Not even jail lyrics

Artist  : Interpol 
Song : Not even jail
 


I'll lay down my glasses

I'll lay down in houses

If things come alive

I'll subtract pain by ounces

Yeah, I will start painting houses

If things come alive

I promise to commit no acts of violence

Either physical or otherwise

If things come alive

I'll say it now

I'll say it now

Say it now

Oh I'll say it now

Cause I want it now



When personality is scar tissue

We travel south with this use

I'm subtle like a lion's cage

Such a cautious display

Remember take hold of your time here

Give some meanings to the means

To your end

Not even jail



We marshal in the days of longing

We tremble like aimless children

And wait to watch the fire

And airing on the side of caution

Betraying all the symptoms

But girl you shake it right

I will bounce you on the lap of silence

We will free love to the beats of science

And girl you shake it right

I'll say it now



Oh but all this to learn and your hair's so
free

Can't you feel all the warmth of my sincerity

You make motion when you cry

You're making peoples lives feel less private

Don't take time away

You need motion when you cry

We all hold hands

Can we all hold hands

When we make new friends



I pretend like no one else

To try to control myself

I'm sort of like a lion's cage

Such a cautious display

Remember take hold of your time here

Give some meanings to the means

To your end

Not even jail
