Glass Animals - Dreamland Album Lyrics

Dreamland

Pulling down backstreets deep in your head
Slipping through dreamland like a tourist
Pulling down backstreets deep in your head
Slipping through dreamland like a tourist

That first friend you had, that worst thing you said
That perfect moment, that last tear you shed
All you done in bed? All on Memorex
All around your head, all around your head

Pulling down backstreets deep in your head
Slipping through dreamland like a tourist
Pulling down backstreets deep in your head
Slipping through dreamland like a tourist

You've had too much of the digital love
You want everything live, you want things you can touch
Make it feel like like a movie you saw in your youth
Make it feel like that song that just unopened you
You were ten years old holding hands in the classroom
He had a gun on the first day of highschool
You want something bizarre, old conceptual cars
You want girls dressed in drag, you want boys with guitars

Pulling down backstreets deep in your head
Slipping through dreamland like a tourist
Pulling down backstreets deep in your head
Slipping through dreamland like a tourist

You see Kodachrome, you see pink and gold
You see Mullholland glow, you see in airplane mode
All around your head, all around your head
All around your head, all 'round 'round your head

You float in the pool where the soundtrack is canned
You go ask your questions like, "What makes a man?"
Oh, it's 2020 so it's time to change that
So you go make an album and call it Dreamland

Tangerine

(Whoa)

As cold as an old ice cream sandwich
As focused as Mr. Miyagi
You poke a your phone postin' aerial photos
Of you with your smoothie
I can't keep on makin' you happy
'Cause you got issues with your daddy
I miss ramen noodles and laughing at you
And your gran in home movies

But I wish I could show you more of yourself
I wish I could make you somebody else
But I left it way too late
Are you stuck in your own ways?

I'm beggin', hands, knees, please
Tangerine, come on back to me
Got what I need, Tangerine
Do this for me
Hands, knees, please
Tangerine, sugar, honey, sweet
Got what I need, Tangerine

You let the Devil in
And all you talk is money, money
Money, money, money
It's so funny how it changes how you feel
How you see, how you need, how you sleep (whoa)
All your freedom, caffeine
How you're lookin' at me
But I love it when the light sits on you just right
Tiny tangerine speckles painted in your eyes

Hands, knees, please
Tangerine, come on back to me
Got what I need, Tangerine
Do this for me
Hands, knees, please
Tangerine, sugar, honey, sweet
Got what I need, Tangerine

(Oh my God)
(Drop the beat)

You've been dreamless and sleepin' for years
Super clear since the late 1990s
You only look at me properly now
When you're drunk, watchin' movies
Where are you? What happened?
I want what we had, where you gone? Where you hidin'?
It's 2:23, you got Friends on repeat
On repeat, on repeat, on repeat
On repeat, on re-

I wish I could show you more of yourself
I wish I could make you somebody else
But I left it way too late
Are you stuck in your own ways?

I'm beggin', hands, knees, please
Tangerine, come on back to me
Got what I need, Tangerine
Do this for me
Hands, knees, please
Tangerine, sugar, honey, sweet
Got what I need, Tangerine

Hands, knees, please
Tangerine, come on back to me
Got what I need, Tangerine
Do this for me
Hands, knees, please
Tangerine, sugar, honey, sweet
Got what I need, Tangerine

I'm beggin', hands, knees, please
Tangerine, come on back to me
Got what I need, Tangerine
Do this for me
Hands, knees, please
Tangerine, sugar, honey, sweet
Got what I need, Tangerine (whoa)

What is the date today?
27th of May, 1994

Hot Sugar

Long black tulips
Born in your blue tints
Lemongrass eyelids
Smoke in your slick lips

Chocolate chapstick
Backbeat strat flips
Swimming pool spaceships
Light through the wave tips

Hot sugar in the afternoon
I wish that we could be real too
Hot sugar in the afternoon
I wish that we could be real too

So cool but we don't talk
Hotels and alcohol
Pool paintings on the wall
Hot rubber on the tar

I don't wanna be around you
Just wanna be like you
I don't wanna be around you
Just wanna be like

Bath time cool whip
Watermelon juice kiss
Esprit gold rims
Skin so sun-licked

Santal freshness
Hologram glasses
Put it on plastic
You never been desperate

Hot sugar in the afternoon
I wish that we could be real too
Hot sugar in the afternoon
I wish that we could be real too

So cool but we don't talk
Hotels and alcohol
Pool paintings on the wall
Hot rubber on the tar

I don't wanna be around you
Just wanna be like you
I don't wanna be around you
Just wanna be like you

(Watch out)

Just wanna be like you
Just wanna be like you
Just wanna be like you

So cool but we don't talk
Hotels and alcohol
Pool paintings on the wall
Hot rubber on the tar

I don't wanna be around you
Just wanna be like you
I don't wanna be around you
Just wanna be like you

So cool
So cool
So cool

Space Ghost Coast To Coast

(Hey)

Said to you, "Why did you do it?"
Touch the glass, I'll feel you through it
Against the wall with the bracelets on
You look bizarre in the apricot

You think that you're Space Ghost
You're wanted coast to coast
F*ck that shit, now I go
My way and you go yours

Gotta be all that coco, eh?
Playin' too much of that GTA
Playin' too much of that Dr. Dre
Doom, Quake, where'd you get the gun from, eh?

Really think that metal gonna make you safe?
Playin' peek-a-boo with the devil these days
Black cap back with a trench coat, ay
Living in the valley cuttin' porno tapes

(Living in the valley cuttin' porno-)

You think that you're Space Ghost
You're wanted coast to coast
F*ck that shit, now I go
My way and you go yours

Were you bored of gender norms?
Of bein' alone, no mama home
A bad divorce, or sad we can't
Afford the clothes our heroes own

Remember when you stole
Mom's old Geo Metro?
You wore her old bath robe
Too small to see the road

We were just two Texas toddlers
Pokemon and bottle rockets
Dunkaroos and Real Monsters
Capri Sun straw in the bottom

You think that you're Space Ghost
You're wanted coast to coast
F*ck that shit, now I go
My way and you go yours

Heard you were lookin' up the cookbook, names
Cut into the back of your bedroom door frames
Super villain with a manifesto, dang
Gotta say I'm pretty glad they caught you, man

Get back to the kickball days
Scared to hold hands at school disco days
007 Nintendo games
Burnin' Hot Pockets in the microwave

You think that you're Space Ghost
You're wanted coast to coast
F*ck that shit, now I go
My way and you go yours

Tokyo Drifting

(ft. Denzel Curry)

Huh, huh, huh

Two things 'bout the gears, you better listen up
Chrome spokes with the spinners on his tire hubs
Suck smoke in his '40, windows up
He rolls, like he really doesn't give a
Drug lust and two packets in your pocket
Clear score, dust hits your nose like a rocket

Doo doo doo, doo, doo doo doo doo doo
Doo doo doo, doo, doo doo doo doo doo

Scoot-scoot, boy, race up to the super-club
Let rip, like you drank all of the tequila
Get loose, Street Fighter, tear it up
Fresh footwear drippin' out of you onto the rug

Ooh, now you're lettin' go
Heart beatin' faster, feet pushin' on the floor
Ain't nothin' better
Ooh, now you're lettin' go
Heart beatin' faster, feet pushin' on the floor
Ain't nothin' better
Wavey Davey's on fire
You still got it, you still got it alright, yeah (huh, huh)
Wavey Davey's on fire
Oh, you still got it, you still got it alright, yeah (huh, huh)

Huh, huh
Huh, huh
Huh, huh

Ayy, what is everybody talkin' 'bout?
When they wanna live fast, but I'd rather walk it out
Niggas wanna talk about a G, but I spend a G on the twelve teeth in my mouth (huh, huh, huh)
Diamonds aquatic, it feel like trout on my wrist (wrist)
Or a spout on my wrist, put a spider up in it (in it)
Everything gotta be eighty and you keep the twenty percentage
You know that I get it, I'm on and I'm in it
If you try to take it, the clip get extended
I'm back on my bullshit, like Jordan, no Pippen
If this is my life then I'm Tokyo drifting (uh)

Ooh, now you're lettin' go
Heart beatin' faster, feet pushin' on the floor (yeah, oh)
Ain't nothin' better
Ooh, now you're lettin' go
Heart beatin' faster, feet pushin' on the floor
Ain't nothin' better
Wavey Davey's on fire (yuh, yuh, yuh, okay)
You still got it, you still got it alright, yeah (huh, huh, huh)
Wavey Davey's on fire (yuh, yuh, yuh, okay)
You still got it, you still got it alright, yeah (huh, huh, huh)

Hm, huh, huh
Wavey Davey's on fire
You still, you still got it all
You still, you still got it all
You still, you still got it alright, yeah

Melon and the Coconut

Melon and the coconut are sitting on the floor
Coco said to Melly, "I can't do this anymore"
Everything we're doing just feels f*cking cold
Everything we're shooting is just fake b-roll
B-sides killing time filler that's all
How did this happen when we were so close?

How did this all go so Pete Tong?
When it all started I thought we would grow old
Living in the city with a baby and a dog
Doing school runs in a 4x4
I'd make pancakes and waffles
I could be a stay at home G.I. Joe

Melly said to Coco, "You can't do this anymore?"
One day, you'll see you're f*cking wrong
Sometimes B-sides are the best songs
Sometimes killing time's very fruitful

I know I can't make you younger
I can't stop life moving onwards
I can't hide you from life's horrors
I'm not making you like your father
Too much quinoa and online shopping
Off-white Air Force ones in boxes
You're a f*cking coconut, can't even put 'em on
Even if you could you couldn't even pull 'em off

Your Love (Déjà Vu)

I shut my eyes
You call but I just cut the line
I know your style
I know that you want one more night
And I'm backsliding
Into this just one more time

Too far from over you
Beams from your M2
Are blowing through my room
And now you
Lay down in my shoes
You dyed your hair blue
Oh, so much deja vu

And now
I can feel your love
Your temporary touch
It's a hit and run
You go back there when you're done
Don't you want some more
'Cause I can feel your love

That purple touch
Everyone who sees you falls in love
You eat us up
You live like you're on camera
You slide on top
A moon to all the juice in us

Too far from over you
Beams from your M2
Are blowing through my room
And now you
Lay down in my shoes
You dyed your hair blue
Oh, so much deja vu

And now
I can feel your love
Your temporary touch
It's a hit and run
You go back there when you're done
Don't you want some more
'Cause I can feel your love

Maybe in time
When we're both better at life
Daylight can open my eyes
And you'll still be by my side.
But meanwhile
I've got my contact high
You've got your powdered lies
We've got these summertime nights
Night by night
I let you eat me alive
I want you to eat me alive
I want you to eat me alive

I can feel your love
Your temporary touch
It's a hit and run
You go back there when you're done
I can feel your love
Your temporary touch
It's a hit and run
You go back there when you're done
I can feel your love
Your temporary touch
It's a hit and run
You go back there when you're done
Don't you want some more
'Cause I can feel your love

I can feel your love
I can feel your love
I can feel your love
I can feel your love
I can feel your love

Waterfalls Coming Out Your Mouth

Drip drop
Gimme what you got
Your talk
Is incredible
So, so, so unusual
You taste like surfing videos

I'm going to read your mind
(Big dicks and big ol' titties on the sly)
Say I got Aries eyes
(F*ck no, I'ma a bonafide Aquemini)

Oooh, who you hiding?
White Russians and dirty diamonds
You fake your shyness
I just wish that I could see through you

Cheap booze
Pepsi Blue
You got bottles in from 2002
Hot glue
Vape juice
Hit undo, how the hell are you so cool?

Drip drop
Gimme what you got
Your talk
Is incredible
So, so, so unusual
You taste like surfing videos

It's chemical warfare
Red lips and television eyewear
Raspberry soda hair
In the pool in a blow-up gummy bear

Fake youth
Scooby Doo
Push pops on the corner of the roof
Fruit Loops
Super food
Chat shit but where's the real you?

Never seen The Price Is Right
I'm a liar, I've been on that shit since '99
You make me like a clown
Clap clap, you're a clever, clever cookie now

Waterfalls coming out your mouth
What the hell are we doing now?
Waterfalls tearing you apart
What hell are we doing now?

It's All So Incredibly Loud

Ooh

I break you
I cup your face
Awaken
Two eyes
Blue lakes
Open sesame

Super silence in the quiet
Eye inside the storm
Water from your broken iris
Fall toward the floor
Everything, waiting, shaking as it drops
I tried for you and I, for too hard, for too long
Gave it all and everything for more time, but I lost

Ooh, we're breaking down
Whispers would deafen me now
You don't make a sound
Heartbreak was never so loud

Ooh

Ooh, I'm breaking down
Whispers would deafen me now
You don't make a sound
Heartbreak was never so loud

Two hearts folding
Pulling everything

Ooh, I'm breaking down
Whispers would deafen me now
You don't make a sound
Heartbreak was never so loud

Ooh, I'm breaking down
Whispers would deafen me now
You don't make a sound
It's all so incredibly loud
It's all so incredibly loud

((home movie: rockets))

A young rocket
What are you going to do with the rocket?
What a nice rocket
A big rocket

Domestic Bliss

I see the bruise, I see the truth
I see what he's been doin' to you
Blood on the shoes, what's his excuse?
He say he doin' some new kung fu
You always use his bullshit excuse
But I see what he's been doin' to you

Why'd you put up with that shit?
Why'd you go back for that kiss?
Maybe it tastes like him
When you got tears in your lips
Why'd you put up with that shit?
Why don't we pack and leave this?
Why do you smile when he cries?
Why do you cry when he wins?

Fight for me
We can leave, I'm beggin'
Please, on my, on my knees
Go to Hawaii
Fight for me
Said we can leave, I'm beggin'
Please, on my, on my knees
Hawa-hawaii

You got balloons
New flowers too
Last one's dyin' in your bedroom
He's squeezin' you
Blame-blaming you
Mama just usin' her red perfume

Domestic bliss
I know how bad you wanted it

Why'd you put up with that shit?
Why'd you go back for that kiss?
Maybe it tastes like him
When you got tears in your lips
Why'd you put up with that shit?
Why don't we pack and leave this?
Why do you smile when he cries?
Why do you cry when he wins?

Fight for me
We can leave, I'm beggin'
Please, on my, on my knees
Go to Hawaii
Fight for me
Said we can leave, I'm beggin'
Please, on my, on my knees
Hawa-hawaii

My God, I'll be right in
A trickle of lighting
I knew before I heard
I felt in my skin
My God, I'll be right in
A trickle of lighting
I knew before I heard
I felt in my skin

Fight for me
We can leave, I'm beggin'
Please, on my, on my knees
Go to Hawaii
Fight for me
Said we can leave, I'm beggin'
Please, on my, on my knees
Hawa-hawaii

Heat Waves

(Last night, all I think about is you)
(Don't stop, baby, you can go on through
(Don't want, baby, think about you)
(You know that I'm never gonna lose)

Road shimmer
Wiggling the vision
Heat heat waves
I'm swimming in a mirror

Road shimmer
Wiggling the vision
Heat heat waves
I'm swimming in a

Sometimes, all I think about is you
Late nights in the middle of June
Heat waves been faking me out
Can't make you happier now

Sometimes, all I think about is you
Late nights in the middle of June
Heat waves been faking me out
Can't make you happier now

Usually I put
Something on TV
So we never think
About you and me

But today I see
Our reflections
Clearly in Hollywood
Laying on the screen

You just need a better life than this
You need something I can never give
Fake water all across the road
It's gone now the night has come but

Sometimes, all I think about is you
Late nights in the middle of June
Heat waves been faking me out
Can't make you happier now

You can't fight it
You can't breathe
You say something so loving but
Now I've got to let you go
You'll be better off in someone new
I don't wanna be alone
You know it hurts me too

You look so broken when you cry
One more and then I'll say goodbye

Sometimes, all I think about is you
Late nights in the middle of June
Heat waves been faking me out
Can't make you happier now

Sometimes, all I think about is you
Late nights in the middle of June
Heat waves been faking me out
Can't make you happier now

I just wonder what you're dreaming of
When you sleep and smile so comfortable
I just wish that I could give you that
That look that's perfectly unsad

Sometimes, all I think about is you
Late nights in the middle of June
Heat waves been faking me out
Heat waves been faking me out

Sometimes, all I think about is you
Late nights in the middle of June
Heat waves been faking me out
Can't make you happier now

Sometimes, all I think about is you
Late nights in the middle of June
Heat waves been faking me out
Can't make you happier now

Road shimmer
Wiggling the vision
Heat heat waves
I'm swimming in a mirror

Road shimmer
Wiggling the vision
Heat heat waves
I'm swimming in a mirror

((home movie: shoes on))

You did that backwards, a little bit
Here, great, sweetheart, you're so-muah
Time now?
Wait a second
Here's my boy, right time

Helium

9:09
You gonna call it or am I?
One more time
This puppy love is out of line
One more slide
And then we're back to real life

Ooh and I'm falling now but it's so wrong
You talk like a man and taste like the sun

Ooh and you lift your eyes up from the dust
I knew just then I knew it was done

I guess I want you more than I thought I did
Now that I know that part of you's at home with him
I guess I want you more than I thought I did
Now that I know that part of you's not part of this

Soft blue sky
Helium balloons float up away
Broad daylight
But we're sunflowers in the rain

My momma said their used to be white pyramids
They float above the sand they're slowly sinking in
Are our foundations destined to keep crumbling
Just 'cause we started this with zero innocence?

I just can't build on something that begins like this
It's a blood diamond, flawless but for that one thing

You just want a pack of strings, you won't get it
You just gonna hang and I won't let it
You just want a pack of strings, you won't get it
You just gonna hang and I won't let it

(Hello? David)
(Hello?)
(Are you talking to me?)
(Say Bye Bye)
(Bye Bye)

((home movie: are you watching tv))

[Hidden Track on Helium]

Hello? David
Hello?
Are you talking to me?

Say Bye Bye
Bye Bye
