The Shins — Australia

[Intro] "Time to put the ear covers on!" "No!" La-la-la-la! La-la-la-la! La-la-la-la! [Verse 1] (Born to) Born to multiply Born to gaze into night skies All you want's one more Saturday Well, look here until then They gonna buy your life's time So keep your wick in the air and your feet in the fetters Till the day [Pre-Chorus 1] We come in doing cartwheels We all crawl out by ourselves And your shape on a dance floor Will have me thinking such filth to gouge my eyes [Chorus 1] You'll be damned to be one of us girl Faced with the dodo's conundrum I felt like I could just fly But nothing happened every time I try, ooh-ooh! [Verse 2] A duotone on the wall Selfless fool who hoped he'd save us all Never dreamt of such sterile hands You keep 'em folded in your lap Or raise them up to beg for scraps You know he's holding you down with the tips of his fingers Just the same [Pre-Chorus 2] Will you be pulled from the ocean A-just a minute too late? Or changed by a potion To find a handsome young mate for you to love? [Chorus 2] You'll be damned to pining through the windowpanes You know you'd trade your life for any ordinary Joe Well, do it now or grow old Your nightmares only need a year or two to unfold [Guitar solo] [Bridge] Been alone since you were twenty-one You haven't laughed since January You try and make like this is so much fun But we know it to be quite contrary La-la-la-la [Chorus 3] Dare to be one of us, girl Facing the android's conundrum I felt like I should just cry But nothing happens every time I take one on the chin You Himmler in your coat, you don't know how long I've been Watching the lantern dim Starved of oxygen So give me your hand and let's jump out the window La, la, la, la, la! La, la, la, la, la! La-la, la, la, la!
