The Royal We

(album: Swoon - 2009)

We are ready for the siege
We are armed up to the teeth
Be careful how you live and breathe
Release whats broken underneath

How many times do you wanna die
How many ways
Do you wanna die

To feel safe again look over your shoulder
Very carefully look over your shoulder

We can laugh about it now
We hope everything works out
Be careful how you lick your wounds
Believe that change is coming soon

How many times do you wanna die
How many ways
Do you wanna die

To feel safe again look over your shoulder
Very carefully look over your shoulder

You used to do a little but a little won't fly
Right before you hit your prime
That's when we fell in love but not the first time

Can it please you still
Renaming your father's will?
Or does it make you ill
Let us bruise their knees
We will aim straight for the feed
You will be relieved
So relieved
So relieved
To the floor
It was I
Feel the sparks of the friendly fire
Misery inspires
Your throat has been cut several times before
Before
Never noticed the size of the flow
It can't be ignored
To feel safe again look over your shoulder
Carefully look over your shoulder

You said you believe but believing won't fly
Right before you hit your prime
That's when we fell in love but not the first time

And when its all over and you open your eyes
And it still wont turn on inside
And you'll be lying by a note on the floor side

The royal we [x8]
Love the royal we
