Caroline Polachek
Tell me what you're afraid of
Tell what night is made of
What can I not destroy for you?
Color the night electric
Get in me like a secret
I open the door and you run through
What is Pang?
Who's gonna pay attention
To the redheads of the world
Who's gonna call them up at night
When they're naked and alone
And who's gonna kiss the brown haired girls
Who's gonna wipe away their tears
What is The Blonde?
Let me be your leccy meter
And I'll never run out
Let me be the portable heater
That you'll get cold without
I wanna be your setting lotion (wanna be)
Hold your hair in deep devotion (How deep?)
What is I Wanna Be Yours?
Pretty little liar
What you gonna say?
Tell me that you love me
Lying to my face
I know you double-crossed me
Girl, you're such a fake
What is this is what heartbreak feels like?
Living in the night
'Neath heavens torn asunder
You call on me to solve a crooked rhyme
As I'm closing in
Imposing on your slumber
You call on me as bells begin to chime
What is Square Hammer?
Pretty with the critical mass
Your body has the body power
Lying at the foot of a linden
In the navel ring, inventing June
Where did you come from, you?
What is Blood and Butter?
She said, "How could you joke at a time like this?"
I know why, because this is what you wanted all along now, isn't it?
I think that all you ever really ever wanted was a reason to complain
That never stopped you before, don't let it get in your way
Those are her words, not mine
What is Birds Don't Sing?
I'm a puppet on a string
Tracy Island, time-travelin' diamond cutter-shaped heartaches
Come to find you four in some velvet mornin' years too late
She's a silver linin', lone ranger ridin' through an open space
In my mind, when she's not right there beside me
What is R U Mine?
look me dead in my eyes
(Dead in my) 'til the day that I die
(Dead inside) I just wanna feel alive
(With you, I'm alive) with you, I'm alive
Fell in love, but it left me lonely
I feel your presence amongst us
You cannot hide in the darkness
Can you hear the rumble?
Can you hear the rumble that's calling?
I know your soul is not tainted
What is Cirice?
You're not alone
Under a sky of vultures
With all that could've been
You made it home
What is I Believe?
She only wanted to lie beside him
To hell with his best friend
She woke him up and she whispered
But the answer wasn't good
What is Louise?
You used to get it in your fishnets
Now you only get it in your night dress
Discarded all the naughty nights for niceness
Landed in a very common crisis
What is Fluorescent Adolescent?
Way up, how I feel right now (right now)
Touch down whole city get loud
But I don't wanna hear nothing right now
Right now, they talk, but I don't hear a sound
What is this is what space feels like?
In times of turmoil
In times like these
Beliefs contagious
Spreading disease
What is Rats?
I can picture you right now
At a window seat
Crying for nobody, except the world
What is Hey Big Eyes?
I think you'd fall in love with anyone
Who fell in love with you
And they frequently do
What is Hate Yourself?
My days end best when the sunset gets itself behind
That little lady sittin' on the passenger side
It's much less picturesque without her catchin' the light
What is Arabella?
Happiness was just a fad, fad
The Serotonin highs keep falling down
Through benediction
You tried to rid your mind of malediction
But through all this time
What is Spillways?
If this is a dream
I don't want to wake up
What is Coma?
It's been such a long day
I wanna waterslide back out to sea
What is Everything Blue?
The shake, rattle and roll
All the cracks in blackout blinds cast patterns on the ceiling
What is One For The Road?
Last week, been a whole year, but it feel like last week
When I was your boy fallin' hard in the backstreets
What is catch me?
Suffering for the Lord is not an easy thing
Be it a conjuring
What is Griftwood?
