Blood Orange - Lives & Treasure lyrics

Giving and taking, giving and taking
Peacocks strutting and game
Hounds are shaking
Rustling their feathers
Preparing for the flight
Practising their mating calls all
Ready for tonight
Giving and taking, giving and taking
Sapphires, amber, pearls, breaking
Fingers always crossed there's a price
That we are paying lies
In treasures the cost of
The fortune we're forsaking
(Oh)

Can't stop messing around (Messing around)
Footprints lead all over town (All over town)
Until we found our four leaf clover
You were picked up, hit from the side
(Hit from the side)
Put down, you batted your eyes and you said
That you won't cry until you're sober

Hearts
Clubs
Diamonds
Spades (Oh)
Hearts
Clubs
Diamonds
Spades (Oh)

Can't stop messing around (Messing around)
Footprints lead us all over town
(All over town)
Until we've found our four leaf clover (Oh)
You were picked up, hit from the side
(Hit from the side)
Put down, you batted your eyes and you said
That you won't cry until you're sober

And it's me
I know you've got your eyes on me
Don't you babe, it's me
I'm miles past
And I was about to let you know
I let this way too low for me
And through the static loudly I sing

Giving and taking, giving and taking
Bodies are moving and rooftops are quaking
People getting younger
Second childhoods ahead
People making money
Making mummy make your bed
Giving and taking, giving and taking
Gold, silver, brass, we're aching
We found ourselves lost
Our strong hearts are aching
Lives and treasures
The cost for the fortune that's forsaken

Can't stop messing around (Messing around)
Footprints lead us all over town
(All over town)
Until we've found our four leaf clover (Oh)
You were picked up, hit from the side
(Hit from the side)
Put down
You batted your eyes and you said that
You won't cry until you're sober
(Oh)

Oh, oh, oh, oh
Cry until you're sober
Oh, oh, oh, oh
Hit from the side
Oh, oh, oh, oh
Oh, oh, oh, oh
Oh, oh, oh, oh
Oh, oh, oh, oh
Exotica Sage
Oh, oh, oh, oh
That song was a cover version
Oh, oh, oh, oh
By the band The Acrylics
Oh, oh, oh, oh
Sutphin Boulevard
Oh, oh, oh, oh
