Loyal Like Sid & Nancy - Foster The People

Parading to the masses, we’re coming so fresh to death

I’ve been stealing looks from shadows, you conjure with your purse

Yeah, you’re walking in stilettos but your nose is bleeding out

I’ve been running from the devil but the devil’s on my back

I’m decreasing, took a leave of absence from the war

If the wall is coming down, then we got to press the pedal

Got my hands up in the air, I’m saying I can’t breathe

I got my hands up in the air, I’m saying

Hey man, get away from me

Yeah

Hey man, get away from me

Uh

Yeah, oh

Never ask for any favors, there’s nothing I want from you

I’ve been looking for an answer to keep me from fallin' through

And I’m waiting for the voice to speak 'cause I can’t see

I hope we’ll hear the sound eventually

I felt their claws obstruct and refuse refugees in the new Rome

Lock our voices in the oven like S-Sylvia at home

My eyes are on the world

Yeah, my hands anxious to feel something real

True colors tend to glisten and then reveal

Where’s the love?

Mmm

And why are we so far from love?

Chased by badges, duckin' lights, push the dagger when it’s right

Martial law, inshallah, mi casa es tuya

Ghosting like I’m Daniel Johnston and I’m locked up in the basement

Where Satan lies in satin tweets and realigns his face lift

The criminals are laughing with their empty, toothless faces

We’ve melted all our gold to recommence our idol worship

We all pretend one day we’ll be the greatest of the Gatsbys

Growling mouths with rabies and loyal like Sid and Nancy

Hey man, get away from me

You pretend you got control

Hey man, get away from me

Never ask for any favors, there’s nothing I want from you

I’ve been praying for an answer to keep me from fallin' through

Yeah

Yeah, I’m waiting for the voice to speak 'cause I can’t see

Oh, we’ll hear the sound eventually, yeah

We’ll hear the sound, we’ll hear the sound eventually
