Foster The People - Loyal Like Sid & Nancy lyrics

Parading to the masses
We're coming so fresh to death
I've been stealing looks from shadows
You conjure with your purse
Yeah, you're walking in stilettos but
Your nose is bleeding out
I've been running from the devil but
The devil's on my back i'm decreasing
Took a leave of absence from the war
If the wall is coming down
Then we got to press the pedal
Got my hands up in the air
I'm saying I can't breathe
I got my hands up in the air, I'm saying

Hey man, get away from me yeah
Hey man, get away from me uh
Yeah, oh

Never ask for any favors
There's nothing I want from you
I've been looking for an answer to
Keep me from fallin' through
And I'm waiting for the
Voice to speak 'cause, i can't see
I hope we'll hear the sound eventually

I felt their claws obstruct and refuse
Refugees in the new Rome
Lock our voices in the oven
Like S-Sylvia at home
My eyes are on the world
Yeah, my hands anxious to feel something real
True colors tend to glisten and then reveal

Where's the love? Mmm
And why are we so far from love?

Chased by badges, duckin' lights
Push the dagger when it's right
Martial law, inshallah, mi casa es tuya
Ghosting like I'm Daniel Johnston and I'm
Locked up in the basement
Where Satan lies in satin tweets
And realigns his face lift
The criminals are laughing with their empty
Toothless faces we've melted all our gold to
Recommence our idol worship
We all pretend one day we'll be
The greatest of the Gatsbys
Growling mouths with rabies and loyal
Like Sid and Nancy

Hey man, get away from me
You pretend you got control
Hey man, get away from me

Never ask for any favors
There's nothing I want from you
I've been praying for an answer to
Keep me from fallin' through yeah
Yeah, I'm waiting for the
Voice to speak 'cause, i can't see
Oh, we'll hear the sound eventually, yeah
We'll hear the sound
We'll hear the sound eventually
