In Case We Die

Architecture In Helsinki In Case We Die Lyrics
1.Neverevereverdid

Just yesterday
I was walking on the moon with your stalker
And we talked about love and all the battles we'd won

A permanent malaise prevented us from hiding our fortunes
So we left them bare for all the natives to see

One of two things we could've had but never did
One of two things we could've had but never did

Slender is the finger
Points towards the floor
Offers you an excuse
To be on all fours

One of two things we could've had but never did
One of two things we could've had but never did


2.It'5!

Stranger danger
Danger stranger
When you gonna follow through

The mistake you don't make
Or the rain cloud covers above your house
Steal the feelings
Don't focus on the flame girl

Have I failed to impress you?
Could've sworn that wine
And one and four made two,
But it's five!
It's five!

Can I ride with you
Until the sunset gets all red
And we'll chased by the moon

Hope the passion don't fade
Since you decided he's your spouse.
Wheeling, dealing, joking things will change girl

Have I failed to impress you
Could've sworn that wine
And one and four made two
But it's five
It is five


3.Tiny Paintings

Tonight the neon answers flare
Occasionally we stop and stare past
Tiny paintings painted where
All the clouds were wrong

With killer stares and sideways frowns
In keeping with the universe all upside down
Twice, twice, twice
And broken legs and arms in slings
You cry secretly, but won't wear my diamond ring
Why, why, why

A billion cares, a thousand stings
We lie frequently
Choose the chapter where they start
Fights, fights fights

And millionaires have bought this town
And changed everything
I found you in a lost and found,
White, white, white


4.Wishbone

Cho-choking on a wishbone
In the firing line of lovers
Who will never slow down

And I won't let you steer
Comandere the atmosphere
Since you suggested running away
It's romantic

Hit the redial
Maybe we should sigh a while
Save our second wind for
Sentimental warm weather

Four forever
Two together
We'll play dead
We'll play dead
We'll play deadly

Should we make believe you remember me
From a holiday delayed by a storm
Should we chance our arms alarms
Set to high noon until the shiver in the river is gone

Hoping you might whistle
Get all dizzy 'cause I found the reason why you're around,
If I won't stay sincere talk you through the tangles

Can you chase me till you my feet touch the ground
And go dancing
Tambourin style walking in a single file
You whisper half thoughts to me

Should we make believe you remember me
From a holiday delayed by a storm
Should we chance our arms alarms
Set to high noon until the shiver in the river is gone


5.Maybe You Can Owe Me

Maybe you can owe me
Or should we wait and see
'Cause I've been saving up for something we need
As long as you're open to the possibility, yeah

Surely, there's a story
In counting all the minutes 'til july the first
But you counted all the seconds and it made you feel worse
I don't wanna be here
You just wanna be there
But it's awful complicated and you're warning me to beware
Beware

And honey, there's no hurry,
I know it's overdue there's a key to the door
To the room where I'm staying
You can sleep on the floor
Half way through the night can we talk and see
'Cause there's no way that I'll sleep when you're near me
There's no way that I'll sleep when you're near me
There's no way that I'll sleep when you're near me
There's no way that I'll sleep when you're near me
There's no way that I'll sleep when you're near me


6.Do The Whirlwind

She said you'd given up
Your folks told me you should be left alone
On a mountain top
Knocking the aeroplanes down with stones
Do the whirlwind and carry the hope
That stings all night long
Don't abandom him
'Cause he quivers when he hears your song

Believe me, it's safe to see
At least be confused about right and wrong
Plan to settle down
Over the moon under the sun
Do the whirlwind and shotgun the seat that beats
Hanging on to the one you love
To keep keepin', sleepin', dreamin' on

Folks given up under the quivers and lines
You do the whirlwind
Don't abandon
Get a handle of yourself, son

Folks given up under the quivers and lines
You do the whirlwind
Don't abandon
Get a handle of yourself, son...


7.In Case We Die(Parts 1-4)

I've got problems
I'm gonna use them
I'm gonna keep them from you 'til you cry

I've got machine guns
I never shoot them
I only borrowed them in case we die

Late nights, play fights
I'm freezing and you're leaving me here
Blue and red up I'm fed
You're upset almost dead, tongue twisted

Thiry-five nightmares and ninety-four days
Since i got near you and your anxious ways
Hey darling, let's steal it
I'm certain you're sure
Spell it to me love

And as we planned there's fireworks, stage right
They're swallowing the brains of all in sight
It's one a.m. that's the evening your time
We're counting sheep
Sell it to me, yell it to me, love!

Leave it while it still smolders
So I'll have to say i told you
I carved our names in a tree there
I meant the letters to be bolder, bolder
Around the angles there's a race
Where silver never gets golder
And baby when we get older
We don't have to get colder


8.The Cemetery

You don't wanna be
I don't wanna see
Baby, get your feet on the floor
Shut the door
Count to four
There's ice
On your shoulders
I don't wanna fall face down in the flood
Of the tears from the years that we loved and messed up
Let's get older.

Remember the foggy window
Remember lightning and wet clothes
Remember the house we used to live near the cemetery
The cemetery

There's a shadow on the wall and it's nine feet tall
And our hearts won't sink 'cause it's obviously nothing at all
And in a roundabout way we can disappear towards the coast
The most I have to say isn't really that revealing at all

Everyone you forgot
Everything you could need
Everybody's gonna make it to the cemetery
There's a fab
There's a yick
There's a jenny
There's a karen
There's a paul
There's a jack
There's a denny

Everyone you forgot
Everything that you need
Everybody's gonna make it to the cemetery
There's a ross
There's a neil
There's a lenny
There's an aaron
There's a saul
There's a trip
There's benny

Whoah, whoah, whoah, whoah,
Way oh, way oh
Whoah, whoah, whoah, whoah,
Way oh, way oh
Whoah, whoah, whoah, whoah,
Way oh, way oh
Do you remember

Whoah, whoah, whoah, whoah,
Way oh, way oh
Whoah, whoah, whoah, whoah,
Way oh, way oh
Whoah, whoah, whoah, whoah,
Way oh, way oh
Do you remember

Remember the foggy window
Remember lightning and wet clothes
Remember the house we used to live near the cemetery
The cemetery

There's a shadow on the wall and it's nine feet tall
And our hearts won't sink 'cause it's obviously nothing at all
And in a roundabout way we can disappear towards the coast
The most I have to say isn't really that revealing at all


9.Frenchy, I'm Faking

Frenchy, I'm faking
Been longing to stir you up
Changing looks slightly like back in the nineties
Far and away whistle delayed delights

The prospect of lightning was ever so frightening
I said your kisses are nice
But I'm looking for hills to roll
Down with abandon and no understanding

I borrowed your suitcase
And filled it with pearls and gold
You let me down lightly
I killed you politely


10.Need To Shout

There's a sword in your side
That you'll ignore until blood shows
And later on, when it's gone
When something's wrong
The violence grows and it's designed
To spy and try to poke your eyes
While laying low

Beneath the seven different reasons for satellites
Eleven different reasons for fists in fights
There's never been a reason for shouting when it's quiet
But no-ones ever listening

Seven different reasons for satellites
Eleven different reasons for fists in fights
There's never been a reason for shouting when it's quiet
But no-ones ever listening

When you need to shout
When you need to shout
When you need to shout
No-ones ever listening
When you need to shout
When you need to shout
When you need to shout
No-ones ever listening

And don't go dragging your name
Through the mud and the rain
When it dries I know some dust that wants to get in your eyes.

Put a stethoscope on
You'll notice the beat is gone
All that's left is hesitations from your previous life

Don't go dragging your name
Through the mud and the rain
When it dries I know some dust that wants to get in your eyes

Put a stethoscope on
You'll notice the beat is gone
All that's left is hesitations from your previous life


11.Rendezvous: Potrero hill

(Instrumental)


12.What's In Store?

Carve your name into my arms
'Cause I long to feel your name blood red

Leave our love life at the door
What's in store?
We don't know just yet
And that is why when we get together
There's no need to be clever

Lightning struck at eleven same as last night
We talk deeper than weather
Baseball cap with a feather
Fire engine's here to quell the blaze in our life

Sidestep neighbours full of lust
Good times rust
And the runaway's best

And when the love detector finds a spark
It's before dark when we couldn't care a less
And that is why when we get together
There's no need to be clever

Lightning struck at eleven same as last night
We talk deeper than weather
Baseball cap with a feather
Fire engine's here to quell the blaze in our life
