Florence Welch - Franky Boy lyrics

I can't white for sh** these days It seems I'm slowing I was knocked out by a f**ed up day And I'm nowhere going My head hurts and a flash back flirts with A numbing feeling That life ain't taken happy away so it's time it's stealing So I rock back And rack up my balls to break my reeling Coded I'm stuck till I'm dead so d**h is healing I've been in a terrible state of introspection Locked inside the shell of myself by life's deception It takes time to develop a life you like Statistics will lie Finding a balance will shed a new light on The greatest of lies: Existing for nothing but kissing and hugging? Could be that you're a pilling and f**ing! Could be that you're digging a hole for the brother Who never could handle his function! From farcical fiends and set backs To magical dreams and jet packs We're splitting the seams and wandering free of The feeling we're nothing but hard facts Flesh, bones, blood and sinew We'll all continue To rumble and rage and shatter the cage that we're all born intro So take time to be nice And live life to the full Sometimes it's hard life and sometimes it's cool Be strong it's not long before my friends you'll see That power is the mind and knowledge is the key I've made mistakes but none of them paid for I've got karma running after me paybacks that I'm late for I'm far from harmony and I know that I'd be grateful If someone harder that me Would shake the hurt out of me Would tell me how life should be But no one's up for the task They know that kids of today are growing up too fast They know the theory on play is bolting up the past With all the things that they've seen And all the broken dreams It's harder to think that breathe! So what do you think that we do? We trouble and manage a moment to hold up and Think it through With the old adage of having had no love or luck to boot Some of the peeps on this planet are gold dust and Honey dew No thanks to you... So take time to be nice And live life to the full Sometimes it1s hard life and sometimes it's cool Be strong it's not long before my friends you'll see That power is the mind and knowledge is the key I deliberately rolled up with my face on Perception's the power that be But I prove my point with my patience I'm fickle for vanity And I've found a voice for the vacant Part of my mentality When I tell you I don't give a f** if I see you eyeing me! I'm not telling you how you should be I'm telling you strictly that there's more to this life than you see The book and the cover Uncover and hear how reality breathers Simplistically rhythmic It's rhythm encrypted No beat is a misfit So take time to be nice And live life to the full Sometimes it's hard life and sometimes it's cool Be strong it's not long before my friends you'll see That power is the mind and knowledge is the key Be strong it's not long before my friends you'll see That power is the mind and knowledge is the key... Oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh
