It's Blitz!

Yeah Yeah Yeahs It's Blitz! Lyrics
1.Zero

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 gonna 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 gonna 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 gonna 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?


2.Heads Will Roll

Off with your head
Dance until 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 cold

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

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

Looking glass
Take the past
Shut your eyes
You realize

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

Off with your head
Dance until you're dead
Off with your head
Dance until you're dead
Off with your head
Dance until you're dead
Off with your head
Dance until you're dead
Off with your head
Dance until you're dead
Off with your head
Dance until 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
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

5.Dull Life

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

9.Hysteric

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


10.Little Shadow

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?

Lyricist:Brian Chase, Karen Lee Orzolek, Nicholas Joseph Zinner

I, I, I, I, you
I, I, I, I, you, you

What's it going, what's it going
What's it going to get?
So long you'll never be afraid

What's it going, what's it going
What's it going to get?
So long you'll never be the same

Turn your head, look right at
None of these faces matter
These are the ones you see right through
If it's going to be at all, it's going to be with you

I, I, I, I, you
I, I, I, I, you, you

Who knows where we are?
Alive, alone
Tangled onto arms
Two arms, our own

As long as we're young
Keep you always in love
Feel you holding us up

Crying for you
