Metronome - White Hinterland

Metronome, Metronome, Metronome

Can you keep up with me

Metronome, Metronome, Metronome

Keep up with me

Don’t need you to be my metronome no more

No more

I got so empty trying to fill up my days

All day long, I’m a boss

So when I get home I wanna put my day behind me

Take my shoes off, turn the clock off

Show me some respect

Maybe then I’ll let you ride with me

Metronome, Metronome

You got to keep up with me

I’m my own metronome

Can you keep up with me

Keep up with me

Not gonna be your loyal dog

No more, no more

You might had me on my knees once

But that don’t mean

I’m here to please you

«Shame on me, shame on me»

Said the one fishing for my sympathy

Not gonna whimper or cry

Or come when you call

Or curl at your feet 'cause you told me stay

Metronome, Metronome

You got to, you got to keep up with me

You got to, you got to keep up with me

Only way to rid the rot

Is to rip out the root

So I ripped out the root

Choked by vines all night

I was pulling out weeds

I was pulling out the weeds

Only way to rid the rot

Is to rip out the root

So I ripped out the root

And got rid of you

Onus is not on me

To make you a better man

Metronome, Metronome

Can you keep up with me

Can you keep up with me

Can you keep up with me

Don’t you tell me what I need

Don’t you tell me what I need

Don’t you tell me what I need

I need freedom

What I need

I need freedom

I need freedom
