Mosquito

Yeah Yeah Yeahs Mosquito Lyrics
1.Slave

It eats your soul
Like tears, you fall
My slave
You steal, you heed the call
My slave
The keys, the keys are gone
My slave
You keep me beating on

You keep me, you keep me, your slave
You keep me, you keep me, your slave

On my own
You keep me, you keep me
On the throne
Heads down all day


Come feed on your love


2.These Paths

These paths will cross
Again, again
These pants rubbed off
Against, against

Take your seat on the tip
Of the star that you sit
Take your piece, take a sip
Or you'll starve from that shit

Take your piece of that star
Take your piece of it, kid
Take your piece or you'll starve
Take your piece, take it, kid


Paths, paths, paths, paths


3.Area 52

Message came from outer space
Future of the human race
Help is not gonna hide its face
Let it go, shed your skin
Children will never sleep again

I wanna be your passenger
Take me as your prisoner
I want to be an alien
Take me please, oh alien
I wanna be an alien
Take me

Your instruments can't stop our ships
Soon you'll be up in it
Rest will all be blown to bits
Let it go, have your day
Space will take your kids away


You must taste our violent fuzz
Your wars are of no use to us
You cannot fix what never was
Let it go, have your day
The media is on its way


4.Buried Alive


I dreamt...
I was buried alive

Prognostic figure of speech to manifesto
Dr. Octagon move in the dark though
Multiply darkness, I'm the bright artist
Hologram image on the interface
Manage the code to bury them alive
Manage the code to bury them inside
Show smoke from the smoke machine
Lights on the top flash purple and green
Purple and mean, rise with the vampires
Look over skies from a high-rise
Doc Oc operate by the clock
Medicine bag come down by your block
Raise the dead, hypnotize with your head
Chemical react surgery to your head
Eyeballs up all night turn red


Turn red...


5.Always


Forget the time, forever mine
Impossibility is possible to me
To me and you, we'll see it through


Forget the time, forever mine
Impossibility is possible to me
To me and you, we'll see it through


6.Despair

Don't despair, you're there
From beginning to middle to end
Don't despair, you're there
Through my wasted days
You're there through my wasted nights

Oh despair, you've always been there
You were there through my wasted years
Through all my lonely fears, no tears
Run through my fingers, tears
They're stinging my eyes, no tears
If it's all in my head there's nothing to fear
Nothing to fear inside

Through the darkness and the light
Some sun has got to rise
My sun is your sun
Your sun is our sun

Oh despair, you were there through my wasted days
You're there through my wasted nights
You're there through my wasted years
You're there through my wasted life

You've always been there
You were there through my wasted years
Through all of my lonely fears
Run through my fingers, tears
They're stinging my eyes, no tears
We're all on the edge, there's nothing to fear
Nothing to fear inside

Through the darkness and the light
Some sun has got to rise

My sun is your sun
Your sun is our sun


7.Wedding Song

With every breath I breathe
I'm making history
With your name on my lips
The ages fall to bits

In flames I sleep soundly
With angels around me
I lay at your feet
You're the breath that I breathe

Some kind of violent bliss
Led me to love like this
One thousand deaths my dear
I'm dying without you here

In flames I sleep soundly
With angels around me
I lay at your feet
You're the breath that I breathe

You're the breath that I breathe
The breath that I breathe
The breath that I breathe
You're the breath that I breathe


8.Sacrilege

Falling for a guy
Fell down from the sky

Halo
'Round its head

Feathers in our bed
In our bed
In our bed

Falling for a guy
Fell down from the sky

Halo
'Round its head

Feathers in our bed
In our bed
In our bed

It's sacrilege, sacrilege, sacrilege you say
It's sacrilege, sacrilege, sacrilege you say
It's sacrilege, sacrilege, sacrilege you say
It's sacrilege, sacrilege, sacrilege you say

Asked if I will try
To leave this all behind

Halo
'Round its head

Burnin' in our bed
In our bed
In our bed

It's sacrilege, sacrilege, sacrilege you say
It's sacrilege, sacrilege, sacrilege you say
It's sacrilege, sacrilege, sacrilege you say
It's sacrilege, sacrilege, sacrilege you say

And I breathe and I pray
And I breathe and I pray
And I breathe and I pray
And I breathe and I pray
And I breathe and I pray

(Choir)

And I breathe and I pray
And I breathe and I pray

It's sacrilege, sacrilege, sacrilege you say
It's sacrilege, sacrilege, sacrilege you say
It's sacrilege, sacrilege, sacrilege you say
It's sacrilege, sacrilege, sacrilege you say
It's sacrilege, sacrilege, sacrilege you say
It's sacrilege, sacrilege, sacrilege you say
It's sacrilege, sacrilege, sacrilege you say
It's sacrilege, sacrilege, sacrilege you say
It's sacrilege, sacrilege, sacrilege you say
It's sacrilege, sacrilege, sacrilege you say


9.Subway

I lost you on the subway car
Got caught without my metro card
I waited and I waited for the express train
Wanna catch up to you wherever you are
I'm waiting and I'm waiting
I'm waiting and I'm waiting
I'm waiting and I'm waiting
I'm waiting and I'm waiting
And it was hot
And when it stopped

It was metal on the mental
It was somethin' in my heart
It was metal on the mental
It was somethin' in my heart

Got on the train and I took a seat
Thought why are these people all watching me
Caught my reflection in the subway car
Thought look at you whoever you are
I'm waiting and I'm waiting
I'm waiting and I'm waiting
I'm waiting and I'm waiting
I'm waiting and I'm waiting
And it was cool
And when it stopped

It was metal on the mental
It was somethin' in my heart
Metal on the mental
It was somethin' in my heart

Well I got I got I got I got
Got off got off on you
Well I got I got I got
Got off got off got off on you
Well I got got off I got
Got off got off got off on you
I got I got I got
Got off got off got off on you

It was metal on the mental
It was somethin' in my heart
It was metal on the mental
Some somethin' in my heart


10.Mosquito

Mosquito, mosquito, mosquito

Mosquito sing
Mosquito cry
Mosquito live
Mosquito die
Mosquito drink
Almost anything
Whatever's left
Mosquito screams

I'll suck your blood
I'll suck your blood
I'll suck your blood
Suck your, suck your, suck your blood
Suck your blood
I'll suck your blood
I'll suck your blood
Suck your, suck your, suck your blood

Mosquito sing
Mosquito cry
Mosquito live
Mosquito die
Mosquito land
On your neck
Mosquito drink
Whatever's left

He'll suck your blood
He'll suck your blood
He'll suck your blood
Suck your, suck your, suck your blood
Suck your blood
He'll suck your blood
He'll suck your blood
Suck your, suck your, suck your blood

They can see but it can't see them
They can see but it can't see them
So are you gonna let them in?
They're hiding underneath your bed
Crawling between your legs
Sticking it in your vein
Were you itching when they called your name?
Were you itching when they called your name?

They'll suck your blood
They'll suck your blood
They'll suck your blood
Suck your, suck your, suck your blood
Suck your blood
They'll suck your blood
They'll suck your blood
Suck your, suck your, suck your blood

Suck!


11.Under the Earth

Down, down under the earth goes another lover
Down, down under the earth goes another lover
Down, down under the earth goes another lover

Twelve times put a hex on you
Small mouths don't dare to shout out
No fun for a night out
No fun for a night out on the town

Twelve times put a hex on you
Small mouths don't dare to shout it out
No fun for a night out
No fun for a night out on the town

Run away, run away
(...) that you'll stay here
On your own, on your own you're not safe
Run away, run away
(...) that you'll stay here
On your own, on your own you're not safe

Down, down under the earth goes another lover
Down, down under the earth goes another lover
Milk you for what you're worth and call it murder
Down, down under the earth goes another lover

Twelve times put a hex on you
