Franz Ferdinand - Always Ascending Album Lyrics

Put your ladder down
Put your ladder down
Put your ladder down

Don't be concerned
It's just the way that gravity works 'round here
All slowly rising, falling patiently
Feel no, feel no fear

Cirrus caress you
Cumulus kiss you
Raindrops of crystal
Whisper "We'll miss you"
But go
Let go

Always and always and always ascending
Opening line leaves an uncertain ending
Always and always and always ascending
The chords seem to pause

But ah never gonna resolve (never going to resolve)
Never going to resolve (never going to resolve)
Never going to resolve (never going to resolve)
Never going to resolve (never going to resolve)

Ah talk to me
Talk to me
C'mon talk to me
Talk to me
Yeah talk to me
Talk to me
Ah

And wake me up
C'mon wake me up

Waking up dry
Waking up dusty
Feeling remorse
Feeling thirsty
Bring me a cup
Bring me water

We can ascend
From this arrangement
We can see fate
As entertainment
Bring me a cup
But bring me water
Yeah, bring me water

Always and always and always ascending
The Shepard misleads so you think you're transcending
Always and always and always ascending
Pause the progression

But ah never gonna resolve (never going to resolve)
Never going to resolve (never going to resolve)
Never going to resolve (never going to resolve)
Never going to resolve (never going to resolve)

Ah talk to me
Talk to me
C'mon talk to me
Talk to me
Now talk to me
Talk to me
Ah, oh

Then wake me up
C'mon wake me up

Waking up dry
Waking up dusty
Feeling remorse
Feeling thirsty
Bring me a cup
And bring me water
Yeah, bring me water
Yeah, bring me water
Bring me water
Bring me water, yeah

Put your ladder down
Put your ladder down
Put your ladder down
Put your ladder down
Put your ladder down
Put your ladder down

Cirrus caress you
Cumulus kiss you
Raindrops of crystal
Whisper "we'll miss you"
But go
Let go

I'm a lazy boy

I'm a lazy boy

Never gettin' up in time, I enjoy
Being a lazy boy
Lying in your bed
Thinking of how a lazy boy loves you

Step out, step out of our cages
Step out, of our paper cages
Step out, step out of our cages
Out of our cages, out of our cages
Step out

I like the look of your place
Yes, I love your construction
Did you carve a wee key
From the soap in your kitchen?
To turn in a lock
Of your own penal fiction
You're so vivid and free in your imagination

Well we'll never be free
If our incarceration
Is a story we tell
A tale of invention
Is it personal choice
Personal conviction
Or are you living like me in paper cages?

Step out, step out of our cages
Step out, of our paper cages
Step out, step out of our cages
We're living our lives in paper cages
Step out

When you took on your bid
Did you make up your number?
Did you walk like a punk
To the screws at your counter?
Did you say you can't win
When you are the system
That contains in paper cages?

Step out, step out of our cages
Step out, of our paper cages
Step out, step out of our cages
We're living our lives in paper cages
Step out

Come on!

(Step out!)

Living our lives in paper cages
Living our lives in paper cages
Living our lives in paper cages
Step out

Step out, step out of our cages
Step out, of our paper cages
Step out, step out of our cages
We're living our lives in paper cages
Step out

Show me the body
These pictures will shock you
Love is a drag we don't need anymore
We don't need to score
Show me the body

Gateway not found
My wife is such a fine

The clamor of applause in every mind
But the Academy Award for good times goes to you

Show me the body, Hikikomori
Through liquid crystal we look at the world
From our parents' homes

You never realize how much eight pints are
'Til you see them on the ground
They cover so much ground
Locked up predator
Hunter gatherer
Once rare commodity
Now recently found salt, sugar and fat
There's heavy traffic
Show me the body now

Starring in the movies of our lives

And the Academy Award for good times goes to you
Yeah, the Academy Award for good times goes to you

Lois Lane seems a pretty strong woman

The kind woman that a girl could be

So you've got an HND in journalism?

Because journalism could change the world



And if you change the world

Then you could be happy

Yeah, you could be happy



Choices

You make good choices

To change our world

So you could be happy



Motivation of altruism, your selfishness

The desire for the pleasure of the reward

Of a fine young cynic

You cried



Would you rather not have a go

And change the world

Come on, come on, come on

Yeah, you could be happy

Come on, come on, come on

Yeah, you could be happy



Choices

You make good choices

To change our world

So you could be happy



Oh, he changed you

I mean I did not like him

No, I never liked him

Which made me not like you

Not like I used to do

No, we were never, no, we were never

We were never friends



So you could be happy

So you could be happy



Choices

You make good choices

That change our world

So you could be happy

Choices

You make good choices

To change our world

So you could be happy

That black velvet cap

Don't go back to high-res timelapses
And shift or pass me
Be leaves then snow into still life ripens
Stop motion, perishing
Feast of larvae explode
Blue dust shadow of mould
