Yeah Yeah Yeahs - It's Blitz! Album Lyrics

Shake it like a ladder to the sun
Makes me feel like a madman on the run
Find me, never, never far gone
So get your leather, leather, leather on, on, on, on

Your zero
What's your name?
No one's going to ask you
Better find out where they want you to go

Try and hit the spot
Get to know it in the dark
Get to know it whether you're
Crying, crying, crying, oh, oh
Can you climb, climb, climb higher?

Shake it like a ladder to the sun
Makes me feel like a madman on the run
No you're never, never far gone
So get your leather, leather, leather on, on, on, on

Your zero
What's your name?
No one's going to ask you
Better find out where they want you to go

Try and hit the spot
Get to know it in the dark
Get to know it whether you're
Crying, crying, crying, oh, oh
Can you climb, climb, climb higher?

Was it the cure?
Shellshock!
Was it the cure?
Hope not!
Was it the cure?
Shellshock!
Was it the cure?
What's your name?

Your zero
What's your name?
No one's going to ask you
Better find out where they want you to go

Try and hit the spot
Get to know it in the dark
Get to know it whether you're
Crying, crying, crying, oh, oh
Can you climb, climb, climb higher?

Was it the cure?
Shellshock!
Was it the cure?
Hope not!
Was it the cure?
Shellshock!
Was it the cure?
Hope not!

What's your name?
What's your name?
What's your name?
What's your name?
What's your name?
What's your name?
What's your name?

Off with your head
Dance 'til you're dead
Heads will roll
Heads will roll
Heads will roll
On the floor

Glitter on the wet streets
Silver over everything
The river's all wet
You're all chrome

Dripping with alchemy
Shiver, stop shivering
The glitter's all wet
You're all chrome

The men cry out, the girls cry out
The men cry out, the girls cry out
The men cry out, oh no

The men cry out, the girls cry out
The men cry out, the girls cry out
The men cry out, oh no

Oh, ah
Oh, ah

Off, off with your head
Dance, dance 'til you're dead
Heads will roll
Heads will roll
Heads will roll
On the floor

Looking glass
Take the past
Shut your eyes
Mirror lies
Looking glass
Take the past
Shut your eyes
Mirror lies

Glitter on the wet streets
Silver over everything
The glitter's all wet
You're all chrome
You're all chrome

Oh, ah
Oh

Off, off, off with your head
Dance, dance, dance 'til you're dead
Off, off, off with your head
Dance, dance, dance 'til you're dead
Off, off, off with your head
Dance, dance, dance 'til you're dead

Off, off, off with your head
Dance, dance, dance 'til you're dead
Off, off, off with your head
Dance, dance, dance 'til you're dead
Off, off, off with your head
Dance, dance, dance 'til you're dead

You, you, oh, oh, you, you, oh, oh
Unknown, talk to unknown
Ever, lasts forever

Well, it's a sharp shock to your soft side
Summer moon, catch your shut eye
In your room, in my room
In your room, in my room

Louder, lips speak louder, better back together
Still it's a sharp shock to your soft side
Summer moon, catch your shut eye
In your room, in my room
In your room, in my room

Whats the time, Whats the day, gonna leave me
Whats the time, Whats the place, gonna leave me
Leave me out
Leave me out
Leave me out
Leave
Leave
Leave
Ah, ah
Leave

Love my name
Love left dry
Frost or flame
Skeleton me
Fall asleep
Spin the sky
Skeleton me
Wait, don't cry
Love, don't go
Love, don't cry
Skeleton me
Skeleton me

Soon comes rain
Dry your eyes
Frost or flame
Skeleton me
Fall asleep
Spin the sky
Skeleton me
Love, don't cry
Love, don't cry
Love, don't cry
Skeleton me
Skeleton me
Skeleton

One mistake in a subtle way
Like I'm walking again, all on me
Step slowly, you know that you fall between
Dark places, what a simple web we weave

We sing the nightmare of the lies that you speak
The beast that I lie beneath is coming in
We sing the nightmare of the lies that you speak
The beast that I lie beneath is coming in

Know my cell
Know my cell
Well, all hail
the prison queen
Iron bars
Iron heart
Iron bars
Everything

A hundred years old
A hundred years old

Last on the village scene
Fall apart
Iron heart
More alive than you've ever been

We sing the nightmare of the lies that you speak
The beast that I lie beneath is coming in
We sing the nightmare of the lies that you speak
The beast that I lie beneath is coming in

Well, it's a dull life
It's a dull life
It's a dull life
It's a dark place
It's a dull life
It's a dull life
It's a dull life
It's a dull life

Know my cell

We sing the nightmare of your lies
We sing the nightmare of your lies
We sing the nightmare of your lies
We sing the nightmare of your lies
We sing the nightmare of your lies
We sing the nightmare of the lies that you speak
The beast that I lie beneath is coming in
We sing the nightmare of the lies that you speak
The beast that I lie beneath is coming in

Know my cell

Shame is soft they say
Lose when I play your game
Come if you call my name
Lose when I play your game

You got an attitude
You got a way
All fortune on the floor
All fortune on the floor
All fortune on the floor
All fortune on the floor

Shame is soft they say
Lose when I play your game
All fortune on the floor
All fortune on the floor
All fortune on the floor
All fortune on the floor

I was feeling sad,
Can't help looking back
Highways flew by...
Run, run, run away
No sense of time
I'd like you to stay,
Want keep you inside

Run, run, run away
Lost, lost, lost my mind
(I'd) like you to stay
Want you to be my prize

Run, run, run away
Lost, lost, lost my mind
(I'd) like you to stay
Want you to be my prize

I was feeling sad
Can't help looking back
Highways flew by...
Run, run, run away
No sense of time
(I'd) like you to stay
Want keep you inside

All along, not so strong without these open arms
Hold on tight
All along, not that strong without these open arms
Lie beside
All along, not so strong without these open arms
Ride beside

Run, run, run away
Lost, lost, lost my mind
Like you to stay
Want you to be my prize

Run, run, run away
Lost, lost, lost my mind
Like you to stay
Want you to be my prize

My mouth you're touching
Your mouth is running
No loving for nothing
Nobody knock my body out

My mouth is blowing right off
I'm so gone
Incoming, out clubbing
Not loving, slow your body down

How are you not going to show your scar?
How are you not going to get high, high?
How are you not going to show your scar?
How are you not going to get high, high?
How are you not going to show your scar?
How are you not going to get high, high?
How are you not going to show your scar?
How are you not going to get high, high?

My mouth is touching
To your mouth is running
No loving for nothing
Nobody knock my body out

How are you not going to show your scar?
How are you not going to get high, high?
How are you not going to show your scar?
How are you not going to get high, high?
How are you not going to show your scar?
How are you not going to get high, high?
How are you not going to show your scar?
How are you not going to get high, high?

No longer, no longer
What you ask
Strange steps
Heels turn black
The cinders, the cinders
They light the path
Of these strange steps
Take us back, take us back

Flow sweetly, hang heavy
You suddenly complete me
You suddenly complete me

Flow sweetly, hang heavy
You suddenly complete me
You suddenly complete me

No wonder, no wonder
Other half
Strange steps
Heels turn black
The cinders, they splinter
And light the path
Of these strange steps
Trace us back, trace us back

Flow sweetly, hang heavy
You suddenly complete me
You suddenly complete me

Flow sweetly, hang heavy
You suddenly complete me
You suddenly complete me

Hysteric, hysteric
Hysteric, hysteric
Hysteric, hysteric
Hysteric, hysteric
Hysterical

Patience, shadow
With all your sight there's no sight to see
Little shadow, little shadow
To the night, will you follow me?
Pardon, shadow, hold on tight to your darkened key
Little shadow, little shadow
To the night, will you follow me?

Closer, shadow, volume strikes
Still we're caught between all this sorrow, little shadow
To the night, will you follow me?
Hey, shadow, stars, break of dawn
Take a turn for stars, to my fantasy
Little shadow, to the night, will you follow me?
Little shadow, to the night, will you follow me?
