"Burning Up"

by Ladytron

I wrote a protest song about you, about you

Set off on the long march without you, without you

I wrote a protest song about you, about you
About what's left that lies between us, I'm walking
So many things we're burning for

I set myself on fire without you, without you
I wrote a protest song about you, about you
that not a soul was meant to hear, except you

I wrote a protest song about you, about you
I cheated gravity to chase you, to chase you
and through the burning space between us, you're falling
you have a long way, long way to fall

I set myself on fire without you, without you
I wrote a protest song about you, about you
that not a soul was meant to hear, except you

So many things we're burning for

"Kids"



by MGMT

You were a child
Crawling on your knees toward him
Making momma so proud
But your voice is too loud
We like to watch you laughing
Picking insects off of plants
No time to think of consequences

Control yourself
Take only what you need from him
A family of trees wanting to be haunted
Control yourself
Take only what you need from him

The water is warm
But it's sending me shivers
A baby is born
Crying out for attention
Memories fade
Like looking through a fogged mirror
Decisions too
Decisions are made
Decisions are made and not bought
But I thought this wouldn't hurt a lot
I guess not

Control yourself
Take only what you need from him
A family of trees wanting to be haunted
Control yourself
Take only what you need from him
