The Black Keys - Let's Rock Lyrics






Shine A Little Light

Do you feel like you're the only one living on a prayer?
Have you ever tried to love someone who wasn't even there?

No one really knows
Where it goes from here
But we all decompose
And slowly disappear

If evil lays his hands on me
Shine a little light on my soul
Show me things I cannot see
Shine a little light on my soul

Go to places that you used to go
But they don't feel the same
See the faces that you used to know
But they forget your name

No one really knows
Where it goes from here
But we all decompose
And slowly disappear

If evil lays his hands on me
Shine a little light on my soul
Show me things I cannot see
Shine a little light on my soul

If evil lays his hands on me
Shine a little light on my soul
I'm waiting, praying, patiently
Shine a little light on my soul

Eagle Birds

See twin eagle birds up
In the tree
One for you and there's
One for me
When we thought we
Might be losing our minds
We saw the signs

Don't nobody wanna be lonely
Everybody oughta be loved sometime

Feel you simmer down
In the pan
Feed me dinner right out
Of your hand
All night long I
Had you on my mind
Flying high

Don't nobody wanna be lonely
Everybody oughta be loved sometime
She love me right

You can search forever you might
Never find
A love so real that will
Heal like mine
Eagle bird I
Heard you fly on by
Late last night

Don't nobody wanna be lonely
Everybody oughta be loved
Don't nobody wanna be lonely
Everybody oughta be loved sometime

She love me right
Flying high
With you and I

Lo/Hi

Out on the land in the wind of a hurricane
Down at the bar like a star in the howlin' rain

Nobody to love you
Nobody to care
If you got
Nobody to hug you
No one to answer your prayer

You get low (low)
Like a valley
High (high)
Like a bird in the sky
You get low (low)
'Cause you're angry
Low
High
High
Low

One at a time
Get in line for the masquerade
Drink 'til you cry
And you're lying in the mess you made

Nobody to love you
Nobody to care
Nobody to drug you
No one to hold back your hair

You get low (low)
Like a valley
High (high)
Like a bird in the sky
You get low (low)
'Cause you're angry
Low
High
High
Low

You get low (low)
Like a valley
High (high)
Like a bird in the sky
You get low (low)
'Cause you're angry
Low
High
High
Low

Low
High
High
Low
Low
High
High
Low

Walk Across The Water

I can barely wait to get a hold on you
I wanna feel the one who has my love
Always come a runnin' when you want me to
I put no one else above
Only one I'm dreaming of

Your sugar coated love has got a hold on me
You know you do it to me every time
Got me seeing colors that I never could see
Now I got a one track mind

Rivers run into the ocean
Oceans run into the blue
Look around at all the commotion
Then I walk across the water for you

Clown around forever in the summer time
Down around the deep blue sea
Me and you together for the longest ride
From here to eternity
Feels just like a dream to me

Rivers run into the ocean
Oceans run into the blue
Look around at all the commotion
Then I walk across the water for you
Then I walk across the water for you

Tell Me Lies

Burn, baby burn
You live and learn every time along the way
Lies, tellin' lies
Hypnotize, disguising things you say

Tell me lies
Tell me all your pretty lies
Tell me lies
La-la-la-la-la-la-lies

Words, tiny words
Takin' turns ever burnin' memories
On, moving on
Moving on 'cause it's only make believe

Tell me lies
Tell me all your pretty lies
Tell me lies
La-la-la-la-la-la-lies

Every woman who's ever loved you is telling you lies
Everyone who's ever loved you would never deny

Tell me lies
Tell me all your pretty lies
Tell me lies
La-la-la-la-la-la-lies
Tell me lies
La-la-la-la-la-la-lies

Every Little Thing

When you look into the mirror
Do your secrets start to show?
You been holding onto something that you wish you didn't know
Every little thing that you do
Is always gonna come back to you

So put your hand into the hair of someone that you love
Pretty face, hand her everything you're dreaming of
Every little thing that you do
Is always gonna come back to you

Hold on
Count your blessings
It moves on and it ain't always smooth
Every little thing that you do
Is always gonna come back to you

Build a house, fill it up
Make your part, making love
Move it right, moving wrong
Living life like a song
Every little thing that you do
Is always gonna come back to you

Hold on
Count your blessings
It rolls on and it ain't always smooth
Every little thing that you do
Is always gonna come back to you

Oh back to you
Back to you

Get Yourself Together

I'll go, I'll go wherever you go
Don't care, I'm here, I want you to know
Don't run, we'll make time and take it real slow
I'll go, I'll go wherever you go
I'm with you, whatever you do

You gotta get yourself together babe
Try to keep it cool
You wanna make it last forever maybe
Get behind the new
You gotta get yourself together babe
Keep your motor clean
We wanna make it run forever maybe
I'm your gasoline
Oh, no, no, no

I'll do, I'll do whatever you do
Love me and I'll be lovin' on you
Treat me sweetly like I want you to
And I'll do, I'll do whatever you do
You can choose, make up all the rules

You gotta get yourself together babe
Try to keep it cool
You wanna make it last forever maybe
Get behind the new
You gotta get yourself together babe
Keep your motor clean
We wanna make it run forever maybe
I'm your gasoline
Oh, no, no, no

I'll go, I'll go wherever you go
Don't care, I'm here, I want you to know
Don't mind, we'll make time and take it real slow
I'll go, I'll go wherever you go
I'm with you, whatever you do

You gotta get yourself together babe
Try to keep it cool
You wanna make it last forever maybe
Get behind the new
You gotta get yourself together babe
Keep your motor clean
We wanna make it run forever maybe
I'm your gasoline
Oh, no, no, no

Oh, no, no, no
Oh, no, no, no
Oh, no, no, no

Sit Around and Miss You

We used to play pretend
You and me thought it might never end
Now I wonder where you've been
I sit around and miss you

The fireflies went dark
Turning all the darkness to the shore
Oh, what made us let it go?
I sit around and miss you

I miss you awful bad now
I miss the friend I had now
I miss you

Now when it's getting dark
I walk beside our ghosts out in the park
Always sure we'd leave our mark
I sit around and miss you

I miss you awful bad now
I miss the friend I had now
I miss you
I sit around and miss you

Go

In the summer time
Getting hot outside
The streets are bare
There's no one there
And the valley is wide

There comes a time
Two hearts of gold
Live together
Run forever
On the open road

They gotta go oh oh oh
Oh oh oh
They gotta go oh oh oh
Oh oh oh

In the winter time
When the day is long
You're halfway there
The field is bare
And the fire is gone

Are you all alone?
Are you feeling cold?
Find your flame
Call her name
And hit the road

You gotta go oh oh oh
Oh oh oh
You gotta go oh oh oh
Oh oh oh

You gotta go oh oh oh
Oh oh oh
You gotta go oh oh oh
Oh oh oh
You gotta go oh oh oh
Oh oh oh
You gotta go oh oh oh
Oh oh oh

Breaking Down

I went out on the town and I stumbled
I got caught in the trap of somethin'
Bag of bones, sat alone in the deep end
Pull me up, you don't know what I've been through
It was so cruel

When your heart's been aching
When you can't escape it
Don't you feel like breaking down?

Took a trip on the skip in the ocean
Sunk my ship, like a brick, I was sulking
Comin' round on the tide of your lovin'
Spun me round, ran aground, next to nothing
Ain't it something?

When your heart's been aching
When you can't escape it
Don't you feel like breaking down?

When the earth is shaking
And your soul's been taken
Don't you feel like breaking down?
Breaking down

When your heart's been aching
When you can't escape it
Don't you feel like breaking down?
Breaking down

Under The Gun

Leaving now, all I have is all I own
I'm hoping it's all I need
Ran me down and the love was like a rolling stone
Only way out was to leave

On the road but I'm on the run
It ain't no fun when you're under the gun
We made a deal but the dealer done run
And I'm under the gun
Call me at sun down
I'm under the gun now

My darkest hour
Locked inside my lonely room
Counting the cracks on the wall
Pretty flowers, I still smell the sweet perfume
Then I make a mess of it all

On the road but I'm on the run
It ain't no fun when you're under the gun
We made a deal but the dealer done run
And I'm under the gun
Call me at sun down
I'm under the gun now

I drive the interstate
Rode just like thunder should
I'd get out from under if I could
Calming the sun down
I'm under the gun now

On the road but I'm on the run
It ain't no fun when you're under the gun
We made a deal but the dealer done run
And I'm under the gun
On the road but I'm on the run
It ain't no fun when you're under the gun
We made a deal but the dealer done run
And I'm under the gun
Calming the sun down
I'm under the gun now
Calming the sun down
I'm under the gun now

Fire Walk With Me

Fire walk with me
I'm tired as I can be
Bruised, my weary soul
Flames now take control

Fire light the way
Burn the night to day
Bathe in afterglow
Everywhere I go

Roll on fire
Higher and higher
Living in a fever dream
Feeling that fire walk with me

Fire in the sky
Burning ball of light
The heavens are ablaze
Flames are like a maze

Roll on fire
Higher and higher
Living in a fever dream
Feeling that fire walk with me

Roll on fire
Higher and higher
Living in a fever dream
Feeling that fire walk
Burning up every thought
Feeling that fire walk with me

Let's Rock (stylized with single quotation marks) is the ninth studio album by American rock duo the Black Keys. It was released on June 28, 2019, through Easy Eye Sound/Nonesuch Records.

It was their first release since Turn Blue (2014), marking the longest gap between studio albums in their career. After collaborating with producer Danger Mouse for their previous four records, the duo decided to self-produce Let's Rock and to eschew keyboards in favor of a basic recording approach of guitar, drums, and vocals. Drummer Patrick Carney called the album "an homage to electric guitar".

Let's Rock was preceded by the singles "Lo/Hi", "Eagle Birds", and "Go". "Lo/Hi" topped Billboard's Mainstream Rock, Adult Alternative Songs, Rock Airplay, and Alternative Songs charts in the US simultaneously, making it the first song ever to do so.
Performed By: The Black Keys
Genre(s): Garage rock, blues rock
Producer(s): Dan Auerbach, Patrick Carney
