Well I'm so above you
And it's plain to see
But I came to love you anyway
So you pulled my heart out
And I don't mind bleeding
Any old time you keep me waiting
Waiting, waiting
Oh, oh-oh I got a love that keeps me waiting
Oh, oh-oh I got a love that keeps me waiting
I'm a lonely boy
I'm a lonely boy
Oh, oh-oh I got a love that keeps me waiting
Well your mama kept you but your daddy left you
And I should've done you just the same
But I came to love you
Am I born to bleed?
Any old time you keep me waiting
Waiting, waiting
Oh, oh-oh I got a love that keeps me waiting
Oh, oh-oh I got a love that keeps me waiting
I'm a lonely boy
I'm a lonely boy
Oh, oh-oh I got a love that keeps me waiting
Hey!
Oh, oh-oh I got a love that keeps me waiting
Oh, oh-oh I got a love that keeps me waiting
I'm a lonely boy
I'm a lonely boy
Oh, oh-oh I got a love that keeps me waiting

Dead And Gone
Nah nah, nah nah, nah nah nah, nah nah
Nah nah, nah nah, nah nah nah, nah nah (Whoa oh oh)
Alone
Why'd you wait him so long?
After every single word is said
I'm feeling dead and gone
Along
Don't you drag me along
If you do, you know I'll follow you
Until the truth is known
I'll go anywhere you go, oh oh oh [x2]
All the way, all the way
I'll go anywhere you go, oh oh oh [x2]
All the way, all the way
So long
Why'd it take you so long?
Every time I hear the whistle blow
I'm down below, your pawn
Don't call me, I'll call you
Is what you say, I'll obey
Chill tonight, or eatin' right
I need to say, gotta say
I'll go anywhere you go, oh oh oh [x2]
All the way, all the way
I'll go anywhere you go, oh oh oh [x2]
All the way, all the way
Nah nah, nah nah, nah nah nah, nah nah
Nah nah, nah nah, nah nah nah, nah nah (Whoa oh oh)
Nah nah, nah nah, nah nah nah, nah nah (Whoa oh oh)

Gold On The Ceiling
Down in the waves
She screams again
Roar at the door
My mind can't take much more
I could never drown in
They wanna get my...
They wanna get my
Gold on the ceiling
I ain't blind
Just a matter of time
Before you steal it
It's alright
Ain't no guard in my house
Clouds covered love's
Barb-wired snare
Strung up, strung out
I just can't go without
I could never drown in
They wanna get my...
They wanna get my
Gold on the ceiling
I ain't blind
Just a matter of time
Before you steal it
It's alright
Ain't no guard in my house
[x2]
She screams again
Roar at the door
My mind can't take much more
I could never drown in
They wanna get my...
They wanna get my
Gold on the ceiling
I ain't blind
Just a matter of time
Before you steal it
It's alright
Ain't no guard in my house
Clouds covered love's
Barb-wired snare
Strung up, strung out
I just can't go without
I could never drown in
They wanna get my...
They wanna get my
Gold on the ceiling
I ain't blind
Just a matter of time
Before you steal it
It's alright
Ain't no guard in my house

Little Black Submarines
Little black submarines
Operator please
Put me back on the line
Told my girl I'd be back
Operator please
This is wreckin' my mind
Oh can it be
The voices calling me
They get lost
And out of time
I should've seen it glow
But everybody knows
That a broken heart is blind
That a broken heart is blind
Pick you up, let you down
When I wanna go
To a place I can hide
You know me, I had plans
But they just disappeared
To the back of my mind
Oh can it be
The voices calling me
They get lost
And out of time
I should've seen a glow
But everybody knows
That a broken heart is blind
That a broken heart is blind
Treasure maps, fallen trees
Operator please
Call me back when it's time
Stolen friends and disease
Operator please
Patch me back to my mind
Oh can it be
The voices calling me
They get lost

Run Right Back
Before she hits the ground
She's gonna want to explode
Never step aside
Never run and hide
She holds it all up under
That pretty head of hers, oh
It comes screaming out
In an electric shout
She's the worst thing
I've been addicted to
I run right back
Run right back to her
I wanna jump the track
And run right back, I'm sure
I run right back to her
I run right back to her
I run right back to her
I run right back to her
I run right back to her
Well she's a special thing
She doesn't read too much, oh
But there's no doubt
She's written about
Finest exterior
She's so superior, oh
But she won't allow
And I'm wounded now
She's the worst thing
I've been addicted to
I run right back
Run right back to her
I wanna jump the track
And run right back, I'm sure
I run right back to her
I run right back to her

Stop Stop
You're wound up like a weapon
You've got an evil streak
They told me to stay away
But I was much too weak
Yea you gotta stop, stop can't you hear me call
And singing gotta stop, stop it girl
Yea you gotta stop, stop can't you see me fall
And singing stop, stop it girl
I hounded/hunted you forever
But you never saw
This love was so strong it shoulda
Been against the law
Yea you gotta stop, stop can't you hear me call
And singing gotta stop, stop it girl
Yea you gotta stop, stop can't you see me fall
And singing stop, stop it girl
You tear me all apart
Then act so warm
Like being cooled by the rain
In the eye of the storm
Yea you gotta stop, stop can't you hear me call
And singing gotta stop, stop it girl
Yea you gotta stop, stop can't you see me fall
And singing stop, stop it girl

Nova Baby
You walk around in other towns
I've seen you out, just hangin' 'round
It's what you chose and I suppose
You'll need me one day, need me one day
You throw away every other dream
Taking nova baby to the dollar machine
That party dress is such a mess
You'll need me one day, need me one day soon!
All your enemies
Smile when you fall
You take it cause you
Don't know what you want
You don't know what you want.
All this love of mine
All my precious time
You waste it cause you
Don't know what you want
You don't know what you want
There go the kids, the have-nots
Elevator ladies in the parking lots
You saw it all and I recall
The dream you told me, dream you told me.
This empty heart, you left me with
The ribbon on my parting gift
I'm falling hard for every yard
Of the dream you sold me, dream you sold me, oh!
All your enemies
Smile when your fall
You take it cause you
Don't know what you want
You don't know what you want
All this love of mine

Mind Eraser
When I need to replace her
I am the mind eraser
Anything goes, yeah, anything goes
Got this sin in her brain
But she ain't gonna see me again
See me again, this I know
But oh, deep down I can't let go
Oh, don't let it be over, over oh
Oh, don't let it be over, let it be over, over
Seen me stack up my woes
Into a wall, around a rose
Now I'm the rose, now she knows
Oh, it hurts so, and I can't let go
Oh, don't let it be over, over, oh
Oh, don't let it be over, let it be over, oh oh
Oh, don't let it be over, over
Oh, don't let it be over, let it be over, oh.
I am the mind eraser
Anything goes, yeah, anything goes
Got this sin in her brain
But she ain't gonna see me again
See me again, this I know
But oh, deep down I can't let go
Oh, don't let it be over, over oh
Oh, don't let it be over, let it be over, over
Seen me stack up my woes
Into a wall, around a rose
Now I'm the rose, now she knows
Oh, it hurts so, and I can't let go
Oh, don't let it be over, over, oh
Oh, don't let it be over, let it be over, oh oh

El Camino is the seventh studio album by American rock duo the Black Keys. It was co-produced by Danger Mouse and the group, and was released on Nonesuch Records on December 6, 2011. The record was the band's follow-up to their commercial breakthrough, Brothers (2010), and was their third collaboration with Danger Mouse. El Camino draws from popular genres of the 1950s to 1970s, such as rock and roll, glam rock, rockabilly, surf rock and soul. Danger Mouse contributed as a co-writer on each of the 11 songs alongside guitarist Dan Auerbach and drummer Patrick Carney.
The album was recorded from March to May 2011 in Nashville, Tennessee, at Easy Eye Sound Studio, which Auerbach opened the year prior. The band approached writing and recording differently than on previous albums, as they entered the studio without having written any material and deliberated longer on how to structure songs. After struggling to translate the slower songs from Brothers to a live setting, the band wrote more uptempo, hook-laden tracks for El Camino. The album's cover art depicts a minivan similar to one the group toured in early in their career, but in an inside joke, they named the record after the El Camino muscle car. A faux newspaper advertisement and parody car commercial playing on this joke were used to promote the record prior to release.
Lead single "Lonely Boy" became the group's highest-charting single in several countries, including the United States, Australia, and Canada. The album was acclaimed by critics and was ranked in many publications' year-end lists of the best albums of the year. It debuted at number two on the US Billboard 200 and reached the top five of the album charts in Australia, Canada, Belgium (Flanders), and New Zealand. The album was certified multi-platinum in the US, Australia, Canada, and New Zealand, as well as platinum in the United Kingdom, France, and Ireland. The Black Keys supported the album with the El Camino Tour, their first headlining arena tour. Four additional singles were released, including "Gold on the Ceiling" and "Little Black Submarines", which were rock radio successes. El Camino won the award for Best Rock Album at the 55th Annual Grammy Awards, while "Lonely Boy" received honors for Best Rock Performance and Best Rock Song.
