Swallowing the Decibels Songtext
von Yeasayer

Nobody makes noise to make the Earth move anymore
Uneasy line in the shallow groove, can you ask for more?
I′m just as hungry as I was before

And no one's gonna remember your name, when you′re gone
Gonna find another pretty diva with a new song
Two more if you're lucky you could last so long
Have this reflect your time
And show it off until your back goes out, and keep sharp eyed
I'm gonna tell you not to lay your guard down


Your work is done, let′s go out, don′t come here, not next door
They mightn't care what you were listening to last year, now they′re bored
I'm just as hungry as I was before
I′ll best reflect your time
And show it off until your back goes out, and keep sharp eyes
I thought I told you not to lay your guard down.
Reflect your time
And show it off until your back goes out, and keep sharp eyed

I thought I told you not to lay your guard now...

How can you spend your past you can't pretend
I see you still begging on the scraps on the floor
They′ll never lie, they won't take the time to get by and then you will
They're going nowhere but they won′t stop trying and we′re swallowing the decibels
They're going nowhere but we won′t stop trying and we're swallowing the decibels (x12)
