Other Voices

(album: American Dream - 2017)

[James Murphy:]
Your feet touch the floor
I just open the window and let the light in
The light burns your eyes
But it eases with each passing frame
Yeah your head like a block
Stuffed with unwritten letters to some
Far away friends
Oh you'd write on your hand to remember
If someone, if someone would just, pass you a pen

These are the halls that we're presently haunting
And these are the people that we currently haunt
Push back the walls
Push back the calendar

[James Murphy:]
You're just a baby now
You're just a baby now
You're just a baby now
You're just a baby now
You're just a baby now
You're just a baby now
You should be uncomfortable
