Lay On, Take Off Songtext
von The Wild Things

Lay On, Take off
The sidewalk scattered, the folks never payed much mind
Lay On, Take off
Time don′t matter, the bars spill out in the night
Past neon lights in the sky there was nothing but stars
You realise we're alive and the city is ours
I don′t ask a lot of myself
But when I do the answer is always the same
I won't make you stay around
Bleeding hearts and bruises forever remain
Take On, Lay off
The pinball soda is cold, and it's only a dime
Lay On, Take off The rain won′t let us go so we play all night
Past city lines in the night there was nothing but stars
You realise we′re alive and the city is ours
I don't ask a lot of myself
But when I do the answer is always the same
I won′t make you stay around
Bleeding hearts and bruises forever remain
Everyone has a reason
Never needed a reason
For the soaking shoes and the rooftop blues
For the stay up kids and the get down kids
For the ones who don't fit in and the ones who sing along
And the hometown runarounds, the ones who never follow the rules


You close your eyes, recognise there′s a voice in the dark
Singing aloud we're alive and the city is ours
I don′t ask a lot of myself
But when I do the answer is always the same
I won't make you stay around
Bleeding hearts and bruises forever remain
