look up
Seeing that he's on the run

Seeing that he's on the run

It's a big thing
Anything her heart desires
And now I have to
Try to outdo the fight

I caught a big break
When we played in the road
I saw you laughing
Even though you know it's so

Even though you know it's so

Even when you're on the run

Even though you know it's so

Won't you give me something I need
Won't you get me off of the street
Gonna wet my tongue
And spin me up and break me a fever

Give me something I can believe in
Give me something, then walk me away
I'm a waste of time
And all in all waste of a living
Waste of a living

Can't you see me walking alone
I've been down to the horns and back
And I'm way too tired
Of blowing out the burning candle

I got no money, but I want you so
I got no money, but I want you so
I got so much I cannot handle
Cannot handle
I cannot handle

And all this pissin' around
Cut me lose of this fucking town
I ain't coming back
I got my ticket on to the next one

I got no money, but I want you so
I got no money, but I want you so
And I want and I want and I want and I want it

I got razor sharp mind that wants to cut you down
A little place of mine maybe I could let you down
Pony up, we got a ways to go
Set me up my friend, we're running low

Oh, if you take my hand I'm gonna get you outta here
The crushing bottles break and the swinging chandelier
In a round of bullets and blood and smoke
I saw the midnight come and I watched her go

In a round of bullets and blood and smoke
I saw the midnight come and I watched her go
Yeah, I watched her go
I watched her

I watched her go

It's in the way she often calls me out
It's in the cut of your pretty gown
Your come-on-legs and your pantyhose
You look so precious with your bloody nose

We're gonna come together, we're gonna celebrate
We're gonna gather around like it's your birthday
I don't want to know just what I'm gonna do
I don't care where you're going, I'm coming home with you

Walking her home with the grassy field
Falling and laughing at the drinks we've spilled
Just one of those nights that I have to share
Chasing the death without a care

We're gonna come together, we're gonna celebrate
We're gonna gather around like it's your birthday
I don't want to know just what I'm gonna do
I don't care where you're going, I'm coming home with you

You know I love the way you curve

We're gonna come together, we're gonna celebrate
We're gonna gather around like it's your birthday
I don't want to know just what I'm gonna do
I don't care where you're going, I'm coming home with you

I got a friend
Shows me all the good times
Tells me I look better
Chews me up and spits me out
And then walks my ass home
And sings a song
When I'm gone, gone, gone

My little friend
Shoots me up in downtown
When I can't get me drunk enough
To pick me up the pieces
Of a place I call home
To sing a song
'Til I'm gone, gone, gone

You know
Gone, gone, gone

I've got a friend
Who helps me to get up again
Showers me in boozes
Tells me I got a big old dick
And she wants my ass home
To sing a song
'Til I'm gone, gone, gone

You know, son
Gone, gone, gone

Gone, gone, gone

Walk you home to see
Where you're living around
And I know this place
Pour yourself on me
And you know I'm the one
That you won't forget

And in your denim eyes
I see something's arry
And I see your wink
When he comes around
I see you're fixin' to shine
And my face won't speak

Hate to be so emotional
I didn't mean to get physical
But when he pulled in and revved it up
I said, you call that a pickup truck?
And in the moonlight I throwed him down
All kickin' and screamin' and rollin' around
A little piece of a bloody tooth
Just so you know I was thinking of you
Just so you know, oh

Trembling misery
And it's cold as a hole
Hug your bones and skin
Crackling woods gone white
And my eyes swelled up now
I can see the light

Hate to be so emotional
I didn't mean to get physical
But when he pulled in and revved it up
I said, you call that a pickup truck?
And in the moonlight I throwed him down
All kickin' and screamin' and rollin' around
A little piece of a bloody tooth
Just so you know I was thinking of you
Just so you know, oh

Just so you know, oh

Hate to be so emotional
I didn't mean to get physical
But when he pulled in and revved it up
I said, you call that a pickup truck?
And in the moonlight I throwed him down
All kickin' and screamin' and rollin' around
A little piece of a bloody tooth
Just so you know I was thinking of you
Just so you know I was thinking of you
Just so you know, oh

Just so you know, oh
