Foster The People - Loyal Like Syd & Nancy lyrics

Parading to the ma**es We’re coming so fresh to d**h 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 Never asked for any favors Nothing I want from you I’ve been looking for an answer To keep me from falling 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 They’ve locked our voices in the oven Like Sylvia at home My eyes are on the world My hands are anxious To feel something real True colors tend to glisten And then reveal Where’s the love? And why are we so far from love? Chased by badgers, ducking 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 Gatsby’s Growling mouths with rabies And loyal like Sid & Nancy Hey man get away from me You pretend you got control Hey man get away from me I never asked for any favors Nothing I want from you Well I’ve been praying for an answer To keep me from falling through Yeah I’m waiting for the voice to speak Because I can’t see We’ll hear the sound eventually We’ll hear the sound We’ll hear the sound eventually
