Unknown Mortal Orchestra II Lyrics
1.From the Sun

Isolation can put a gun in your hand
It can put a gun in your hand
It can put a gun in your hand
If you need to you can get away from the sun
You can get away from the sun
You can get away from the sun
If you need to you can get away from the sun
If you need to you can throw away the only one

I'm so tired but I can never lay down my head
I can never lay down my head
I can never lay down my head
I'm so lonely but I can never quite reach the phone
I can never quite reach the phone
I can never quite reach the phone
I'm so lonely but I can never quite reach the phone
I'm so lonely you've got to eat my popcorn all alone
Ahh yeah yeah yeah

Isolation can put a gun in your hand
It can put a gun in your hand
It can put a gun in your hand
If you need to you can get away from the sun
You can get away from the sun
You can get away from the sun
If you need to you can get away from the sun
If you need to you can throw away the only one
Yeah yeah yeah yeah


2.Swim and Sleep (Like a Shark)

I wish that I could swim and sleep like a shark does
I'd fall to the bottom and I'd hide 'til the end of time
In that sweet cool darkness
Asleep and constantly floating away

I wish that I could break and bend like the world does
I'd fall to the bottom and I'd chase all my dreams away
And I'd let you crush me
My dreams would be constantly wilting away

I wish that I could swim and sleep like a shark does
I'd fall to the bottom and I'd hide 'til the end of time
In that sweet cool darkness
Asleep and constantly floating away


3.So Good at Being in Trouble

Now that you're gone
It's been a long lonely time
It's a long sad lonely time
Rolling along
I'm in a strange state of mind
It's a strange, old state of mind
Memories they mess with my mind
Who am I to deny

She was
So good at being in trouble
So good at being in trouble
So good at being in trouble
So good at being in trouble
So good at being in trouble
So good at being in trouble
So good at being in trouble
So bad at being in love

Now that you're gone
It's been a long, lonely time
It's a long, sad, lonely time
Rolling along
I'm in a strange state of mind
It's a strange, old state of mind
Memories they mess with my mind
Who am I to deny

She was
So good at being in trouble
So good at being in trouble
So good at being in trouble
So good at being in trouble
So good at being in trouble
So good at being in trouble
So good at being in trouble
So bad at being in love

5.The Opposite of Afternoon


6.No Need for a Leader


7.Monki

He wants to give her everything she wants
All of the sins in her mind
All of her enemies fallen and cryin', yeah
All of the tear drops on her tongue

It's in her conscience
That whatever God gives
Her someone to mourn
Who cares what God is
Or hat a guitar is
Or that you were born

Monki

He wanted you

Monki

He wanted you

And when he stops saying thing you want to hear
Pull up your knickers in a mood
He wants to outclass these
Crass devotees
Deletes your picture from his phone

It's in his conscience
That musical notes give him
Someone to mourn

Who cares what God is
Or what a guitar is
Or that you were born

Monki

She wanted you

Monki

She wanted you
