Dreamworld : Rilo Kiley

She was the girl with the string around her neck,
With the boy who could only give her less.
It could be more if she learned to never expect,
And now she’s her and him and then a baby next.

The wedding bells won’t ring, but she couldn’t care less,
You exist, when you’re living in a dream world.

He grew up drinking milk from the cow, from the farm.
He was the traitor’s father’s father’s father.
His father made him go give back to his country.
He gave his both knees, his overseas to fight the disease.

It’s spreading fast over maps and it don’t look back,
When you’re living in a dream world.

It is a lion’s science fiction wings,
Just like a jolly dizzy for zero, one, three times
The size of the people that came before.
Me and you and what we’d do for money.

This greed and jealousy turn to need.
See, I’m a man with a plan to use my hands.
I’m touching yours, you’re the girl who wanted more.
Now baby, the story has faded from love to lie.

The clover under your feet is shooting stars in the night.
The people under your feet are shooting stars in the night.
The people, all that you meet, they’re living in a dream world

Smoke Detector : Rilo Kiley

My eyes burn, everybody smokes
My eyes burn, everybody smokes
I smoke too, but not as much as you
I do the smoke detector

There is a girl in a tank top
She is not wearing a bra
She looks so hard on the dance floor
She does the smoke detector

She says “danger
“Do the smoke detector”
She says “danger
“I’m the smoke detector”

I took a man back to my room
I was smoking him in bed
Yeah, i was smoking in bed
This is what he said.

I took a man back to my room
I was smoking in bed
Yeah, I was smoking in bed
This is what he said.

I said “danger
“Do the smoke detector”
I said “danger
“Do the smoke detector

[repeat!]

The Angels Hung Around : Rilo Kiley

I been had and I been held
With the ghosts at bay
I been oaked and I been doped
And carried away

I been charred and I been scarred
On my own face
But i never thought I’d see you as I did today

Till the angels hung around
Till the angels hung around
Till the angels hung around
As they carried me away

I been clubbed and I been snubbed
By the dogs of LA
And I been burned and I been learned
In the same city

I been whored and I been gored
I been less and I been more
But I never thought I’d see you
As I did today

Till the angels hung around
Till the angels hung around
Till the angels hung around
As they carried me away

You were stuck in the badlands
Acting like a bad bad man
I been photographed and painted up
And I been in love only once

And I feared the best and loved the worst
And insisted that I go first
And watch your eyes as they poured
And I never really loved you more

And I never thought I’d see you
As I did today

Till the angels hung around
Till the angels hung around
Till the angels hung around
As they carried you away

And they put you in the ground
When the angels hung around
And the angels hung around
As they carried me away

Give A Little Love :

You’ll get your money
I’ll get my friends
Hard living’s forgiven
In the end

You got your troubles
I got mine
On a clear day I can
Read your mind

Oh it’s like a battlefield inside

You got to
Give a little love
Give a little love
Give a little love
To get a little love
Give a little love
Give a little love

I know you better
Than you want me to
Inside your pockets
And walking in your shoes

Oh it can get better if you try

You got to
Give a little love
Give a little love
Give a little love
To get a little love
Give a little love
Give a little love

I hope you
Give a little love
Give a little love
Give a little love
To get a little love
Give a little love
Give a little love

I keep you close
In my wildest dreams
My rear-view mirror
And you’re waving to me
Our last goodbye

You got to
Give a little love
Give a little love
Give a little love
To get a little love
Give a little love
Give a little love

I hope you
Give a little love
Give a little love
Give a little love
To get a little love
Give a little love
Give a little love

Silver Lining :

And I’m not going back
Into rags or in the hole
And our bruises are coming
But we will never fold

And i was your silver lining
As the story goes
I was your silver lining
But now I’m gold

Hooray hooray
I’m your silver lining
Hooray hooray
But now I’m gold

And I was your silver lining
High up on my toes
You were running through fields of hitch-hikers
As the story goes

Hooray hooray
I’m your silver lining
Hooray hooray
But now I’m gold

Hooray hooray
I’m your silver lining
Hooray hooray
But now I’m gold

And the grass it was a ticking
And the sun was on the rise
I never felt so wicked
As when I willed our love to die

And I was your silver lining
As the story goes
I was your silver lining
But now I’m gold

Hooray hooray
I’m your silver lining
Hooray hooray
But now I’m gold

Hooray hooray
I’m your silver lining
Hooray hooray
But now I’m gold

But now I’m gold
But now I’m gold
