Little Dragon - Nabuma Rubberband Album Lyrics

Mirror

You know you're makin' me mad
The way you look at me so
Kinda making me scared
Throwin' me those eyes of scarlet
Though when I pass by
You got nothin' to say
Not even a...
Oh, and it breaks my heart
Like friends in a picture glass
We capture some moments
Now I don't recognise you
Did you lose your playful mood?
This bad attitude
Too bad
It's too bad
It's too bad
See how you're makin' me blue?
You know you're better than that
Staring at me
Playing the fool
You must have lost your mind!
See when you pass me by
You ain't got nothin' to say
How can you forget to smile
It breaks my heart
I'mma climb up these clouds
And see things clear
You're gonna make me put my fist through this mirror
I'm so sick and tired of lookin' in this mirror
See how you're makin' me blue?

Klapp Klapp

Corridor lies with the river
All watery eyes
I stand there waitin' for my turn
I turn with a rise
The spirits blow around like a hurricane whip
The girls don't mind my high scream drip

Somebody found us dancin'
You can turn off and feel better
When everything's clear like cold weather
Go feel better, feel better

Somebody from my heart said
I could turn off and never wake up
And everything's clear, my breath feels like steam fake
Feel better
Fallin' apart, apart, apart, apart, apart

Finally they call my name
The ghost inside can wake us to life
Makin' my chair do flips
By givin' into this we'll be saved every time

Fallin' through the floor on my butterfly wing
Gimme me one more, the girl from the corridor sing, she sing
I hear you want it, don't you?
I know you want it, don't you? Don't you?
I see you want it, don't you?
I know you want it, don't you? Don't you?
Fallin' apart, apart, apart, apart, apart
Fallin' apart, apart, apart, apart, apart

Somebody found us dancin'
You can turn off and feel better
When everything's clear like cold weather
Go feel better, feel better

Somebody from my heart said
You could turn off and never wake up
And everything's clear, my breath feels like steam fake
Feel better

Do you want it? Do you want it? Do you want it? Do you want it? Do you? Do you? (She says) Do you? Do you?

Do you want it? Do you want it? Do you want it? Do you want it? Do you? Do you? Do you? (She says)

Fallin' apart, apart, apart, apart, apart
Fallin' apart, apart, apart, apart, apart

Pretty Girls

The green mermaid
And the wavy mane
The California dream
Riding a unicorn through your Dalí
The free fantasy
The care free
That beginners luck
The sugar don't live up
Sailing on a banana peel
Your trophy
Start throwing up a boat to bar

You magnify the universe
Grab your purse
Grab your luck
Pretty girl, don't get stuck
You're aiming the royal scene
Fast luck
TV dreams
Pretty girl, don't get struck

So, Bubble Hills
Don't you ever burst?
Never let her down
Tossing out time
While you drag your crumbs
The birds ate their round
Hawaiian drinks in a famous face
You pose innocent
Those new lashes don't go to waste
But it could pay your rent
You magnify the universe
Grab your purse
Grab your luck
Pretty girl, don't get stuck
You're aiming the royal team
Fast luck
TV dreams
Pretty girl, don't get struck
Pretty girl, don't get stuck
Pretty girl, don't get struck
Pretty girl, don't get stuck

Underbart

Blow up the bridge and into the moment
Hop the house and into the blue
Lift to the end
You're lifting your soul
For a few seconds
Be someone new
Blow up the bridge and into the mornin'
Mornin', mornin', mornin', mornin', mornin'

Alarm clock ring
Was it your daily routine?
Your coffee's cold by now
Her face stuck in a magazine
His white shirts
Still hanging in rows on the closet door
She still hurts
Fragments of you live on
Why do you stay home?

No ordinary day
He's leaving for good
We're movin' away
Blow up the bridge and into the mornin'
Mornin', mornin', mornin', mornin', mornin'

It's your dance
Out in the garden when it's late
Cut in half
Plus lots of drum
Now you're losing face
You drove out
Before the city woke up so still
Humid air
And stories of you live on
Why do you drive home?

No ordinary day
He's leaving for good
We're movin' away
Blow up the bridge and into the mornin'
Mornin', mornin', mornin', mornin', mornin'
Hop the house and into the blue
To the end
You're lifting your soul
For a few seconds
Be someone new
Blow up the bridge and into the mornin'
Mornin', mornin', mornin', mornin', mornin'

Cat Rider

Two months ago now
Since she came around this house
Her answering machine's full
He thinks listening could give her doubts
But when this girl's made up her mind
She's made up her mind, made up her mind
Looking out to the horizon
No turnin' back
No wastin' time

Smooth cat rider
Stop bragging cause she broke your facade
Don't we all want to be stars in love
Stop playin' with the one that you love
Smooth cat rider
Stop ringin' cause it's gone to your head
So smooth
But she was smart instead
Stop playin' with the one that you love

I felt a new hole
Big old portraits of himself on the wall
Diamonds sculpt your face
This peacock is flying all over the place
The tiger's extra claws
No she's not impressed
Your laughs at stupid jokes
The only thing she missed
Now you can't stop looking back
Leaving messages

Smooth cat rider
Stop bragging cause she broke your facade
Don't we all want to be stars in love
Stop playin' with the one that you love
Smooth cat rider
Stop ringin' cause it's gone to your head
So smooth
But she was smart instead
Stop playin' with the one that you love

Empty bottles, where to go next
Knowing what you truly missed
It's too late, can't rewind it
Can't get out your king-size bed
Now you're left with names to forget
Tryin' to heal from the pain
If only you could rewind it
Would not have acted the same
Smooth cat rider
She broke your facade
Smooth cat rider
Mmhmm

Paris

Oh my god, it's green Safiya. Go!

It's that time to transform
To come around, I'm changing
Ooh, there's an angel knocking at my window
Tryna tell me where to go next
It's a small town without you
It feels cold, it's creepin'
I'm moving on, I look ahead instead

Spirit divide, drift alone
I waved her goodbye, I carried on
Dreams pass, my black dress
Folded on a big mess
I'm changing my next flight to Paris

The hourglass that tick-tock too fast for a destiny
I've got a full drawer of letters
Remember it was Paris you said we were gonna meet
Why your answering machine's still on?
It's the oddest feeling since you're gone
A part of me drift away with you
And would never return

Spirit divide, drift alone
I waved a goodbye, I carried on
Dreams pass, my black dress
Folded on a big mess
I'm changing my next flight to Paris

Spirit divide
I waved a goodbye
Dreams pass, my black dress
Folded on a big mess
I'm changing my next flight

Nabuma Rubberband

Lurad

The last bird
Smashed into a skyscraper
Under the Hong Kong lights
It fell pale
Like a sink
Landed on the night drain
Fell a strong right
While underground
The tunnel reveal
Voiceless land
The harder to feel
For being born at the wrong place
At the wrong time
With a wrong fate

Rockets fly out
Razor
Colour
Sky now
Don't forget icing on the sides
Because you can
Blinded by the rubberbands
Blinded by the rubberbands
Blinded by the love

Cigar smoke stretchin' over borders
Creepin' like a silent thief
The bird stares
Sleeping like an icon
Make it fly
Could rest in peace
Intelligent
So fly
Can't think out loud
Cause now's the time
Don't lose your job
Stare in and smile
Camera left

Rockets fly out
Razor
Colour
Sky now
Don't forget icing on the sides
Because you can
Blinded by the rubberbands
Blinded by the rubberbands
Blinded by the love
Rockets fly out
Razor
Colour
Sky now
Don't forget icing on the sides
Because you can
Blinded by the rubberbands
Blinded by the rubberbands
Blinded by the love

Only One

Ooh, ooh, ooh
It was spring
That look, that look you gave
Ooh, ooh, ooh
Wrap it up far
Won't you let him slumber?
Whisper the name
Sunrise gone
If there's no tomorrow
Just wait all the same
Ooh, ooh, ooh
You've been gone
Been locked up
Should've wrote you long
Pitch black before they ask you for your last words
Softly spoken lines
You're mumbling and maybe she heard
Say it one more time
Not even a river on her cheek
She sat across the bar for weeks
Getting sober
Ooh, ooh, ooh
The world is numb
Ooh, ooh, ooh
And cruel for some
Ooh
The bubbles swing
And she brakes
The only one in her heart
Ooh

The girl, she jumped from the rooftop
And now had landed
Because you woke from your sleep
But you have the wings to be a soul
Another lullaby to sing now
There's a place far away that's better
You said, "I want us to go there"
She said, "I'll go as long as we stay together"
"'Cause you're the only one"

Only one that's in my heart
Only one that's in my heart
Only one that's in my heart
Only one that's in my heart
Only one that's in my heart
Only one that's in my heart
Only one that's in my heart
Only one that's in my heart
Only one that's in my heart
Only one that's in my heart
Only one that's in my heart
Only one that's in my heart

Heart

Killing Me

Mood swing
Have another drink
What's that you said?
I see a side of you
Pass the eyes and through

Sticks and stones
Lucky clover
This carousel's taking me home
Back of a taxi used
Ten more blocks to cruise, yeah, yeah

Now that I'm home
Outside's in here
No longer with you
You created a space
I'll take my rocket ship
And get the hell out of this
Nothing that I'm gonna miss
You're killing me
You're killing me
You're killing me
You're killing me

Time, hurry
Heal my every wound
Don't burden me
Lead me to symphonies
I'm like a masterpiece

Gold beam
Dazzle every step
Time will bring
Sweet offering
Brand new
Nothing there to lose
Yeah, yeah

Now that I'm home
Outside's in here
No longer with you
You created a space
I'll take my rocket ship
And get the hell out of this
Nothing that I'm gonna miss
But you're killing me
You're killing me
You're killing me

You're killing me

Now that I'm home
Outside's in here
No longer with you
You created a space
I'll take my rocket ship
And get the hell out of this
I'm makin' a spider howl
Watch you killing me

Pink Cloud

Listen day by day
Post the work you share
Drivin' in a lifetime
Watching the silver blowing hair
Watching the cats lined in a row
Catching eyes and forcing zoom
Electric clouds of information to fall down
Too fast!

My world spin faster
Your world spin faster
My world spin
Your world spin
Our world spin faster

Blind, I'm blind, I'm blind
I couldn't follow rules if I tried
Now we fall at such a speed
Leaving kind for machine
Leaving souls stare are screens
So caught up with the things I don't need
So fast!

The world spin fast
My world spin faster
Your world spin
Your worlds spin
The world spin fast

Faster

Let Go

You disappeared all of a sudden
But where?
I've forgotten to check
To follow the hum and the rain
To follow the drummer
We lie
So in love
But this love is not for everyone
And I'm just draggin' along
Don't want it ever to stop

Daylight spring 'em up along
I did and my work began to go, oh
And if I ever did you wrong
It's rain on

Let go of everything I know
I know you're catchin' up soon
Sweet nights with you
Let go so the rain may yawn
We're spoiled and break on here, on here

Do you feel so immortal?
So real?
Pushing under the rain
Feeling thunder and pain
Oh, I've forgotten to follow the drum
I'm laying here falling in love
Draggin' along
Don't want it ever to stop

Daylight spring 'em up along
I did and my work began to go, oh
And if I ever did you wrong
It's rain on

Let go of everything I know
I know you're catchin' up soon
Sweet nights with you
Let go so the rain may yawn
We're spoiled and break on here, on here

On here, on here
On here, on here

Let go of everything I know
I know you're catchin' up soon
Sweet nights with you
Let go so the rain may yawn
We're spoiled and break on here, on here
