Little Dark Age - MGMT

Up on a hill is where we begin This little story a long time ago Start to pretend, stop pretending It seems this game is simply never ending Oh, in the sun, sun, having fun It's in my blood, I just can't help it Don't want you here right now, let me go Oh, let me g-g-g-g-g-g-g-go Leaving just in time Staying for a while Rolling in the ocean Trying to catch her eye Work hard and say it's easy Do it just to please me Tomorrow will be different So I pretend I'm leavin' Our fears are different now We train an AVA I wish you hadn't stayed My vision's clearer now but I'm unafraid Flying overseas No time to feel the breeze I took too many varieties Oh, in the sunshine having fun It's in my blood, I just can't help it Don't want you here right now. let me go, woo Darlin', let me g-g-g-g-g-g-go Leaving just in time Staying for a while Rollin' in the ocean Tryin' to catch her eye Work hard and say it's easy Do it just to please me Tomorrow will be different So this is why I'm leavin'

Why do I love him? He don't love back When I call his name, he turns his back The weather is growing cold And I want him back again I kinda know this other guy but he's rather Old enough to be my father So he's not the one for me 'Cause I fancy younger men I'm at a loss Not a coincidence he left me because My older man Was ready to love me like the woman that I am Ooh-ooh-ooh So is it such a problem if he's old? As long as he does whatever he is told I'm glad that it's just my heart that he stole And left my dignity alone When in Rome we landed our first kiss I, slurred my words but he pretended not to notice And then he sat down to play My heart sang a symphony So far, so swimmingly I'm glad I got out to find my fish in that sea And we've come so far So who gives a damn about the ages we are? Ooh-ooh-ooh So is it such a problem if he's old? As long as he does whatever he is told I'm glad that it's just my heart that he stole And left my dignity alone So is it such a problem if he's old? As long as he does whatever he's told I know that I'm gonna survive the December cold With somebody to retrieve my long lost soul With somebody to retrieve my long lost soul

Oh, you don't know me 'cause I'm from a different age And you can't see me 'cause I live in a different age And you can hurt me but you wouldn't know what to say But you should believe me, our dreams are all the same Like a life without love God, that's just insane But a love without a life Well, that just happens everyday And I wish I could change, but I'll probably just stay the same And I wish you could sing along But this song is a joke and the melody I wrote, wrote! Oh, you can't hear me 'cause I sing to a different age And you should fear me 'cause I believe in a different age But I live in the city that lives in a different age Oh, I live in a city that lives in a different age Where all the poets are writing memoirs And I'm still singing songs Oh, all the poets are writing memoirs And I'm still singing songs This city's got nothing for you here, kid Oh, I told you just go home They're saying this city is useless But we've already done it all Oh, all the poets are writing memoirs And I'm still singing songs And I wish you could see the Lord But this song is a joke and the melody I wrote, wrote!

Holding hands Skipping like a stone On our way To see what we have done The first to speak Is the first to lie The children cross Their hearts and hope to die Bite your tongue Swear to keep your mouth shut Ask yourself Will I burn in hell Then write it down And cast it in the well There they are The mob, it cries for blood To twist the tale Into firewood Fan the flames With a little lie Then turn your cheek Until the fire dies The skin, it peels Like the truth, away What it was I will never say Bite your tongue, swear to keep Keep your mouth shut Make up something, make up something good Holding hands Skipping like a stone Burn the witch Burn to ash and bone Burn the witch Burn to ash and bone Burn the witch Burn to ash and bone

فوسط زحمة وناس كتير وطريق أنا ماشي فيه عكس السير وسط الطموح والأمل والتمني فاضلي خطوة توصلني فوسط حاجات ومكيفات بحاول أنسى كل اللي فات في وسط صدري ضلعي مكسور ومن خلاله قلبي شايف نور أنا كنت فاكر اني طاير وأتاريني على وشي بقع أنا كنت فاكر إني هوصل لكني بهرب من الوجع أنا كنت فاكر اني طاير وأتاريني على وشي بقع أنا كنت فاكر إني هوصل لكني بهرب من الوجع فوسط الليل وأنا بعيد عن البشر شفت نور يشبه نور القمر بس القمر مسيره يفارق ويسيبني تاني مع الوحدة أحارب فوسط قصة حب يعني وهمية كان لازم أصدق اصل الوحدة قوية مش كل المشاعر حقيقية أنا شفت نور معرفتش اغمض عنيا أنا كنت فاكر اني طاير وأتاريني على وشي بقع أنا كنت فاكر إني هوصل لكني بهرب من الوجع أنا كنت فاكر اني طاير وأتاريني على وشي بقع أنا كنت فاكر إني هوصل لكني بهرب من الوجع
