The Kills - Heart Of A Dog

From sea to mountain valley

From flesh to palms a’ swaying

Dreamers dreaming on

No matter what they’re saying

I need you

Don’t ask me why it is

I want strings - attached

Unnatural as it feels

I’m loyal, oh oh, I’m loyal

From starry eyes colliding

From Mars to someone crying

I’m never far away

No matter what I’m hiding

I get lost

But I always come around

It’s a strange fear

Allows me to be found

I’m loyal, oh oh, I’m loyal

I’m loyal, oh oh

I got the heart of a dog

It’s life or death why I chew through the chain

It don’t matter my love’s the same

Go so far but never long

Can’t break the spell in my heart

I’m loyal, oh oh, I’m loyal

I’m loyal, oh oh

I got the heart of a dog

From bars to beds of laying

From boots of lead to changing

I’m hooked from deep inside

Call when you’re ready cos I’m ready to ride

I’m loyal, oh oh

I’m loyal, oh oh

I got the heart of a dog

The Kills - That Love

One two three four

Will you or won't you
Cross that road in time?
Will you or won't you outrun,
what you know you must?

It's over now
It's over now
That love you're in
Is fucked up

Will you or won't you
Land softly down?
Will you or won't you
Be around?

It's over now
It's over now
That love you're in
Is all fucked up
That love is done

If you get a minute
You can find a whole day and think
Let somebody in that ain't
Cuttin' like a snake

The thump of the red blooded heart
Is trumped by the art of war
Try the truth and test it before
You lose sight of the shore

It's over now
It's over now
That love you're in
Is a fucking joke
That love

The Kills - Echo Home

I'm flowing with the waters
I'm spinning into orbit
So won't you come on home
And make it alright

I'm drifting in the same old boat
With a different crew
So won't you come on home
And make it alright
Won't you echo back
And make it fine

Maybe you'll go out of your mind
You can lose it all if you wanna
Maybe you'll go out of mine
It's been so long

You can keep your own dear life
You can lose it all if you wanna
But I can't keep you out of mine, oh no

We were dancing to a beat of our own
Flying with our speakers blown
Oh won't you come on back
And make it alright

And if I take a turn for the worst
And I call you on the phone
Will you echo home when I call
Won't you echo back and make it alright
Won't you echo home and make me fine

Maybe you went out of your mind
You can lose it all if you wanna
Maybe you went out of mine
It's been so long

You can live your own dear life
You can lose it all if you wanna
But I can't let you out of mine, oh no

And it's a long long long long drop
From the rocks to the pearls, we got so lost
We got so lost, we got so lost
For so long

And it's a long long long long drop
From the rocks to the pearls, we got so lost
We got so lost, we got so lost
For so long, for so long, so long
For so long, oh

Maybe you went out of your mind
You can lose it all if you wanna
Maybe you went out of mine
It's been so long

You can live your own dear life
And you can lose it all if you wanna
But I can't let you out of mine, oh no

I'm flowing with the waters
I'm spinning into orbit
So won't you come on home
And make it alright
So won't you come on home
And make it fine

The Kills - Black Tar

One hit, one invention
You must pay your ransom
Love, lust, you're too handsome
Fairytales are fair game

The world is looking for you
Sharpening its blade
London's bloodthirsty
Paris is a vein, open
A vein on the pulse of mean

Big brushing out-winged sparrow
I'm gonna catch you by the hair of the night
Fortune's arrow
Prick quick to pick a fight

The world is tripping for you
Bidding on your blood
L.A. Catatonia
New York black tar runs, over
Runs over you for fun

Big brushing out-winged sparrow
Hot cooking all De Niro Light
Tucked, prim and primed
If chance were so divine, why

Cool thing go mad and crazy
Some dick is looking for a way
White screen field of daisies
Pull em up, but they all stay
Standing in your way
Stay, standing in your way
