Dragonette Album

Oh no
Who's got you all dressed up in those clothes?
Said I don't know
But you're gonna need some help out of those

Oh you're alright, you're alright, you're alright
But you smell like your mama and smoke
So tell her, tell her
You tell her I said hello

Oh we could do it any way you want
We only like you 'cause you're cute and young
You gotta work what daddy gave you, son
Go on and show me that you know how to use it
And do your duty

And get on the floor
Don't make a fuss, just do it
Look out I'm fixin' to thrill
We know you're one of us
What's all the fuss, just do it
Uh-huh I'm fixin' to thrill

Yeah the girls
The girls they're looking round for trouble of sorts
And the boys, they offer diamonds but
They're giving them quartz

That's alright, it's alright, it's alright
We'll get you something that you can't get at home
And your mama, your mama
She don't know what she don't know

So we could do it any way you want
We only like you 'cause you're cute and young
You gotta work what daddy gave you, son
Come on and show me that you know how to use it
And do your duty

And get on the floor
Don't make a fuss, just do it
Uh-huh I'm fixin' to thrill
We know you're one of us
What's all the fuss, just do it
Look out I'm fixin' to thrill

Just do it, I'm fixin to thrill
Just do it, I'm fixin to thrill

And get on the floor
Don't make a fuss, just do it
Look out I'm fixing to thrill
We know you're one of us
What's all the fuss, just do it
Look out I'm fixin'
I'm fixin' to thrill

And get on the floor
Don't make a fuss, just do it
Look out I'm fixing to thrill
We know you're one of us
What's all the fuss, just do it
Look out I'm fixin' to thrill
I'm fixin' to thrill

My friends sure like it when I'm all shook up for you
They think you're a perfect 10, indeed I think so too
So get your stuff, button up, get your butt down on below
Ding dong sound the alarms, it's me I'm coming over
Don't you hear them serenade us
Don't be late for our parade, come on

Enough of that rotten thought don't you know I'd never hurt ya
The next stop is the candy shop, I'll serve you a pound of sugar
Wrap it up in cellophane
Just don't be late for our parade, come on
They're passing by in a cavalcade
They're on the way to our parade, come on
Come on now

I only thought it could be fun for the night
I think you'll want it for the rest of your life
I learn my lesson and I stay after school
I teach the lovers to fight but I
I must have gone too far

Pick it up!

Our kids will be different kids than the other kids we know
They're playing with sticks and twigs, we got 5 or 6 or more
But right now I got other plans, important plans and you're part of them
We're never going back again so get outside, look at the sky
There's not any sign of rain
No rain today on our parade, come on
Listen up now, don't you hear them serenade us
Don't be late for our parade, come on
Come on now

I only thought it could be fun for the night
I think you'll want it for the rest of your life
I learn my lesson and I stay after school
I teach the lovers to fight but I
I must have gone too far

I must have gone too far but now I'm making up for that
Uh huh I'm taking charge, I'm getting started please step back
It's cause I got on my best dress I guess I made you look
I must have got you hooked
I must, I must have gone too far

Hurry up now
Get your stuff, button up, get your butt down on below
Ding dong sound the alarms, it's me I'm coming over

I only thought it could be fun for the night
I think you'll want it for the rest of your life
I learn my lesson and I stay after school
I teach the lovers to fight but I
I must have gone too far

It could be fun for the night
I think you'll want it for the rest of your life
I learn my lesson and I stay after school
I teach the lovers to fight but I
I must have gone too far

Don't stand too close to me
If you're left alone with me, uh oh
And leave that door open
Get someone to keep us company

‘Cause I've been making up a list of things I'd do to you
As we both dance on either side of the room
But it's too late I'd never say it, anyway I'm taken
And we're both leaving with whom we came

Somewhere you're sleeping it off, but I'm wide awake
Chasing a runaway thought
So come on, say it

You can feel it too, don't hide you liar
Some kind of thunder inside
Don't speak, don't breath, don't touch the fire
It's gonna burn us alive

I know you can feel it too, I saw you liar
Setting off dynamite
One look, one touch, we won't survive it
It's gonna burn us alive

Did I come to close to this
I rubbed myself against it, oh no
I can't touch it but I feel it
Can't use it but I need it, oh

Oh no, you don't fool me but I can keep a secret
I can read it like you wrote it all down
I'm not looking for your love, but we would do it well
And that's the bit I can't stop thinking about

Somewhere you're sleeping it off , but I'm wide awake
Chasing a runaway thought
Just try proving me wrong, but I'll find a way
To make you confess to it all

I know you can feel it too, don't hide you liar
Some kind of thunder inside
Don't speak, don't breath, don't touch the fire
It's gonna burn us alive

I know you can feel it too, I saw you liar
Setting off dynamite
One look, one touch, we won't survive it
It's gonna burn us alive

I want to wrestle with a savage creature
That kind of wild thing could jump up and eat you
Some covet ‘cause it's human nature
But I'm coming to the call of danger
Some love has got a built-in heater
Some heat has got to catch on fire
Put it out while you still can
You know you play with fire
You're gonna get burned

I know you can feel it too, don't hide you liar
Some kind of thunder inside
Don't speak, don't breath, don't touch the fire
It's gonna burn us alive

I know you can feel it too, don't hide you liar
Some kind of thunder inside
Don't speak, don't breath, don't touch the fire
It's gonna burn us alive

I know you can feel it too, I saw you liar
Setting off dynamite
One look, one touch, we won't survive it
It's gonna burn us alive

You're gonna get it this time
You'll regret it this time
I'm gonna strike at the right time later
Now I've got the muscle
I've got time to tussle
I've got the time to teach a lesson,
You've been messin'

I've got something for you
Something special for you
No huggin' and kisses
This is business now

I'm all better just thinking about
When you come home I'm gonna lock you out
And you show up with that stupid grin
And I just let your love in

There won't be any warning
First thing in the morning
I'm gonna tell you see you later alligator
Instead of all my loving, you won't be getting nothing
That's tough, wake up and smell the muffin

You're looking out at a future that might never exist
I'm thinking of all the ways of getting over it
Well maybe I should be swimming from the sinking ship
‘Cause I've been screaming and shouting
And so down about it till now

I'm all better just thinking about
When you wake up, I'm gonna punch you out
And you roll over with that stupid grin
And I just let your love in

I can't get away because I did it again
I'm not sticking with it ‘cause of thick and thin
But all because of that stupid grin
I just let your love in

No I can't say no, no no no no
No no she can't say no no no no no
I just let your love in
No no she can't say no no no no no
I just let your love in
No no she can't say no no no no no

And I'm just
Looking out at a future that might never exist
I'm thinking of all the ways of getting over it
Well maybe I should be swimming from a sinking ship
‘Cause I've been screaming and shouting
And so down about it till now

I'm all better just thinking about
When you come home I'm gonna kick you out
And you show up with that stupid grin
And I just let your love in

I can't get away because I did it again
I'm not sticking with it cause of thick and thin
But all because of that stupid grin
I just let your love in

No I can't say no, no no no no
I just let your love in
No, no, I can't say no, uh oh uh oh
I just let your love in
No, no I can't say no, uh oh uh oh
I just let your love in
No I can't say no, uh oh uh oh
I Just let your love in

You love me like a bull in a china shop
Why do I stay if one day you'll break my heart
Ooh its easy, hard as it looks

Ask me how I never get with other guys
Other guys with nicer rides and better style
Ooh easy, hard as it looks

I could be a-doin' all of this on my own
And thinkin' for myself, I'd be the only one
It's easy, hard as it looks

Why'm I waiting up for you late at night
Comin' in from someplace when it's almost light
'Cause its easy, hard as it looks

And I'mma stick it out until it's time to go
Am I getting sick of this? Oh no no
No it's never hard as it looks

Yeah I could be a-doin' all of this on my own
Thinkin' for myself, I'd be the only one
And its easy, hard as it looks.

Yeah I could find someone who'd never make me blue
'Cause nobody could ever tear me up like you
And its easy, hard as it looks

But you could break it
If you let time wear away it
So dont mistake it
For something that you're free to play with

Cause you could break it
If you let time wear away it
So dont mistake it
For something that you're free to play with

I could be a-doin all of this on my own
Thinkin' for myself, I'd be the only one
Yeah I could find someone who'd never make me blue
'Cause nobody could ever tear me up like you

Yeah I could be a-doin all of this on my own
Thinkin' for myself, I'd be the only one
And I could find someone who'd never make me blue
'Cause nobody could ever tear me up like you

And its easy, hard as it looks
And its easy, hard as it looks

Come on Cherry Cherry you're still very young
And we've only just started having fun
I'm picking fruit and I choose you, you're so cool
No need to save yourself for someone else to come

So we went completely wild
Kicked over a city street light
Saint Thomas was vandalized
And I'm sorry but I'm not surprised

Pick up the phone, pick up the phone
Congratulations, I'm having visions of us
Breaking everything on our way out of town
We're going places you never dreamed of

Oh Cherry Cherry I'll read your fortune
It says here you're too serious and such
But I learned one thing Cherry you should understand
That nothing really matters very much

So we went completely wild
We were married in the Vegas style
And our families were scandalized
And I'm sorry but I'm not surprised

Pick up the phone, pick up the phone
Congratulations, I'm having visions of us
Breaking everything on our way out of town
We're going places you never dreamed of

Yeah we started the fire, it's out of control
Painted the town til it was up in smoke
So tie a ribbon round it, let the fighters drown it
And we'll go down in the books
Yeah we started the fire and it's burning up
Everywhere around us, take a photograph
If they ever found us, they'd have us surrounded
So pick up
You know you gotta pick it up
Cherry pick it up
Pick it up

Pick up the phone, pick up the phone
Congratulations, I'm having visions of us
Breaking everything on our way out of town
We're going places you never dreamed of

You wanna move it
Shake like in the movies
Gotta use it
Huff that kind of stuff that makes you stupid
Call in the professionals to get it right
And if they hate us
Maybe hair and make up
Gonna save us
Blow it out and catch us looking famous
Then show you how to keep it up all night

We're not the ones with the big guns
Some kind of shiny secret weapons
But let's pretend that we rule the world
We've got the superhero costumes
Know how to change our clothes in a phone booth
So let's pretend that we, we rule the world

We got the know-how
Kick up the kind of stink you're hearing about
Give us a kiss and then we punch your lights out
I'll eat a fist, I'm hungry for a fight
It takes an army, looking good and booking it
We're ready
A little muscle, little cuddle, little lady
Listen don't be chicken, pick a side

We're not the ones with the big guns
Some kind of shiny secret weapons
But let's pretend that we rule the world
We've got the superhero costumes
Know how to change our clothes in a phone booth
So let's pretend that we, we rule the world

There's more than muscle that a fighter is made of
There's got to be some cha cha ching and g-g-glitter
We're gonna see some ba-da boom before we finish
We get knocked down, we get back up in a minute

There's more than muscle that a fighter is made of
There's got to be some cha cha ching and g-g-glitter
We're gonna see some ba-da boom before we finish
We get knocked down, we get back up in a minute
We've got that fast action edit

No we're not the ones with the big guns
Some kind of shiny secret weapons
But let's pretend that we rule the world
We've got the superhero costumes
Know how to change our clothes in a phone booth
So let's pretend that we, we rule the world

I never got that particular feeling
I'm doing better now than how I've been
Then again I never really ever get anything right

I‘ve got a scab that I can't stop picking
Things that I though I'd forgotten
Things that I thought got better over night
So what's shaking, a complication

I though by now I'd be 5'11”
I'd be hanging out with the top banana
Executive access to upper classes
Run and get me some of them big sunglasses

Better gather up what I left for dead
All the pieces needed in a level head
All the information that I've taken down all on my own

So if you think you saw me getting by
I was only lost in another life
And now I'm racing back to where I came from, I got nothing to show
What's shaking, a complication

I though by now I'd be 5'11”
I'd be hanging out with the top banana
Executive access to upper classes
Run and get me some of them big sunglasses

I though by now
I'd be 5'11”
I'd be hanging out
with the top banana
Executive access to upper classes
Run and get me some of them big sunglasses

I've got a little left, I've got a little left in me
I'm not finished yet, I've got a little left in me

I've got a scab that I can't stop picking
Things that I thought I'd forgotten
And now I'm racing back to where I came from, I got nothing to show
What shaking, a complication

I though by now I'd be 5'11”
I'd be hanging out with the top banana
Executive access to upper classes
Run and get me some of them big sunglasses

I though by now
I'd be 5'11”
I'd be hanging out
with the top banana
Executive access to upper classes
Run and get me some of them big sunglasses

Set it up and tear it down, a sucker says what
It keeps me up all night and it just don't pay enough
Okay Dolore
Okay Dolore

I feel that fever running up again a hundred and twelve
Stop me if you think that I'm repeating myself
Okay Dolore
O Okay Dolore

I better keep my two legs running, stick my head out, get my hands in it
Oh oh oh oh oh
Is it a condition, I'm an ordinary citizen
Oh oh oh oh oh
Okay okay Dolore

So go ahead Chiquita, why not show ‘em your stuff
But how come you want to make off with my hard earned love
Okay Dolore
O Okay Dolore

That's why my heart is skipping triplets, this is serious
So pack up mammasita while I sweep up the mess
Okay Dolore
O Okay Dolore

You better keep your two legs running, stick your head out, get your hands in it
Oh oh oh oh oh oh
Is it a condition, you're an ordinary citizen
Oh oh oh oh oh
Okay okay Dolore

Okay okay
Why do you pick me right back up and throw me back in the ditch again
My heart is skipping triplets and I'm felling feverish
Okay Dolore why can't we just call it a truce with this
And I could wrap my arms around you a bit
I keep my two legs running, stick my head out, get my hands in it
Oh oh oh oh oh
Is it a condition, I'm an ordinary citizen
Oh oh oh oh oh
Okay okay Dolore

Enough with the trouble making
Is that what you were saying
But the words stuck in your throat
Come on, be good

To satisfy the curiosity,
You take a bite out of all of the candies
But you found that it won't go down when it should
I know it looks good

But do you want to dance together
Or have you had a change of heart
You could run around forever
But I got what it is you want

I'm making the taste
You're chasing a flavor
You're gonna be saved
I could be your savior
So say your prayers

Now that it's getting brighter
You think you might need something stonger
Or turn the lights on full and go, go home and be good
A dash of something unfamiliar
Could make the mixture that much better
It doesn't taste as it looks it should
So step back, you don't like, it's no good

But do you want to dance together
Or have you had a change of heart
You could run around forever
When I got what it is you want

I'm making the taste
You're chasing a flavor
You're gonna be saved
I could be your savior
So say your prayers

Say your prayers
Say your prayers
…
Come on, be good
Say your prayers
Come on, be good

So do you want to dance together
Or have you had a change of heart
You could run around forever
When I got what it is you want

I'm making the taste
You're chasing a flavor
You're gonna be saved
I could be your savior
So say your prayers

I'm making the taste
You're chasing a flavor
You're gonna be saved
I could be your savior
So say your prayers
So say your prayers

You're a disaster
Does anything matter to you
Do you ever slow down
Touch your feet to the ground underneath
Faster and faster
Straight for disaster

You're a disaster
And it makes all the laughter look sad
So pull up your socks
Or crash into the rocks you're headed for
What are you after, if not disaster

Oh if your mind, oh if your mind
Needs so much alteration
You'd better find, you'd better find
Another medication
The one that you're usin' is bruisin' you
If you're fine, oh if you're fine
And I am just mistaken
You'll walk the line, you'll walk the line
You'll walk right off the deep end
And run into somethin' to ruin you

Yeah, the outlook is grim
And the shape that you're in is diminishing
How long can you last for, before disaster

Oh if your mind, oh if your mind
Needs so much alteration
You'd better find, you'd better find
Another medication
And if you're fine, oh if you fine
And I am just mistaken
You'll walk the line, you'll walk the line
You'll walk right off the deep end
And run into somethin' to ruin you

Oh if your mind, oh if your mind
Needs so much alteration
You'd better find, you'd better find
Another medication
And if you're fine, and if you're fine
And I am just mistaken
You'll walk the line, you'll walk the line
You'll walk right off the deep end
And run into somethin' to ruin you

Somethin' to ruin you
Somethin' to ruin you

It's typical, another game of push and pull
There's nothing wrong, but there is something going on
You float away, a little further everyday
I'm looking at the stars and you're looking out at empty space

Sometimes, sometimes it comes in the dark
Swimming inside your head, sinking into your heart
I'm looking for another sign, you'll shake it off your mind
Where you been all this time, you kiss different

Hey now, don't be funny
Ha ha, you're acting funny
Come back, where are you gone
This girl thinks you've been somewhere else too long
Where's Mr. Sunny
Hands up, give me the money
And I'm not laughing but this funny stuff is just hilarious

Just stop the clock, and look around at what you've got
Everyone comes a little undone, but it's better than you thought
Time, times gone ticking by, pinch me I'm still alive , give me just a little smile
Give me a sign, you'll shake it off of your mind
Where you been all this time, baby you've been so different

Hey now, don't be funny
Ha ha, you're acting funny
Come back, where are you gone
This girl thinks you've been somewhere else too long
Where's Mr. Sunny
Hands up, give me the money
And I'm not laughing but this funny stuff is just hilarious

I find myself imagining it sometimes
The two of us on a roller coaster ride
Sooner or later if we run off the track
We'll get it back don't ever doubt it
So why not forget about it

Hey now, don't be funny
Ha ha, you're acting funny
Come back, where are you gone
This girl thinks you've been somewhere else too long
Where's Mr. Sunny
Hands up give me the money
And I'm not laughing but this funny stuff is just hilarious
