The Jezabels - Violent Dream lyrics
[The Jezabels - Violent Dream lyrics]
I awoke in a violent dream one day
I saw my shadow slip away
The steep and incandescent figure
Walked right through the parlour
And all the smoking ladies whispered
"Hey! Where you think you're going?"
But, you and I escaped out of the schoolyard
Through a tiny whole in the fence, you said
"Don't fear the reaper
Don't fear the mistress
For when you're walking through the sewer
At least you get a real perfume
You can hold onto a silver sliver
Let's break it down to, down to my level"
And we saw the silver sliver
Calling us wildly
You ask why we dance together?
Zelo, zelo oh sad coco
Zelo sad coco on my mind
(I love you, but I will not eat you alive
For I have the silver sliver by my side)
So, would you tell me when
You're ready to break free of this
And I will keep the motor on
Keep the motor on
Oh, come one, make me proud, admit it
We saw the silver sliver, calling us wildly
You ask why we dance together?
We dance because we can't speak
Oh, I worry, you know I worry a lot
But though I worry, I've got comfort in my
So would you tell me when
You're ready to break free of this
And I will keep the motor on
Keep the motor on
We'll be going downstairs, to the basement
Where the lights are low, and even your mama
Doesn't come alone, doesn't come alone
So come on make me proud i said
"Shut up, make me proud
It gets lost when the words come out
Shine a light on the silver sliver
Let's break it down to, down to my level"
I saw my shadow slip away
The steep and incandescent figure
Walked right through the parlour
And all the smoking ladies whispered
"Hey! Where you think you're going?"
But, you and I escaped out of the schoolyard
Through a tiny whole in the fence, you said
"Don't fear the reaper
Don't fear the mistress
For when you're walking through the sewer
At least you get a real perfume
You can hold onto a silver sliver
Let's break it down to, down to my level"
And we saw the silver sliver
Calling us wildly
You ask why we dance together?
Zelo, zelo oh sad coco
Zelo sad coco on my mind
(I love you, but I will not eat you alive
For I have the silver sliver by my side)
So, would you tell me when
You're ready to break free of this
And I will keep the motor on
Keep the motor on
Oh, come one, make me proud, admit it
We saw the silver sliver, calling us wildly
You ask why we dance together?
We dance because we can't speak
Oh, I worry, you know I worry a lot
But though I worry, I've got comfort in my
So would you tell me when
You're ready to break free of this
And I will keep the motor on
Keep the motor on
We'll be going downstairs, to the basement
Where the lights are low, and even your mama
Doesn't come alone, doesn't come alone
So come on make me proud i said
"Shut up, make me proud
It gets lost when the words come out
Shine a light on the silver sliver
Let's break it down to, down to my level"
