Danger Mouse & Sparklehorse - Little Girl (feat. Julian Casablancas) Lyrics

A trick that people use to make you think they are smart
Is confidence when actually they're lost in the dark
Only someone with the mind of a child says he'll grow up
Cause headin' down the avalance your life will show up

It's nice to be a victim of what happened too late
I wanna share my food, but you have stolen my plate
Hey now, hey now, go your way now

You tortured little girl
Showing them what love is all about
Where did all the time go?
Everywhere it's gone, gone, gone

You get the point now
You pick your self up off the bar, she's on his arm now
Coz they remind you of the pictures on the wall now
But she was young and I wasn't not even born yet
If you think I know a little more then
The average person on the streets, you aren't correct
Because I'm ignorant as shit, not here to preach man
You know I just wanna have fun, go to the beach man
That's all I am, I'm just a simple guy who talks when
You put a microphone in front of him

You twisted little girl
Showing them what life is all about
Where did all the time go?
Everywhere it's gone

Running laps in a relationship
Going in circles and i just can't wait
Running laps so we can get in shape
Get in shape because we can't escape
Running laps because I'm already late
Really not, I'm in the exact same place
Running laps in your relationship
Running away from the shadows themselves

The world's always amazed at how much cash you made
But not at how you made it, it's just strange
It sounded kinda cool over the phone
It killed your neighbours and their dog and crushed their bones

You tortured little girl
Showing them what laughter's all about
Where did all the wine go?
Every night it's gone

You got it all worked out
Funny little girl
Showing them what pain is all about
Where did all the time go?
Every night it's gone, gone, gone

You're the coolest girl in this whole town
I just wanna parade you around
