Kemosabe Songtext
von Everything Everything

Four walls and a cauldron of Kalashnikoving
And our home is a trigger that I′m always pulling
At the border, at the, at the border
I'm at the border, at the, at the border
The short spears and the weak eternal monologuing
And our war is the crucible of all your longing
At the border, at the, at the border
I′m at the border, at the, at the border

I was there when the clamour got real
And I was there when your brow smashed the wall
It's like a riot with only two perps
The more I'm here, I′m making it worse
But does it feel like you′re already dead? (Yes!)
And do you feel like your brain stopped delivering?
Yeah, break my finger, shoot out my black eyes
What does it matter if everyone dies?


(Hey!)
Hey Kemosabe, I'm alone
I am
I am alone
(Hey!)
Hey Kemosabe, I′m alone
I am
I am alone
Hi-O Silver away

So, fast, hence, take an arrow from your quiver, or we're
Past tense, what′s a trilobite to anyone?
I'm outta my depth, outta, outta my depth
I′m outta my depth, outta-ta my depth, hit it
My head reels and I'm crawling down the corridor, I
Can't see, but I′m heaving like a holocaust
I′m reaching my phone, reaching-ching my phone
I'm reaching my phone, reaching, reaching my phone

You wasn′t there when I orphaned that boy (no!)
Your body was and the white of your rollin' eye
I saw some terrible things on that night
I done a lot of bad things with my life
Hm, I put my fingers in thee
Hey, and I breeze past security
Ah, nobody checking on all of my deeds
I need a checker for all of my deeds


(Hey!)
Hey Kemosabe, I′m alone
I am
I am alone
(Hey!)
Hey Kemosabe, I'm alone
I am
I am alone

And we be trapped in the amber last joy
And I′m looking at a holy ghost
But there's no silver bullet for a memory, I
Field dress every moment, but you're telling me that
Tonto say, "I′ve lost my way"

(Hey!)
Hey Kemosabe, I′m alone
I am
I am alone
(Hey!)
Hey Kemosabe, I'm alone
I am
I am alone
Hi-O Silver away

Hm, and I′m lost and I'm drained
′Nough genuflecting in a penitent way

(Hey!)
Hey Kemosabe, I'm alone
I am
I am alone
(Hey!)
Hey Kemosabe, I′m alone
I am (yeah)
I am alone
Hi-O Silver away
