Kings Of Leon - Can We Please Have Fun Album Lyrics

All my wildest fantasies are here
Dimmers on the lights and filtered air
Acid in the rain, mustard gasoline
Sunday supper coming from a can
Ravioli, plastic parmesan
Fish are in the tank, having quite a think

Stay low
Everyone's afraid to show
I'm a masochist, I know
Ballerina radio

Radiator burns along your quilt
General admission of your guilt
Type two bravery, spreading like a weed

Stay low
Everyone's afraid to show
I'm a masochist, I know
Ballerina radio

All the books I never learned to read
Ones about detectives chasing leads
Wiser men than I, all philosophize

Stay low
Everyone's afraid to show
I'm a masochist, I know
Ballerina radio
I'm a masochist, I know
Ballerina radio

Got my old friend back
He was gone quite a while
I won't stand for that
Good times
Were had
By all

At the rainbow ball
We took every ride
Never paid no mind
We held
Our breath
We crossed that line

Get some, tough love
Sweetheart, it's just bad luck
Playback, rewind
I take my time

On the 4th we ran
With our heads weighed down
Big men were all around
Our bet
Had died
Outside

Only good vibrations at the rainbow ball
Sweet vibration
Only good vibrations

Get some, tough love
Sweetheart, it's just bad luck
Single cab, times up
I did it all for the love
Heartburn, LoveTap
Grass stain, on your chinstrap
Dead stiff, upper lip
Honeybee on the night shift

There's only good vibrations at the rainbow ball
Sweet vibration
There's only good vibrations at the rainbow ball
Only good vibrations

Get some, tough love
Sweetheart, it's just bad luck
Single cab, night shift
Dead stiff, upper lip
Nerd alert, buzzkill
Honeybee, gotta oil spill
Heartburn, LoveTap
Grass stain on your chinstrap

I state my case, in hopeful grace
And take my place, ah
There's a war outside, we should all get high
And give a kiss goodbye, ah

There's just nowhere to run

On a 747 in a blood-moon sky
I heard a baby in the rear of the plane start to cry
I saw panic on the faces of people that fly
I'm just waiting for a beverage to accompany my pie

And when the fish grow wings
And the moon can sing
Oh baby, I'll come clean

There's just nowhere to run
Ah, look at me, I'll go down a mystery, ah
Are we still having fun?
Oh, when I leave you'll come chasing after me, ah

On display only, I said, "Look, don't touch"
But I peaked too early and I didn't miss much
Somebody somewhere is doing their best
And we all don't know what to make of this mess

It's a video game
And it's all the same
And it hurts your brain

Just nowhere to run
Ah, favor me, I'll go down a mystery, ah
Are we still having fun?
Oh yes, we'll see if you're ride or die for me, ah

I don't know where my mind is taking me
I only know my fear of falling
All of the roads that closed are opening
I only like to drive the backstreets

Just nowhere to run
Ah, wait and see, I'll go down a mystery, ah
Are we still having fun?
Oh, when I leave you'll come chasing after me, ah
There's just nowhere to run
Oh, we've been played, I got pride inside of me
Are we still having fun?
Oh, when I'm free you can ride or die for me, ah

If you're free tomorrow, don't make any plans
(Don't make any plans)
We can go to Sylvan Park and kick over trash cans
Love is all around me, everywhere I turn
Is that the smell of fall or the city burned?

There's a Mustang in the city
And it's calling me out
Are you a Mustang or a kitty?
What are you all about?

There's a golden globe in my office space
A muscle magazine next to the toilet
I'm getting big and strong just thinking about it (uh-uh)
And I can feel the heat of the water rise

Oh, there's a Mustang in the city
And it's calling me out
Are you a Mustang or a kitty?
What are you all about?

I saw 'em operating on a kid downstairs
I could not be bothered to pretend to care
I like to watch you eat in front of the camera
And there's a misty mornin' in your eye

Oh, there's a Mustang in the city
And it's calling me out
Are you a Mustang or a kitty?
What are you all about?
It's just a mistake and a pity
It's drownin' the crowd
Are you a Mustang or a kitty?
A Mustang or a kitty?

There was somethin' amiss in your apology

Oh, there's a Mustang in the city
And it's calling me out
Are you a Mustang or a kitty?
What are you all about?
It's a mistake and a pity
Dragging me down
You a Mustang or a kitty?
A Mustang or a kitty?

Jump to conclusion
Based on illusion
Everything is shaved ice
Fashion week's a blur
And everybody slurs
And feels out of style
Home is nice and warm, relationships are forming
Things are getting physical
I can feel the evening, reaping what we're sowing

Sounds like I could use a beating
Heart warming up to the feeling
Actual daydream awake me

While giving fate a chance
I split my favorite pants
And backed out of the chatroom
It never hurts to try
Is such a stupid lie
I won't be coming back
The story you were peddling, wasn't worth a list
And I prolonged my blinking
The colors you were seeing really had me thinking

Sounds like I could use a beating
Heart warming up to the feeling
Long nights and days without ending
Don't say I could see it coming
Something to keep my mind running
Actual daydream awake me

Gonna tear you up
Hot rush of quitting time
You got me sitting up
Snapshots unrealized
Tear me up

Home is nice and warm
Relationships are forming

Sounds like I could use a beating
Heart warming up to the feeling
Long nights and days without ending
Don't say I could see it coming
Something to keep my mind running
Actual daydream awake me

Sounds like I could use a beating
Heart warming up to the feeling
Actual daydream awake me

Another modern innovation
This time, I mean it
A hazard of the occupation
Desire when needed
Set it down before you break it
This house ain't for children
Doing jumpin' jacks in the basement
These arms are reaching out

Hyperventilation
If I could be so bold all the time

The weight of the feather
You fall like a leaf
Is this a middle-of-the-night call?
A revelation on a split screen?
To see all the color
Run from your eyes
Is this a middle-of-a-life thought?
A revelation on a split screen?

I discern some reservation
Disdain to put the boys in
At the face of obligation
The pain is in the poison
Unprescribed medication
Big plan, let's cancel
I'm a fan of your extensions
Your hair is like a puzzle

Hyperventilation
If I could be so bold all the time

The weight of the feather
You fall like a leaf
Is this a middle-of-the-night call?
A revelation on a split screen?
To see all the color
Run from your eyes
Is this a middle-of-a-life thought?
A revelation on a split screen?

Out in the shadows
The fields are moving
You pack up your head case
And move the needle
Out in the shadows
The fields are moving
You pack up your head case
And move the needle 'round
Move the needle 'round
Move the needle 'round

Bombs away
Don't stop the bleeding
Why you always look so sad?
I think you're rad
Don't stop the bleeding
Why would you say
Just barely breathing?
Everything will never change
I'm awake
Just barely breathing

Sunshiny former glory
And your baby eye
Go on and write your story
I still want you to want to
I still want you to want to, ah

Don't stop the bleeding

You got a way
I'm getting used to
Ah, you always make me smile
Once in a while
I won't deny you
While you're away
I'm left here waiting
All you gotta do is say
"I'm on my way"
"I'm on my way"

Sunshiny former glory
And your baby eye
Go on and write your story
I still want you to want to (I still want you)
I still want you to want to (I still want you)

Lightning strikes a pose and you're unfazed
It's never gonna take your place
It's never gonna take your place
And one day, heaven knows, you'll run away
It's never gonna be okay
It's never gonna be okay

Don't stop the bleeding
Oh-oh-oh-oh
Don't stop the bleeding

Bombs away
Don't stop the bleeding
Why you always look so sad?
I think you're rad
Don't stop the bleeding

Oh, oh

There's panic on the streets, man is obsolete
The wires got crossed and now we don't
Speak
There's a deer in the pool and Sperrys on the line
He's looking for directions, tell me
Is this your place or mine?
And the kid is getting tall, he's running up the wall
On the list of complaints is you don't call

'Cause you, you want nothing to do with love
You want nothing to do with love
I got the message (I got the message)
It's only legend after all
Nothing to do with

Touched by the thunder and kissed by the rain
I'm a man on a mission of going insane
There's a gold in the breeze, it's running in your hair
Is it in my head? Is neither here nor there
And a picture framed of the day we met
It's a mystery, how could I forget

That you, you want nothing to do with love
You want nothing to do with love
I got your message (I got the message)
I got the number off the wall
You want nothing to do with love

Nothing to do with love
You want nothing to do with love
Nothing to do with love
Nothing to do with love

There's panic on the street, man is obsolete
Our wires got crossed and now we don't

Instant regret, your face is red
Big home to heat, no sleep in bed
A lonely night, London just died
And if you wanna get your picture took, oh

These are the ones you relive, oh
One stop just up ahead
Ride with the tide
Out with a kiss

Big dreams, bright eyes
Wide open skies
I found new ways to kill my brain
Or if you want to take a closer look, oh

These are the ones you relive, oh
And you never regret, oh
We stood in shadows of men
Looked down on us
We looked up to them

Just a story from an open book, oh

These are the ones you relive, oh
One stop just up ahead
Ride with the tide
Out with a kiss, oh
And you never regret, oh
We stood in shadows of men
Looked down on us
We looked up to them

(One, two, one, two, three, four)

Let's take this thing apart
Rebuild it with our hands
Modify the make and model
Patch it up and see what happens
I fixed my broken ribs
I played it where it lies
I went and got away with murder
Had 'em pin it on my neighbor

Think it over
It's as good as it's gonna be

Hesitation
I had nothing to say
Conversation
Only got in the way

They made me watch the tape
They wrote me off the page
They put me where the streets are empty
Where no one would ever find me out
And in my winning chair
I nearly took the bait
Part of me was almost happy
The rest of me had left the country

Think it over
It's as good as it's gonna be

Hesitation
I had nothing to say
Conversation
Only got in the way

Hesitation
I had nothing to say
Conversation
Only got in the way
It only got in the-

I wasted a couple dollars on the ponies in the rain
I dropped down on my knees
Cut right down to size
Over a cup of coffee I was trying to explain
I could not speak your name
Barely look you in the eye

By the way, they say it stopped raining (ooh-ooh-ooh)
By your face it isn't hard to tell
This isn't going well

Ease me on
When the timing is aligning
You will know
Ease me on
When you're ready
I'll be ready, steady, go

You're sitting fine in the sunshine
Got no reason to complain
How can I ever change, oh, if I never try?

Koko brings us ice cream while we're waiting (ooh-ooh-ooh)
Waiting on the day to never end
We have to go again

Ease me on
When the timing is aligning
You will know
Ease me on
When you're ready
I'll be ready, steady, go

Always on my mind
Always on my mind
Always on my mind
Always on my mind
Always on my mind
Always on my mind
Always on my mind
Always on my mind
Always on my mind
Always on my mind
Always on my mind
You're always on my mind

There's a home upon the hillside
Up above this cloud of dirt
And the music of the windchime
Has been known to shake the earth

I'm the woman in the window
Making plans to never leave
In the prison of my building
Trying hard to not be seen
Doing my best to not be seen

Electrical underworld
Electrical underworld

Has anybody seen my baby?
Can you tell me how she's been?
The weight has finally lifted
Now we don't have to run again
We don't have to run again, no, no

Hey, coat rider
Hey, coat rider
Hey, coat rider
They don't rattle me
Hey, coat rider
They don't rattle me
Hey, coat rider
They don't rattle me
Hey, ghost rider
They don't rattle me
Hey, ghost rider
Baby, rattle me
