Lorde Lyrics

Green Light lyrics - Lorde

I do my make-up in somebody else's car

We order different drinks at the same bars

I know about what you did and I wanna scream the truth

She thinks you love the beach, you're such a damn liar

(Liar, liar, liar, liar, liar, liar, liar, liar)

Well, those great whites, they have big teeth

Hope they bite you

Thought you said that you would always be in love

But you're not in love, no more

Did it frighten you

How we kissed when we danced on the light-up floor?

On the light-up floor

But I hear sounds in my mind

Brand new sounds in my mind

But, honey, I'll be seein' you 'ever I go

But, honey, I'll be seein' you down every road

I'm waiting for it, that green light, I want it

'Cause, honey, I'll come get my things, but I can't let go

I'm waiting for it, that green light, I want it

Oh, I wish I could get my things and just let go

I'm waiting for it, that green light, I want it

Sometimes I wake up in a different bedroom

I whisper things, the city sings them back to you

Well, those rumours, they have big teeth

Hope they bite you

Thought you said that you would always be in love

But you're not in love, no more

Did it frighten you

How we kissed when we danced on the light-up floor?

On the light-up floor

But I hear sounds in my mind

Brand new sounds in my mind

But, honey, I'll be seein' you 'ever I go

But, honey, I'll be seein' you down every road

I'm waiting for it, that green light, I want it

'Cause, honey, I'll come get my things, but I can't let go

I'm waiting for it, that green light, I want it

Oh, honey, I'll come get my things, but I can't let go

I'm waiting for it, that green light, I want it

Yeah, honey, I'll come get my things, but I can't let go

I'm waiting for it, that green light, I want it

Oh, I wish I could get my things and just let go

I'm waiting for it, that green light, I want it

Sober lyrics - Lorde

Night, midnight, lose my mind

(When you get to my high, when you get to my)

Night, midnight

Oh, God, I'm clean out of air in my lungs

It's all gone

Played it so nonchalant

It's time we danced with the truth

Move alone with the truth

Ooh (hey)

We're sleeping through all the days

I'm acting like I don't see

Every ribbon you used to tie yourself to me

But my hips have missed your hips

So, let's get to know the kicks

Will you sway with me?

Go astray with me?

(Ah ha)

We're King and Queen of the weekend

Ain't a pill that could touch our rush

(But what will we do when we're sober?)

When you dream with a fever

Bet you wish you could touch our rush

(But what will we do when we're sober?)

These are the games of the weekend

We pretend that we just don't care

But we care

(But what will we do when we're sober?)

When you dream with a fever

Bet you wish you could touch our rush

(But what will we do when we're sober?)

Oh, God, I'm closing my teeth

Around this liquor-wet lime

Midnight, lose my mind

I know you're feeling it too

Can we keep up with the ruse?

Ah ah (hey)

B-bodies all through my house

I know this story by heart:

Jack and Jill get fucked up and possessive

When it get dark

But my hips have missed your hips

So, let's get to know the kicks

Will you sway with me?

Go astray with me?

(Ah ha)

We're King and Queen of the Weekend

Ain't a pill that could touch our rush

(But what will we do when we're sober?)

When you dream with a fever

Bet you wish you could touch our rush

(But what will we do when we're sober?)

These are the games of the weekend

We pretend that we just don't care

But we care

(But what will we do when we're sober?)

When you dream with a fever

Bet you wish you could touch our rush

(But what will we do when we're sober?)

Midnight, we're fading

'Til daylight, we're jaded

We know that it's over

In the morning, you'll be dancing with all the heartache

And the treason, the fantasies of leaving

But we know that, when it's over

In the morning, you'll be dancing with us

(Midnight, lose my mind, midnight, lose my mind)

Oh, dancing with us

(But what will we do when we're sober?)

Oh, you'll be dancing with us

(Can you feel it? Can you feel it?)

Dancing with us, us

(But what will we do when we're sober?)

When you get to my high (midnight, lose my mind)

When you get to my (midnight, lose my mind)

Homemade Dynamite lyrics - Lorde

A couple rebel Top Gun pilots

Flying with nowhere to be

Don't know you super well

But I think that you might be the same as me

Behave abnormally

Let's let things come out of the woodwork

I'll give you my best side

Tell you all my best lies

Yeah, awesome right?

So let's let things come out of the woodwork

I'll give you my best side

Tell you all my best lies

Seeing me rolling, showing someone else love

Dancing with our shoes off

Know I think you're awesome, right?

Our rules, our dreams, we're blind

Blowing shit up with homemade d-d-d-dynamite

Our friends, our drinks, we get inspired

Blowing shit up with homemade d-d-d-dynamite

Might get your friend to drive

But he can hardly see

We'll end up painted on the road

Red and chrome, all the broken glass sparkling

I guess we're partying

So let's let things come out of the woodwork

I'll give you my best side

Tell you all my best lies

See me rolling, showing someone else love

Hands under your T-shirt

Know I think you're awesome, right?

Our rules, our dreams, we're blind

Blowing shit up with homemade d-d-d-dynamite

Our friends, our drinks, we get inspired

Blowing shit up with homemade d-d-d-dynamite

Now you know it's really gonna blow (boo)

Our rules, our dreams, we're blind

Blowing shit up with homemade d-d-d-dynamite

Our friends, our drinks, we get inspired

Blowing shit up with homemade d-d-d-dynamite

Our rules, our dreams, we're blind

Blowing shit up with homemade d-d-d-dynamite

Our friends, our drinks, we get inspired

Blowing shit up with homemade d-d-d-dynamite

The Louvre lyrics - Lorde

Well, summer slipped us underneath her tongue

Our days and nights are perfumed with obsession

Half of my wardrobe is on your bedroom floor

Use our eyes, throw our hands overboard

I am your sweetheart psychopathic crush

Drink up your movements, still I can't get enough

I overthink your p-punctuation use

Not my fault, just a thing that my mind do

A rush at the beginning

I get caught up, just for a minute

But lover, you're the one to blame

All that you're doing

Can you hear the violence?

Megaphone to my chest

Broadcast the boom, boom, boom, boom

And make 'em all dance to it

Broadcast the boom, boom, boom, boom

And make 'em all dance to it

Broadcast the boom, boom, boom, boom

And make 'em all dance to it

Broadcast the boom, boom, boom, boom

And make 'em all dance to it

Broadcast the boom, boom, boom, boom

And make 'em all dance to it

Our thing progresses, I call and you come through

Blow all my friendships to sit in hell with you

But we're the greatest, they'll hang us in the Louvre

Down the back, but who cares? Still the Louvre

Okay, I know that you are not my type (Still I fall)

I'm just the sucker who let you fill her mind (But what about love?)

Nothing wrong with it, supernatural

Just move in close to me, closer, you'll feel it coasting

A rush at the beginning

I get caught up, just for a minute

But lover, you're the one to blame

All that you're doing

Can you hear the violence?

Megaphone to my chest

Broadcast the boom, boom, boom, boom

And make 'em all dance to it

Broadcast the boom, boom, boom, boom

And make 'em all dance to it

Broadcast the boom, boom, boom, boom

And make 'em all dance to it

Broadcast the boom, boom, boom, boom

And make 'em all dance to it

Broadcast the boom, boom, boom, boom

And make 'em all dance to it

Liability lyrics - Lorde

Go for it

One, two

Baby really hurt me

Crying in the taxi

He don't wanna know me

Says he made the big mistake of dancing in my storm

Says it was poison

So I guess I'll go home

Into the arms of the girl that I love

The only love I haven't screwed up

She's so hard to please

But she's a forest fire

I do my best to meet her demands

Play at romance, we slow dance

In the living room, but all that a stranger would see

Is one girl swaying alone

Stroking her cheek

They say, "You're a little much for me

You're a liability

You're a little much for me"

So they pull back, make other plans

I understand, I'm a liability

Get you wild, make you leave

I'm a little much for

E-a-na-na-na, everyone

The truth is I am a toy

That people enjoy

'Til all of the tricks don't work anymore

And then they are bored of me

I know that it's exciting

Running through the night, but

Every perfect summer's

Eating me alive until you're gone

Better on my own

They say, "You're a little much for me

You're a liability

You're a little much for me"

So they pull back, make other plans

I understand, I'm a liability

Get you wild, make you leave

I'm a little much for

E-a-na-na-na, everyone

They're gonna watch me

Disappear into the sun

You're all gonna watch me

Disappear into the sun

Hard Feelings / Loveless lyrics - Lorde

[Hard Feelings]

Go back and tell it

Please, could you be tender?

And I will sit close to you

Let's give it a minute before we admit that we're through

Guess this is the winter

Our bodies are young and blue

I'm at Jungle City, it's late and this song is for you

'Cause I remember the rush, when forever was us

Before all of the winds of regret and mistrust

Now we sit in your car and our love is a ghost

Well, I guess I should go, yeah, I guess I should go

Hard feelings

These are what they call hard feelings of love

When sweet words and fevers

All leave us right here in the cold, oh, oh

Alone with the hard feelings of love

God, I wish I believed ya

When you told me this was my home, oh, oh

I light all the candles

Cut flowers for all my rooms

I care for myself the way I used to care about you

These days, we kiss and we keep busy

The waves come after midnight

I call from underwater

Why even try to get right?

When you've outgrown a lover (Oh)

The whole world knows but you (Oh)

It's time to let go of this endless summer afternoon

Hard feelings

These are what they call hard feelings of love

When sweet words and fevers

All leave us right here in the cold, oh, oh

Alone with the hard feelings of love

God, I wish I believed ya

When you told me this was my home, oh, oh

Three years, loved you every single day

Made me weak, it was real for me, yeah, real for me

Now I'll fake it every single day

'Til I don't need fantasy, 'til I feel you leave

But I still remember everything

How we'd drift buying groceries, how you'd dance for me

I'll start letting go of little things

'Til I'm so far away from you, far away from you, yeah

[Loveless]

"What is this tape?"

"This is my favorite tape"

Bet you wanna rip my heart out

Bet you wanna skip my calls now

Well, guess what? I'd like that

'Cause I'm gonna mess your life up

Gonna wanna tape my mouth shut

Look out, lovers

We're L-O-V-E-L-E-S-S generation

L-O-V-E-L-E-S-S generation

All fuckin' with our lover's heads generation

Bet you wanna rip my heart out

Bet you wanna skip my calls now

Well, guess what? I'd like that

'Cause I'm gonna mess your life up

Gonna wanna tape my mouth shut

Look out, lovers

We're L-O-V-E-L-E-S-S generation

L-O-V-E-L-E-S-S (Look out, lovers) generation

All fuckin' with our lover's heads generation (Look out, lovers)

L-O-V-E-L-E-S-S generation

L-O-V-E-L-E-S-S

Sober II (Melodrama) lyrics - Lorde

You asked if I was feeling it, I'm psycho high

Know you won't remember in the morning when I speak my mind

Lights are on and they've gone home, but who am I?

Oh, how fast the evening passes

Cleaning up the champagne glasses

We told you this was melodrama

(Oh, how fast the evening passes

Cleaning up the champagne glasses)

Our only wish is melodrama

(Oh, how fast the evening passes

Cleaning up the champagne glasses)

And the terror and the horror

When we wonder why we bother, whoa, whoa

And the terror and the horror

God, I wonder why we bother, whoa, whoa

All the glamour and the trauma

And the fuckin' melodrama, whoa, whoa

All the gun fights and the lime lights

And the holy sick divine nights, whoa

(Holy sick divine nights, whoa)

They'll talk about us, all the lovers

How we kiss and kill each other, whoa

They'll talk about us, and discover

How we kissed and killed each other, whoa

(And we'll tell them)

We told you this was melodrama

You wanted something that we offer

We told you this was melodrama

You wanted something that we offer

We told you this was melodrama

You wanted something that we offer

We told you this was melodrama

You wanted something that we offer

We told you this was melodrama

Writer In The Dark lyrics - Lorde

Break the news—you're walking out

To be a good man for someone else

Sorry I was never good like you

Stood on my chest and kept me down

Hated hearing my name on the lips of a crowd

Did my best to exist just for you

Bet you rue the day you kissed a writer in the dark

Now she's gonna play and sing and lock you in her heart

Bet you rue the day you kissed a writer in the dark

I am my mother's child, I'll love you 'til my breathing stops

I'll love you 'til you call the cops on me

But in our darkest hours, I stumbled on a secret power

I'll find a way to be without you, babe

I still feel you, now and then

Slow like pseudo-ephedrine

When you see me, will you say I've changed?

I ride the subway, read the signs

I let the seasons change my mind

I love it here since I've stopped needing you

Bet you rue the day you kissed a writer in the dark

Now she's gonna play and sing and lock you in her heart

Bet you rue the day you kissed a writer in the dark

I am my mother's child, I'll love you 'til my breathing stops

I'll love you 'til you call the cops on me

But in our darkest hours, I stumbled on a secret power

I'll find a way to be without you, babe

I am my mother's child, I'll love you 'til my breathing stops

I'll love you 'til you call the cops on me

But in our darkest hours, I stumbled on a secret power

I'll find a way to be without you, babe

Supercut lyrics - Lorde

In my head

I play a supercut of us

All the magic we gave off

All the love we had and lost

And in my head

The visions never stop

These ribbons wrap me up

But when I reach for you

There's just a supercut

In your car, the radio up

We keep trying to talk about us

I'm someone you maybe might love

I'll be your quiet afternoon crush

Be your violent overnight rush

Make you crazy over my touch

But it's just a supercut of us

Supercut of us

Oh, it's just a supercut of us

Supercut of us

So I fall

Into continents and cars

All the stages and the stars

I turn all of it

To just a supercut

'Cause in my head (In my head, I do everything right)

When you call (When you call, I'll forgive and not fight)

Because ours are the moments I play in the dark

We were wild and fluorescent, come home to my heart, uh

In your car, the radio up

We keep trying to talk about us

Slow motion, I'm watching our love

I'll be your quiet afternoon crush

Be your violent overnight rush

Make you crazy over my touch

But it's just a supercut of us

Supercut of us

Oh, it's just a supercut of us

Supercut of us

But it's just a supercut of us

Supercut of us

Oh, it's just a supercut of us

Supercut of us

'Cause in my head, in my head, I do everything right

When you call, I'll forgive and not fight

All the moments I play in the dark

Wild, fluorescent, come home to my heart, uh

'Cause in my head (In my head, I do everything right)

When you call (When you call, I'll forgive and not fight)

Because ours are the moments I play in the dark

We were wild and fluorescent, come home to my heart, uh

'Cause in my head (In my head, I do everything right)

When you call (When you call, I'll forgive and not fight)

Because ours are the moments I play in the dark

We were wild and fluorescent, come home to my heart, uh

In my head, I do everything right

Liability (Reprise) lyrics - Lorde

I'm a liability, I'm a liability

Much for me

You're a little much for me, no, no, no, no

And what ya gonna do? Whoa

All of the dreams that get harder

All of the things that I offer you, ay

And all of the shit that we harbour

Make all of the kids in the choirs sing, "Woo-hoo"

And maybe all this is the party

Maybe the tears and the highs we breathe, oh no

And maybe all this is the party

Maybe we just do it violently

But you're not what you thought you were

(Liability) But you're not what you thought you were

(Much for me) But you're not what you thought you were

Leave

Perfect Places lyrics - Lorde

Every night, I live and die

Feel the party to my bones

Watch the wasters blow the speakers

Spill my guts beneath the outdoor light

It's just another graceless night

I hate the headlines and the weather

I'm 19 and I'm on fire

But when we're dancing, I'm alright

It's just another graceless night

Are you lost enough?

Have another drink, get lost in us

This is how we get notorious, oh

'Cause I don't know

If they keep tellin' me where to go

I'll blow my brains out to the radio, oh-oh-oh

Ch, ch

All of the things we're taking

'Cause we are young and we're ashamed

Send us to perfect places

All of our heroes fading

Now I can't stand to be alone

Let's go to perfect places

Every night, I live and die

Meet somebody, take 'em home

Let's kiss and then take off our clothes

It's just another graceless night

'Cause all of the things we're taking

'Cause we are young and we're ashamed

Send us to perfect places

All of our heroes fading

Now I can't stand to be alone

Let's go to perfect places

All the nights spent off our faces

Trying to find these perfect places

What the fuck are perfect places, anyway?

All the nights spent off our faces

Trying to find these perfect places

What the fuck are perfect places, anyway?

All the nights spent off our faces

Trying to find these perfect places

What the fuck are perfect places, anyway?

Tennis Court lyrics - Lorde

Don't you think that it's boring how people talk

Making smart with their words again, well I'm bored

Because I'm doing this for the thrill of it, killin' it

Never not chasing a million things I want

And I am only as young as the minute is full of it

Getting pumped up on the little bright things I bought

But I know they'll never own me

(Yeah)

Baby be the class clown

I'll be the beauty queen in tears

It's a new art form showing people how little we care (yeah)

We're so happy, even when we're smilin' out of fear

Let's go down to the tennis court, and talk it up like yeah (yeah)

Pretty soon I'll be getting on my first plane

I'll see the veins of my city like they do in space

But my head's filling up fast with the wicked games, up in flames

How can I fuck with the fun again, when I'm known

And my boys trip me up with their heads again, loving them

Everything's cool when we're all in line for the throne

But I know it's not forever

(Yeah)

Baby be the class clown

I'll be the beauty queen in tears

It's a new art form showing people how little we care (yeah)

We're so happy, even when we're smilin' out of fear

Let's go down to the tennis court, and talk it up like yeah (yeah)

It looked alright in the pictures (yeah)

Getting caught's half of the trip though, isn't it?

I fall apart with all my heart (yeah)

And you could watch from your window (yeah)

[Laughs]

And you can watch from your window

Baby be the class clown

I'll be the beauty queen in tears

It's a new art form showing people how little we care (yeah)

We're so happy, even when we're smilin' out of fear

Let's go down to the tennis court, and talk it up like yeah (yeah)

And talk it up like yeah (yeah)

Let's go down to the tennis court, and talk it up like yeah (yeah)

And talk it up like yeah (yeah)

Let's go down to the tennis court, and talk it up like yeah

(Yeah)

400 Lux lyrics - Lorde

We're never done with killing time

Can I kill it with you

'Til the veins run red and blue?

We come around here all the time

Got a lot to not do

Let me kill it with you

You pick me up and take me home again

Head out the window again

We're hollow like the bottles that we drain

You drape your wrists over the steering wheel

Pulses can drive from here

We might be hollow, but we're brave

And I like you

I love these roads where the houses don't change (and I like you)

Where we can talk like there's something to say (and I like you)

I'm glad that we stopped kissing the tar on the highway (and I like you)

We move in the tree streets

I'd like it if you stayed

Now we're wearing long sleeves and the heating comes on

(You buy me orange juice)

We're getting good at this

Dreams of clean teeth

I can tell that you're tired

But you keep the car on

While you're waiting out front

You pick me up and take me home again

Head out the window again

We're hollow like the bottles that we drain

You drape your wrists over the steering wheel

Pulses can drive from here

We might be hollow, but we're brave

And I like you

I love these roads where the houses don't change (and I like you)

Where we can talk like there's something to say (and I like you)

I'm glad that we stopped kissing the tar on the highway (and I like you)

We move in the tree streets

I'd like it if you stayed

We're never done with killing time

Can I kill it with you

'Til the veins run red and blue?

We come around here all the time

Got a lot to not do

Let me kill it with you

And I like you

I love these roads where the houses don't change (and I like you)

Where we can talk like there's something to say (and I like you)

I'm glad that we stopped kissing the tar on the highway (and I like you)

We move in the tree streets

I'd like it if you stayed

And I like you

Royals lyrics - Lorde

I've never seen a diamond in the flesh

I cut my teeth on wedding rings in the movies

And I'm not proud of my address

In a torn-up town, no postcode envy

But every song's like gold teeth, Grey Goose, trippin' in the bathroom

Bloodstains, ball gowns, trashin' the hotel room

We don't care, we're driving Cadillacs in our dreams

But everybody's like Cristal, Maybach, diamonds on your timepiece

Jet planes, islands, tigers on a gold leash

We don't care, we aren't caught up in your love affair

And we'll never be royals (royals)

It don't run in our blood

That kind of luxe just ain't for us

We crave a different kind of buzz

Let me be your ruler (ruler)

You can call me Queen Bee

And baby I'll rule, I'll rule, I'll rule, I'll rule

Let me live that fantasy

My friends and I, we've cracked the code

We count our dollars on the train to the party

And everyone who knows us knows that we're fine with this

We didn't come from money

But every song's like gold teeth, Grey Goose, trippin' in the bathroom

Bloodstains, ball gowns, trashin' the hotel room

We don't care, we're driving Cadillacs in our dreams

But everybody's like Cristal, Maybach, diamonds on your timepiece

Jet planes, islands, tigers on a gold leash

We don't care, we aren't caught up in your love affair

And we'll never be royals (royals)

It don't run in our blood

That kind of luxe just ain't for us

We crave a different kind of buzz

Let me be your ruler (ruler)

You can call me Queen Bee

And baby I'll rule, I'll rule, I'll rule, I'll rule

Let me live that fantasy

Ooh ooh oh

We're bigger than we ever dreamed

And I'm in love with being queen

Ooh ooh oh

Life is great without a care

We aren't caught up in your love affair

And we'll never be royals (royals)

It don't run in our blood

That kind of luxe just ain't for us

We crave a different kind of buzz

Let me be your ruler (ruler)

You can call me Queen Bee

And baby I'll rule, I'll rule, I'll rule, I'll rule

Let me live that fantasy

Ribs lyrics - Lorde

The drink you spilt all over me

"Lover's Spit" left on repeat

My mum and dad let me stay home

It drives you crazy getting old

We can talk it so good

We can make it so divine

We can talk it good, how you wish it would be all the time

The drink you spilt all over me

"Lover's Spit" left on repeat

My mum and dad let me stay home

It drives you crazy getting old

The drink you spilt all over me

"Lover's Spit" left on repeat

My mum and dad let me stay home

It drives you crazy getting old

This dream isn't feeling sweet

We're reeling through the midnight streets

And I've never felt more alone

It feels so scary getting old

We can talk it so good

We can make it so divine

We can talk it good, how you wish it would be all the time

This dream isn't feeling sweet

We're reeling through the midnight streets

And I've never felt more alone

Feels so scary getting old

This dream isn't feeling sweet

We're reeling through the midnight streets

And I've never felt more alone

Feels so scary getting old

I want them back (I want them back)

The minds we had (the minds we had)

How all the thoughts (how all the thoughts)

Moved 'round our heads (moved 'round our heads)

I want them back (I want them back)

The minds we had (the minds we had)

It's not enough to feel the lack (I want them back, I want them back)

I want 'em

You're the only friend I need (you're the only friend I need)

Sharing beds like little kids (sharing beds like little kids)

And laughing 'til our ribs get tough (and laughing 'til our ribs get tough)

But that will never be enough (but that will never be enough)

You're the only friend I need (you're the only friend I need)

Sharing beds like little kids (sharing beds like little kids)

And laughing 'til our ribs get tough (and laughing 'til our ribs get tough)

But that will never be enough (but that will never be enough)

That will never be enough

Buzzcut Season lyrics - Lorde

I remember when your head caught flame

It kissed your scalp and caressed your brain

(I remember when your head caught flame)

Well, you laughed, baby, it's OK

It's buzzcut season, anyway

(Well, you laughed, baby, it's OK)

Explosions on TV

And all the girls with heads inside a dream

So now we live beside the pool

Where everything is good

We ride the bus with the knees pulled in

People should see how we're living

(We ride the bus with the knees pulled in)

Shut my eyes to the song that plays

Sometimes this has a hot, sweet taste

(Shut my eyes to the song that plays)

The men up on the news

They try to tell us all that we will lose

But it's so easy in this blue

Where everything is good

And I'll never go home again

(Place the call, feel it start)

Favorite friend

(And nothing's wrong when nothing's true)

I live in a hologram with you

We're all the things that we do for fun

(And I'll breathe, and it goes)

Play along

(Make-believe, it's hyper real)

But I live in a hologram with you

Cola with the burnt-out taste

I'm the one you tell your fears to

There'll never be enough of us

Explosions on TV

And all the girls with heads inside a dream

So now we live beside the pool

Where everything is good

And I'll never go home again

(Place the call, feel it start)

Favorite friend

(And nothing's wrong when nothing's true)

I live in a hologram with you

We're all the things that we do for fun

(And I'll breathe, and it goes)

Play along

(Make-believe, it's hyper real)

But I live in a hologram with you

Team lyrics - Lorde

Wait till you're announced

We've not yet lost all our graces

The hounds will stay in chains

Look upon Your Greatness and she'll

Send the call out, send the call out

Call all the ladies out

They're in their finery

A hundred jewels on throats

A hundred jewels between teeth

Now bring my boys in

Their skin in craters like the moon

The moon we love like a brother

While he glows through the room

Dancin' around the lies we tell

Dancin' around big eyes, as well

Even the comatose

They don't dance and tell

We live in cities you'll never see on-screen

Not very pretty, but we sure know how to run things

Livin' in ruins of a palace within my dreams

And you know, we're on each other's team

I'm kind of over gettin' told to throw my hands up in the air

So there

So all the cups got broke

Shards beneath our feet

But it wasn't my fault

And everyone's competing

For a love they won't receive

'Cause what this palace wants is release

We live in cities you'll never see on-screen

Not very pretty, but we sure know how to run things

Livin' in ruins of a palace within my dreams

And you know, we're on each other's team

I'm kind of over gettin' told to throw my hands up in the air

So there

I'm kind of older than I was when I reveled without a care

So there

We live in cities you'll never see on-screen

Not very pretty, but we sure know how to run things

Livin' in ruins of a palace within my dreams

And you know, we're on each other's team

We're on each other's team

And you know, we're on each other's team

We're on each other's team

And you know, and you know, and you know

Glory And Gore lyrics - Lorde

There's a humming in the restless summer air

And we're slipping off the course that we prepared

But in all chaos, there is calculation

Dropping glasses just to hear them break

You've been drinking like the world was gonna end (it didn't)

Took a shiner from the fist of your best friend (go figure)

It's clear that someone's gotta go

We mean it but I promise we're not mean

And the cry goes out

They lose their minds for us

And how it plays out

Now we're in the ring

And we're coming for blood

(Oh! Oh!)

You could try and take us (oh-oh)

But we're the gladiators (Oh! Oh!)

Everyone a rager (oh-oh)

But secretly they're saviors

Glory and gore go hand in hand

That's why we're making headlines (Oh! Oh!)

You could try and take us (oh-oh)

But victory's contagious

Delicate in every way but one (the swordplay)

God knows we like archaic kinds of fun (the old way)

Chance is the only game I play with, baby

We let our battles choose us

And the cry goes out

They lose their minds for us

And how it plays out

Now we're in the ring

And we're coming for blood

(Oh! Oh!)

You could try and take us (oh-oh)

But we're the gladiators (Oh! Oh!)

Everyone a rager (oh-oh)

But secretly they're saviors

Glory and gore go hand in hand

That's why we're making headlines (Oh! Oh!)

You could try and take us (oh-oh)

But victory's contagious

No-one round here's good at keeping their eyes closed

The sun's starting to light up when we're walking home

Tired little laughs, gold-lie promises: we'll always win at this

I don't ever think about death

It's alright if you do, it's fine

We gladiate but I guess we're really fighting ourselves

Roughing up our minds so we're ready when the kill time comes

Wide awake in bed, words in my brain,

"Secretly you love this do you even wanna go free?"

Let me in the ring, I'll show you what that big word means

(Oh! Oh!)

You could try and take us (oh-oh)

But we're the gladiators (Oh! Oh!)

Everyone a rager (oh-oh)

But secretly they're saviors

Glory and gore go hand in hand

That's why we're making headlines (Oh! Oh!)

You could try and take us (oh-oh)

But victory's contagious

Still Sane lyrics - Lorde

Today is my birthday, and I'm riding high

Hair is dripping, hiding that I'm terrified

But this is summer, playing dumber than in fall

Everything I say falls right back

Into everything I'm not

In the swing of things

But what I really mean is

Not in the swing of things yet

Riding around on the bikes, we're still sane

I won't be her, tripping over on-stage

Hey, it's all cool, I still like hotels, but I think that'll change

Still like hotels, and my newfound fame

Hey, promise I can stay good

(Everything feels right)

I'm little, but I'm coming for the crown

I'm little, but I'm coming for you

(Chase paper, get by)

I'm little but I'm coming for the title

Held by everyone who's up

All work and no play

Never made me lose it

All business all day

Keeps me up a level

All work and no play

Keeps me on the new shit, yeah

All work and no play

Let me count the bruises

All business all day

Keeps me up a level

All work and no play

Lonely on that new shit, yeah, yeah

Only bad people live to see their likeness set in stone

What does that make me?

I'm not in the swing of things

But what I really mean is

Not in the swing of things yet

I'm not in the swing of things

But what I really mean is

Not in the swing of things yet

All work and no play

Never made me lose it

All business all day

Keeps me up a level

All work and no play

Keeps me on the new shit, yeah

White Teeth Teens lyrics - Lorde

We wouldn't be seen dead here in the day

I guess you're lucky that it's dark now

And if I like it then we'll stay

Impress the empress, take a shot now

We got the glow in our mouths

White teeth teens are out

White teeth teens are up for it

I know you love it when the hairpins start to drop

I like your reckoning

But we got our methods and there's nothing here to stop

To stop this

If you want we'll help tonight to split its seams

Give the bruises out like gifts

You'll get the picture of your dreams

I won't be smiling

But the notes from my admirers

Fill the dashboard just the same

We got the glow in our mouths

White teeth teens are out

White teeth teens are up for it

I know you love it when the hairpins start to drop

I like your reckoning

But we got our methods and there's nothing here to stop

To stop us when we're up for it

I know you love it when the hairpins start to drop

I like your reckoning

But we got our methods and there's nothing here to stop

To stop this

[Repeat in background:]

And everything works out so good

I wear the robe like no one could

I'll let you in on something big

I am not a white teeth teen

I tried to join but never did

The way they are, the way they seem is something else, it's in the blood

Their molars blinking like the lights, in the underpass where we all sit

And do nothing

And love it

[Repeat in background:]

And everything works out so good

I wear the robe like no one could

We got the glow in our mouths

White teeth teens are out

A World Alone lyrics - Lorde

That slow burn wait while it gets dark, bruising the sun

I feel grown up with you in your car, I know it's dumb

Ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh

We've both got a million bad habits to kick, not sleeping is one

We're biting our nails, you're biting my lip, I'm biting my tongue

Ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh

People are talking, people are talking (ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh)

People are talking, people are talking

Raise a glass, 'cause I'm not done saying it

They all wanna get rough, get away with it

Let 'em talk 'cause we're dancing in this world alone, world alone, we're alone

All my fake friends and all of their noise, complain about work

They're studying business, I study the floor, and you haven't stopped smoking all night

Maybe the Internet raised us, or maybe people are jerks

(People are talking, people are talking)

But not you

(People are talking, people are talking)

Raise a glass, 'cause I'm not done saying it

They all wanna get rough, get away with it

Let 'em talk 'cause we're dancing in this world alone, world alone, we're alone

All the double-edged people and schemes

They make a mess then go home and get clean

You're my best friend, and we're dancing in a world alone, a world alone, we're alone

I know we're not everlasting

We're a train wreck waiting to happen

One day the blood won't flow so gladly

One day we'll all get still

(People are talking, people are talking)

Get still

Ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh

People are talking, people are talking (ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh)

People are talking, people are talking

Ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh

People are talking, people are talking (ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh)

People are talking, people are talking

Raise a glass, 'cause I'm not done saying it

They all wanna get rough, get away with it

Let 'em talk 'cause we're dancing in this world alone, world alone, we're alone

All the double-edged people and schemes

They make a mess then go home and get clean

You're my best friend and we're dancing in a world alone, a world alone, we're alone

People are talking, people are talking

Let 'em talk

Bravado lyrics - Lorde

All my life

I've been fighting a war

I can't talk to you or your friends

It's not only you

My heart jumps around when I'm alluded to

This will not do

'Cause I was raised up

To be admired to be noticed

But when you're withdrawn it's the closest thing

To assault when all eyes are on you

This will not do

Oh, oh, oh, oh

I'm faking glory

Lick my lips toss my hair

And turn the smile on

And the story's brand-new

But I can take it from here

I'll find my own bravado

It's a switch flipped

It's a pill tipped back, it's a moon eclipsed, whoa

And I can tell you that when the lights come on I'll be ready for this

It's in your bloodstream

A collision of atoms that happens before your eyes

It's a marathon run or a mountain you scale without thinking of size

I was frightened of every little thing that I thought was out to get me down

To trip me up and laugh at me

But I learnt not to want

The quiet of the room with no one around to find me out

I want the applause, the approval, the things that make me go

Oh, oh, oh, oh

It's a switch flipped

It's a pill tipped back, it's a moon eclipsed, whoa

And I can tell you that when the lights come on I'll be ready for this

It's in your blood stream

A collision of atoms that happens before your eyes

It's a marathon run or a mountain you scale without thinking of size

I was frightened of every little thing that I thought was out to get me down

To trip me up and laugh at me

But I learnt not to want

The quiet of the room with no one around to find me out

I want the applause, the approval, the things that make me go

Oh, oh, oh, oh

Royals lyrics - Lorde

I've never seen a diamond in the flesh

I cut my teeth on wedding rings in the movies

And I'm not proud of my address

In a torn-up town, no postcode envy

But every song's like gold teeth, Grey Goose, trippin' in the bathroom

Bloodstains, ball gowns, trashin' the hotel room

We don't care, we're driving Cadillacs in our dreams

But everybody's like Cristal, Maybach, diamonds on your timepiece

Jet planes, islands, tigers on a gold leash

We don't care, we aren't caught up in your love affair

And we'll never be royals (royals)

It don't run in our blood

That kind of luxe just ain't for us

We crave a different kind of buzz

Let me be your ruler (ruler)

You can call me Queen Bee

And baby I'll rule, I'll rule, I'll rule, I'll rule

Let me live that fantasy

My friends and I, we've cracked the code

We count our dollars on the train to the party

And everyone who knows us knows that we're fine with this

We didn't come from money

But every song's like gold teeth, Grey Goose, trippin' in the bathroom

Bloodstains, ball gowns, trashin' the hotel room

We don't care, we're driving Cadillacs in our dreams

But everybody's like Cristal, Maybach, diamonds on your timepiece

Jet planes, islands, tigers on a gold leash

We don't care, we aren't caught up in your love affair

And we'll never be royals (royals)

It don't run in our blood

That kind of luxe just ain't for us

We crave a different kind of buzz

Let me be your ruler (ruler)

You can call me Queen Bee

And baby I'll rule, I'll rule, I'll rule, I'll rule

Let me live that fantasy

Ooh ooh oh

We're bigger than we ever dreamed

And I'm in love with being queen

Ooh ooh oh

Life is great without a care

We aren't caught up in your love affair

And we'll never be royals (royals)

It don't run in our blood

That kind of luxe just ain't for us

We crave a different kind of buzz

Let me be your ruler (ruler)

You can call me Queen Bee

And baby I'll rule, I'll rule, I'll rule, I'll rule

Let me live that fantasy

Million Dollar Bills lyrics - Lorde

There's nothing I want

But money and time

Million dollar bills

And the tick-tick-tick-tick

There's nothing more cruel

Than only nine lives

Unlimited spines

Would do the trick-trick-trick-trick

We could leave the house, leave the party, let the people know

Go drown the colours of our minds and watch the cars go

There's nothing as fun

As coming untied

And running with the kids

In the park-park-park-park

There's nothing that's hurt

Like letting you go

It's like a bird

Eyes

In the dark-dark-dark-dark

We could leave the house, lead the party, let the people know

Go drown the colours of our minds and watch the cars go

It's not about just bein' out with the right people

'Cause we can get in trouble just by going free-flow

And now I'm letting you know

The Love Club lyrics - Lorde

I'm in a clique but I want out

It's not the same as when I was punched

In the old days, there was enough

The card games and knees with the bitter salt of blood

I was in, but I want out

My mother's love is choking me

I'm sick of words that hang above my head

"What about the kid?" It's time the kid got free

Be a part of the love club

Everything will glow for you

Go get punched for the love club

For the love club

I joined the club and it's all on

There are fights for being my best friend

And the girls get their claws out

There's something about hanging out with the wicked kids

Take the pill, make it too real

The other day I forgot my old address

I'm sitting pretty on the throne

There's nothing more I want

Except to be alone

Be a part of the love club

Everything will glow for you

Go get punched for the love club

For the love club

(For the love club)

Your clothes are soaked and you don't know where to go

So drop your chin and take yourself back home

And roll out your maps and papers

Find out your hiding places again

The only problem that I got with the club

Is how you're severed from the people

Who watched you grow up

When you're a member

Go on your great adventure again

And we'll be waiting at the end

Be a part of the love club

Everything will glow for you

Go get punched for the love club

For the love club

(For the love club)

Biting Down lyrics - Lorde

It feels better biting down

Skip a hit, don't make a sound

(It feels better biting down)

Breathed so deep I thought I'd drown

(It feels better biting down)

Listen to the beats resound

(It feels better biting down)

It feels better biting down

(It feels better biting down)

It feels better biting down

Skip a hit, don't make a sound

(It feels better biting down)

Breathed so deep I thought I'd drown

(It feels better biting down)

Listen to the beats resound

It feels better biting down

The electronics of your heart

See how fast they fall apart

(It feels better biting down)

The electronics of your heart

See how fast they fall apart

(It feels better biting down)

It feels better biting down

Skip a hit, don't make a sound

(It feels better biting down)

Break The Ice lyrics - Lorde

(originally by Britney Spears)

[Britney Spears:]

But I'm here now

[Lorde:]

I know it's been a while, but I'm glad you came

And I was thinking 'bout how you say my name

You got my body spinning, like a hurricane

It feels like I'm going insane

So, let me get it up

Ooh, looks like we're alone now

You ain't gotta be scared, we're grown now

I'ma hit defrost on ya, let's get it blazin'

We can turn the heat up if ya wanna

Turn the lights down low if ya wanna

Just wanna move ya, but you froze up

Let me break the ice

Allow me to get you right

That ya warm up to me

Baby, I can make you feel

Let me break the ice

Allow me to get you right

That ya warm up to me

Baby, I can make you feel hot, hot, hot, hot

Easy lyrics - Lorde (with Son Lux)

Easy, easy

Pull out your heart to make the

Being alone

Easy, easy

Pull out your heart to make the

Being alone

Easy, easy

You switch the screens over the

Rest of your flows

Easy, easy

They poke around until they

Get what they want

Easy, easy

Oh, easy, easy

Throw out the lunch you paid for

Thought it would suck, but now it's

Easy, oh, easy

Throw out the lunch you paid for

Oh, easy, easy

Easy, easy

Pull out the heart that keeps you

Feeling alone

Easy, easy

Pull out your heart to make the

Being alone

Easy

Everybody Wants To Rule The World lyrics - Lorde

(from "The Hunger Games: Catching Fire" soundtrack)

Welcome to your life

There's no turning back

Even while we sleep

We will find you

Acting on your best behavior

Turn your back on Mother Nature

Everybody wants to rule the world

It's my own desire

It's my own remorse

Help me to decide

Help me make the most of freedom

And of pleasure

Nothing ever lasts forever

Everybody wants to rule the world

There's a room where the light won't find you

Holding hands while the walls come tumbling down

When they do, I'll be right behind you

So glad we've almost made it

So sad we had to fade it

Everybody wants to rule the world

Flicker (Kanye West Rework) lyrics - Lorde

(from "The Hunger Games: Mockingjay, Part 1" soundtrack)

I'm a princess cut from marble, smoother than a storm

And the scars that mark my body, they're silver and gold

My blood is a flood of rubies, precious stones

It keeps my veins hot, the fires find a home in me

I move through town, I'm quiet like a fight

And my necklace is of rope, I tie it and untie it

And now people talk to me, but nothing ever hits home

People talk to me, and all the voices just burn holes

I'm done with it (ooh)

This is the start of how it all ends

They used to shout my name, now they whisper it

I'm speeding up and this is the

Red, orange, yellow flicker beat sparking up my heart

We're at the start, the colors disappear

I never watch the stars, there's so much down here

So I just try to keep up with them

Red, orange, yellow flicker beat sparking up my heart

I dream all year, but they're not the sweet kinds

And the shivers move down my shoulder blades in double time

And now people talk to me I'm slipping out of reach now

People talk to me, and all their faces blur

But I got my fingers laced together and I made a little prison

And I'm locking up everyone who ever laid a finger on me

I'm done with it (ooh)

This is the start of how it all ends

They used to shout my name, now they whisper it

I'm speeding up and this is the

Red, orange, yellow flicker beat sparking up my heart

We're at the start, the colors disappear

I never watch the stars, there's so much down here

So I just try to keep up with them

Red, orange, yellow flicker beat sparking up my heart

And this is the red, orange, yellow flicker beat

Sparking up my heart

And this is the red, orange, yellow flicker beat-beat-beat-beat

Good Fights lyrics - Lorde

Face the world, tell your friends

You don't really love them

But you really love when

Braid your hair and give in

We could try to get in to the place where it ends

Where everything ends, it spins again

Oh, I didn't come all this way just to blow the night

Oh, you can feel sorry for people that are in your mind

Oh, and if it feels close, even when you don't feel alright

(It's alright, it's alright)

Everyone stay up like a good fight

There's a place in your head for what doesn't make sense

For the things you don't get

Look them up when you get in

We could try to get in, get rejected again

Laugh it off again, I guess oh well

Oh, I didn't come all this way just to blow the night

Oh, you can feel sorry for people are in your mind

Oh, and if it feels close, even when you don't feel alright

(It's alright, it's alright)

Everyone stay up like a good fight

Incurred on to bright green eyes

You used to love to spend up time

Driving like a coil in the little lights out

Money, we solve our safe

She'll toss her head and play again

Examine every face and realize

Oh, it's good to feel again

Oh, I didn't come all this way just to blow the night

Oh, you can feel sorry for people are in your mind

Oh, and if it feels close, even when you don't feel alright

(It's alright, it's alright)

Everyone stay up like a good fight

Homemade Dynamite (Remix) lyrics - Lorde (feat. SZA, Post Malone & Khalid)

[Lorde:]

A couple rebel Top Gun pilots

Flyin' with nowhere to be, ooh-ooh

Don't know you super well

But I think that you might be the same as me

Behave abnormally

Let's let things come out of the woodwork

I'll give you my best side, tell you all my best lies

Yeah, awesome, right?

So let's let things come out of the woodwork

I'll give you my best side, tell you all my best lies

See me rollin', showin' someone else love

Dancin' with our shoes off

Know I think you're awesome, right?

[Lorde (SZA):]

Our rules, our dreams, we're blind

Blowin' shit up with homemade d-d-d-dynamite

Our friends, our drinks, we get inspired

(Blowin' shit up with homemade d-d-d-dynamite)

[Khalid:]

I wanna feel the light

Pushing our limits, unbuckled for the ride, mm

We're way too far from home

Let's be honest with ourselves

We're way too high to drive

So let's take on the night (Mmm)

If the light is in the air, open, finally

We're going and we're free

[Khalid & Lorde:]

Our rules, our dreams, we're blind

Blowin' shit up with homemade d-d-d-dynamite

Our friends, our drinks, we get inspired

Blowin' shit up with homemade d-d-d-dynamite

[SZA:]

I checked your girl at the door

I sent your friend to the store

It's only me and you, finally us two

And I don't regret drinkin' this liquor

Makin' you listen

Yeah, I know you don't know me well

My girl's at the door and I left my pretense at home

And it ain't no goin' back (Goin' back)

[SZA & Lorde:]

Our rules, our dreams, we're blind

Blowin' shit up with homemade d-d-d-dynamite

Our friends, our drinks, we get inspired

Blowin' shit up with homemade d-d-d-dynamite

[Post Malone:]

Walk, never fall, but we still run

So pour up, pour up another one

I know, I know we on to somethin'

We got, we got a loaded gun, yeah

Go and shoot me that look in your eyes

And you're here, I'm yours, you're mine

Find each other when we're losin' our minds

Then we take it all off

You're a runaway train, yeah

And you got me so faded

And I don't wanna chase it, no

You know I think you're awesome, right?

[All (Post Malone):]

Our rules, our dreams, we're blind

Blowin' shit up with homemade d-d-d-dynamite

Our friends, our drinks, we get inspired

Blowin' shit up with homemade d-d-d-dynamite (Yeah, yeah)

Blowin' shit up with homemade d-d-d-dynamite

(Blowin' shit up)

[Lorde:]

Now you know it's really gonna blow

Ladder Song lyrics - Lorde

(from "The Hunger Games: Mockingjay - Part 1" soundtrack)

No one knows where the ladder goes

You're gonna lose what you love the most

You're not alone in anything

You're not unique in dying

I feel estranged every now and then

Fall asleep reading science fiction

I wanna fly in your silver ship

Let my mama hang and my sister sit

It's on now

The days are long now

The ups and the sundowns

And a twisting mind

If I gotta go first

I'll do it on my terms

I'm tired of traitors

Always changing sides

They were friends of mine

Don't hang around once the promise breaks

Or you'll be there when the next one's made

Kiss the feet of a charlatan

Some imagine freedom

All the rest is predictable

Trying your hardest to melt the snow

Tie the knots to concentrate

Keep on pulling, that rope will break

We'll welcome the new age

Covered in warrior paint

Lights from the jungle to the sky

See now, a star bursts

Looks just like a blood orange

Don't it just make you wanna cry

Precious friend of mine?

Will I know when it's finally done?

This whole life's a hallucination

You're not alone in anything

You're not alone in trying to be

Mama Do lyrics - Lorde

(originally by Pixie Lott)

Every night I go

Sneaking out the door

I lie a little more

Baby I'm helpless

There's something about the night

And the way it hides all the things I like

Little black butterflies

Deep inside me

What would my mama do

She knew about me and you?

What would my daddy say

She saw me hurt this way?

Why should I feel ashamed?

Feeling guilty at the mention of your name

Yeah, here we are again

It's nearly perfect

What would my mama do

She knew about me and you?

What would my daddy say

He saw me hurt this way?

Me And Julio Down By The Schoolyard lyrics - Lorde

(originally by Paul Simon)

Mama pajama rolled outta bed

And she ran to the police station

When the papa found out, he began to shout

He started the investigation

It was against the law, it was against the law

What my mama saw, it was against the law

And the mama looked down and she spit on the ground

Every time my name gets mentioned

And the papa said "Oh, if I get that boy

I'm gonna stick him in the house of detention"

Well I'm on my way, I don't know where I'm going

And I'm on my way, it's taking to town but I don't know where

Goodbye to Rosie, queen of Corona

Seeing me and Julio down by the schoolyard

In a couple of days they're gonna take me away

When the press let the story leak

I have no reason, I have no reason

And we was all on the cover of Newsweek

Well I'm on my way, I don't know where I'm going

I'm on my way, I'll take to town but I don't know where

Goodbye to Rosie, queen of Corona

Seeing me and Julio down by the schoolyard

Me and Julio down by the schoolyard

Seeing me and Julio down by the schoolyard

Oh, me and Ella in Golden Gate Park

No Better lyrics - Lorde

We roll in heavy summer when there's strength in our numbers

And your breath's hot and gross but I kiss you like a lover

Legs stick to the seats of the car someone grew into

I forget the knowledge from the lessons that I went to

And Jamie picks fights but they're weak and short-lived

Because no one can be bothered when it's humid like this

And we roll in heavy summer like it's shameful to be underneath a ceiling or a roof try come out and steal our thunder

Now the days are getting cooler

And the burning of our limbs doesn't happen quite as bad and the burn is just

Skin-deep in the fantasies and dreams of the winter like the movies

That we watched to pretend it wasn't winter

And everywhere we go I can feel a subtle taste of the deeds outgrown and the welcome overstayed

And you're no better at swimming than you were in the beginning but you come over at night and we practice all the breathing

Go all the way

Have your fun, have it all

This will take you down

Get through the days

Do your thing, do it well

This will take you down

Go all the way

Have your fun, have it all

This will take you down

Get through the days

Do your thing, do it well

This will take you down

I'll pull the trick if I want to

I'll pull the trick and it comes true

I'm chewing gum and it's killing you

We're getting dead and it's the right way to do it

I see you happy in the front seat

I see you with all of your front teeth

You're allergic but you never said

We're getting dead and it's the right way

Go all the way

Have your fun, have it all

This will take you down

Get through the days

Do your thing, do it well

This will take you down

Go all the way

Have your fun, have it all

This will take you down

Get through the days

Do your thing, do it well

This will take you down

Precious Metals lyrics - Lorde

(live version)

The Chanel, the Dior and the Prada

Take it home, make a fire in the garden

Sundance kids, so godless

One day it's gonna be not like this

Black sand on all our beaches

Witchcraft, split lip and a bee sting

But what I really wanna know is

Do I look like a fool?

'Cause I must be a fool

To hold on to precious metals like I do, I do, I do

The Chanel, the Dior, and the Prada

Give my best to the ones that are bothered

Take a flight trip to Jakarta

All the kids at the shows make it louder

All of the feelings and all of the tears are going

All of the secrets and all of the schemes that don't go my way

I wish you would come back, didn't want to run back

Come back, bet you want to come back

And I'll find you

Do I look like a fool?

'Cause I must be a fool

To hold on to precious metals like I do (ah), do (ah), do (ah)

Ah, ah, ah...

Supercut (El-P Remix) lyrics - Lorde (feat. Run The Jewels)

[Lorde:]

In my

Supercut of us

Supercut

Supercut of, supercut of, supercut of us

In my head

I play a supercut of us

All the magic we gave off

All the love we had and lost

And in my head

The visions never stop

These ribbons wrap me up

But when I reach for you

There's just a supercut

Supercut, supercut of us

In your car, the radio up

In your car, the supercut of us

We keep tryna talk about us

Slow motion, I'm watchin' our love

In your car, the supercut of, supercut of

[Killer Mike:]

We is the villains, and there ain't no chillin'

Get body bags and the toe tags, yeah

Scoundrels in housin', we tore through your town

And we reload it and now we back, man

Forgiato rollin' on a '96 Impala

With a pretty thing, show me where I'm slayin'

I ain't playin' with you lames, 700 horse in the Hellcat

Take ya bitch, where ya at?

[El-P:]

Dirty, all-black Jeep, 2018

With the clean rhyme rappers on deck, check

Came with the bad bars, bully with the big box

Shush when the runners on set

G-G-Give it up, you don't got a bit of luck left

Nah, not even a itty bit of fresh (Good lord)

Fall on your sword for the crime abhorrent

That's your reward for the mindless whorin'

[Killer Mike:]

This for everybody that hated

Michael and Jamie, we made it

Every debt due, we paid it

My cadence is heinous

You keep tryna play us, and you gon' be famous

And just like the top on my 7-5 drop

I'm just hittin' a button and you gon' be brainless

And that's from the back of a 'lac where I'm smokin' the sack

With my girl, watchin' seasons of Shameless

[El-P:]

There's no manual, Run The Jewels publish shit annual

Every minute I'm in it, I'm runnin' a clinic

Wild animal, livin' like a Fine Young Cannibal

Citizen of cynics, admit it, the kid get it

Earth's a hot block, the pot get chop-chopped

You walk and watch blocks my heart should pop off

The hot rocks shooters will knock your whole op off

That's why I don't got tocks on the clock to rock soft

[Lorde:]

So I fall

Into continents and cars

All the stages and the stars

I turn all of it

To just a su–

Supercut, supercut of us

Supercut, supercut of, supercut of, super, super

Swingin' Party lyrics - Lorde

Bring your own lampshade, somewhere there's a party

Here it's never ending, can't remember when it started

Pass around the lampshade, there'll be plenty enough room in jail

If being wrong's a crime, I'm serving forever

If being strong's your kind, then I need help here with this feather

If being afraid is a crime, we hang side by side

At the swingin' party down the line

Pound the prairie pavement, losing proposition

Quitting school and going to work and never going fishing

Water all around, I never learned how to swim now

If being wrong's a crime, I'm serving forever

If being strong's your kind, then I need help here with this feather

If being afraid is a crime, we hang side by side

At the swingin' party down the line

Bring your own lampshade, somewhere there's a party

Here it's never ending, can't remember when it started

Pass around the lampshade, there'll be plenty enough room in jail

If being wrong's a crime, I'm serving forever

If being strong is what you want, then I need help here with this feather

If being afraid is a crime, we hang side by side

At the swingin' party down the line

Use Somebody lyrics - Lorde

(originally by Kings Of Leon)

I've been roaming around

Always looking down at all I see

Painted faces fill the places I can't reach

You know that I could use somebody

Someone like you and all you know and how you speak

Countless lovers under cover of the street

I hope it's gonna make you notice, yeah

Someone like me

Off in the night, while you live it up, I'm off to sleep

Waging wars to shake the poet and the beat

I hope it's gonna make you notice, yeah

Someone like me

I've been roaming around

Always looking down at all I see

Yellow Flicker Beat lyrics - Lorde

[from "The Hunger Games: Mockingjay - Part 1" soundtrack]

I’m a princess cut from marble, smoother than a storm.
And the scars that mark my body, they’re silver and gold,
My blood is a flood of rubies, precious stones,
It keeps my veins hot, the fire's found a home in me.
I move through town, I’m quiet like a fight,
And my necklace is of rope, I tie it and untie.

And now people talk to me, but nothing ever hits home
People talk to me, and all the voices just burn holes.
I’m done with it (ooh)

[Chorus:]
This is the start of how it all ends
They used to shout my name, now they whisper it
I’m speeding up and this is the red, orange, yellow flicker beat sparking up my heart
We're at the start, the colours disappear
I never watch the stars, there’s so much down here
So I just try to keep up with the red, orange, yellow flicker beat sparking up my heart

I dream all year, but they’re not the sweet kinds
And the shivers move down my shoulder blades in double time

And now people talk to me, I’m slipping out of reach now
People talk to me, and all their faces blur
But I got my fingers laced together and I made a little prison
And I’m locking up everyone who ever laid a finger on me
I’m done with it (ooh)

[Chorus]

And this is the red, orange, yellow flicker beat sparking up my heart
And this is the red, orange, yellow flicker beat-beat-beat-beat
