FOSTER THE PEOPLE

Torches (LP 2011), "pump up kicks". FOSTER THE PEOPLE.



Robert's got a quick hand.
He'll look around the room,
he won't tell you his plan.
He's got a rolled cigarette,
hanging out his mouth
he's a cowboy kid.

Yeah he found a six-shooter gun.
In his dad's closet hidden in a box of fun things,
and I don't even know what.
But he's coming for you,
yeah he's coming for you.

 
[Chorus x2:]
All the other kids with the pumped up kicks
You'd better run, better run, outrun my gun
All the other kids with the pumped up kicks
You'd better run, better run, faster than my bullet

 
Daddy works a long day.
He'll be coming home late,
yeah he's coming home late.
And he's bringing me a surprise.
'Cause dinner's in the kitchen and it's packed in ice.

 
I've waited for a long time.
Yeah the sleight of my hand
is now a quick pull trigger,
I reason with my cigarette,
And say your hair's on fire,
you must have lost your wits, yeah.

 
[Chorus x2:]
All the other kids with the pumped up kicks
You'd better run, better run, outrun my gun
All the other kids with the pumped up kicks
You'd better run, better run, faster than my bullet

 
[Whistling]


[Chorus x3:]
All the other kids with the pumped up kicks
You'd better run, better run, outrun my gun
All the other kids with the pumped up kicks
You'd better run, better run, faster than my bullet

JUNIP

"line of fire" (EP, 2013). JUNIP.



What would you do
if it all came back to you?
Each crest of each wave
bright as lightning.

What would you say
if you had to leave today?
leave everything behind
even though for once, you're shining.

Standing on higher ground
when you hear the sounds
you realize it's just the wind.
And you notice it matters
who and what you let under your skin.

Put to the test
would you step back from the line of fire?
Hold everything back
all emotions set aside it.

Convince yourself
someone else
and fight from the world
your lack of confidence.
What you choose to believe in
takes you much too far
takes you much too far.

No one else around you
no one to understand you

no one to hear your calls.
Look through all your dark corners
you're backed up against the wall
step back from the line of fire.

What would you do
if it all came back to you?
each crest of each wave
bright as the lightning
do the same as you do
do the same as you do
do the same as you,
do the same as you.

I do the same as you,
Do the same as you
do the same as you do
What you choose to believe in
takes you much too far

No one else around you
no one to understand you
no one to hear your calls.
Look through all your dark corners
you're backed up against the wall
Step back from the line of fire x 8

Step back
Step back
Step back
