Belly Lyrics: King

Puberty
Covered in honey
Showered in beer
Now when you spin on your head like a monkey
I won't see you
Sing a bad love song loud in my ear
So when you spin on your head like a monkey
I won't hear you
I tame a bird to light where you live
Light on your arm and bring a wild gift

I am my mother's child
I let my fears run wild
Showered in honey
Showered in beer
Now when you spin on your hear like a monkey
I won't see you
I tame a bird to light where you live
Light on your arm and bring a wild gift

I send a light to shine on you
I send a light to shine around you
I send a light to blind you
I am the light that shines in your eyes
I am the light that blinds
I tame a bird to light where you live
Light on your arm and bring a wild gift
I tame a bird to light where you live
Light on your arm and bring a wild gift

Seal My Fate
Untame my brain
Give me a name
Hear my faith
Seal my fate
Unholy and dirty words I gathered to me
Thinking the point was keep what's mine for me
While he's laughing

Hear my faith
Seal my fate
And when you breathe, you breathe for two
And if you think you finally found the perfect light
I hope it's true

Unholy and dirty words I gathered to me
Thinking the point was keep what's mine for me
and he's laughing
On every track I fractured every back
Thinking the point was step on every crack
while he's laughing

Hear my faith
Seal my fate
Seal my fate
Seal my fate

And when you breathe, you breathe for two
And so you think you finally found the perfect light
I hope it's true
You say you saw him laughing
I hope it's true
I'd like to see it happen
I hope it's true
'Cause I can feel it
I hope it's true

Red
Red, you look tired
You look older than your mother
Where should I not touch?
What should I not kiss?
Where does it hurt?
Red, in your slumber
You look younger, so much stronger
Honey on your breath
Heaven in your head
Where does it hurt?
Redredred oh (2X)

So long in this house
It's a big one full of scarecrows, even now
So you look ahead to the edge of a
Big metal sun over sunset
Overheated (over)
Welcome home, our only son
Redredred oh (3X)

Mm mm c-come open
Mouth like Venus
Mm mm c-come over (a)
Mountain like Vesuvius
Send a rocket to Red, and he goes coo-coo (2X)
Mm mm c-come open
Mouth like Venus
Mm mm c-come over (the)
Mountain like Vesuvius
Send a rocket to Red, and he goes coo-coo (2X)
Send a rocket to Red (2X)
Redredred oh (3X)

Silverfish
Will I be the stranger in your movie
Is there a place for me in the patterns that glow on your skin and your clothes
Hold him
Hold his thin frame in your arms
When everything flows from his skin and his clothes
I'm flying so over it
Silverfish line his pocket
Silver quick he leaves
(I don't want to know about your ill-fated love affair)
Flying so over it
Flying so over your head

Hold him in your arms
When everything glows on his skin
I've been much stranger
I've watched you from afar
Now everything shows on my skin and my clothes

I'm flying so over it
Silverfish line his pocket
Silver quick he leaves
(I don't want to know about your ill-fated love affair)
Flying so over it
Flying so over your head

Silverfish line his pocket
Silver quick he leaves
Silverfish line his pocket
Silver quick he leaves
(I don't want to hear about your poorly timed rock career)
Flying so over it
Flying so over your head

Super-Connected
On your third broken window
Your hair full of glass
Throw your clothes in the hallway
Just a sheet on your back
So you're super-connected now
All the freaks gather round
And the crowd in your bedroom waits
For a piece of your personal space
Are there heartstrings connected
To the wings you've got slapped on your back?
Better climb in the window 'cause I'm closing the door

On your third broken window
With your hair full of glass
Saw your clothes in the hallway
Just a curtain on your back
I laugh
Are there heartstrings connected
To the wings you've got slapped on your back?
Better climb in a window 'cause I'm closing the door

Now I'm spinning on a dime (3X)
Like you claim to do (2X)
Right now
Like now
Are there heartstrings connected
To the poison coming out of your mouth
Are you super-connected
Are you super-connected now

I'm spinning on a dime
Throw your clothes in the hallway
And I'm closing the door

The Bees
My blessed son, you...
You've got alot to learn
So I'm your best friend
You love me and
Well I'll tell you something
We're on the road to messy

Now the bees behind my eyes sing "beware"
But my bee-stung tongue wants in there
Beware beware
Beware of me
If your heart is not on my side (3X)
You're not on my side anymore

I steal a piece of your diary
I don't think that looks like me
Am I so cold now that I'm older?
I tell you stories
That doesn't mean you know me

Now the bees behind my eyes sing "beware"
But my bee-stung tongue wants in there
So come at me with mouth open wide
And I, like a jerk, I crawl inside
Beware beware
Beware of me
If your heart is not on my side (3X)
You're not on my side anymore

King
Little bird
I won't prey on you
I won't prey on you this time
I'm your faith
I'm your faith healer
I'm your faithless companion
I'm the seed that made your perfect body
When you sleep I am awake

There is a light under the ocean
Under the ocean there's things shining everywhere
There is a lightkeeper under the blanket here
Under the blanket there's things shining down here
Now I see you lay your perfect body down by me
Now we're down

Little bird
I won't prey on you
I won't prey on you this time
I'm your faith
I'm your faith healer
I'm your faithless companion
I'm the seed that made your body perfect
When you sleep I am awake
There is a light under the ocean
Under the ocean there's things shining everywhere
There is a lightkeeper under the blanket here
Under the blanket there's things shining everywhere
You light the ocean from behind
I'll show you mine
I'll show you
Baby I can't fake it
I'd like to see you naked
I'd like to see you take it
I'd like to see you naked
Naked... (4X)

Now They'll Sleep
Now, I've lost the plot
I'm not the hero I could be
But not the dog I was
Kind of common cry
Kind of common living lie

Color my fast fading heart
People laugh at anything
And things just fall apart
Kind of common cry
Kind of common living lie
You know the shape my breath will take before I let it out
Stand like you did when I was beauty-marked in your eyes
Now they'll sleep all right

Now eyes burn circles in the dark
And when the mirror talks to me
I listen with my heart
Kind of common cry
Kind of common living lie
You know the shape my breath will take before I let it out
Stand like you did when I was beauty-marked in your eyes
Now they'll sleep all right

You know the shape my breath will take before I let it out
Stand like you did when I was beauty-marked in your eyes
You know the shape my breath will take before I let it out
Stand like you did when I was beauty-marked in your eyes (2X)
Kind of common cry (4X)
Untitled and Unsung
I want you soft in the middle
I see a strange and furious face
I know your heart

I want your pearly hand in my hair
We make a strange and furious pair
I want you locked in the middle
I know your heart (2X)
It's just like mine was
So you wanna know why I can't sleep
You wanna know why I can't sleep (2X)
Unless I got a bellyfull of wine
You show up in time for a bad time
Unless I got a bellyfull of wine
You show up and the world is wild

I want your pearly little hand in my hair
We make a strange and furious pair
I want you pearly on the inside
I know your heart (2X)
It's just like mine was

So you wanna know why I can't sleep at night
You wanna know why I can't sleep at night
You wanna know why I can't sleep
Unless I got a bellyfull of wine
You show up in time for a bad time
Unless I got a bellyfull of wine
You show up in tails for a bad time
Unless I got my belly full of wine
I'm drunk and the world is wild

You got it
Heaven in your hand
You got it (2X)
Heaven in your hand

L'il Ennio
I wasn't there
But I heard there were flowers in his hair
Though not yet born to her,
I know there was something magic about the way she held her own
I know it's hard for the young ones
I know it
Acutely, I heard ya

Race me through this heart-broken town
Bang your boots and keep your head down
Race me through the heart of this broken town

I use the voices of sandmen
To bring you home
I know it's wrong, you're a young one
I know it
Acutely, I hear ya

Race me through this heart-broken town
Bang your boots and keep your head down
Race me through the heart of this broken town

So now I make you pray down
Now I make you pray down
Now I make you pray like there's a God

I know it's hard for the young ones
I know it
So now I make you pray down
Now I make you pray down
Now I make you pray like there's a God
So you see it my way
See it my way (2X)

Judas My Heart
Where I live
There's a blanket of gauze and it covers the scars
Of the drunks who are hungry as ever
Where I live
There's a blanket of sighs and it covers the stars
In my heart, I'm as hungry as ever
This is the room where we met
Where I live
There's a lady who walks everywhere on her hands
Doesn't trust where her feet want to take her
Where I live
Theres this lady who walks everywhere on her hands
She don't trust where her feet want to take her
Not in here
This is the room where we met
Not in here
This is the dress I had on
This is not the moment you fear
When you wake up and no one is there
Low hangs the moon inside this room (2X)
So that I'm a witness when you Judas my heart
Judas my heart

Where I live
There's a blanket of sighs and it covers the stars
In my heart, I'm as hungry as ever
Where I live
I'm afraid that I walk everywhere on my hands
I don't trust where my feet want to take me
Not in here
This is the room where we met
Not in here
This is the dress I had on
This is not the moment I fear
I say "I" 'stead of "she" now you're here

Low hangs the moon inside this room (2X)
So that I'm a witness when you Judas my heart
Judas my heart (3X)

Can I get a witness when you Judas my heart again? (3X)
Where I live there's a lady who walks everywhere on her hands just like me
Doesn't trust where her feet want to take her again
And her feet want to take her again
She loves me
Yeah, yeah, yeah
