Lyrics The Naked and Famous

The Naked and Famous

Waltz

I can see you with your brothers

And your homes have been blessed

But you walk in a rubble

You walk in a mess

Looking for trouble

There’s a fox in the nest

Kick up your heels on the double

Put the mocking to rest

I am a fire if you hesitate

Bang bang hurry up

But you watch with the eyes

In the jaws of a boy

Who will never recognize his luck

I am a fire if you hesitate

Tie your laces up

But you watch with the eyes

In the jaws of a boy

Who is never gonna come unstuck

What you say undercover

In the belly of the beast

Blaze a trail at their pace

Jump up for the peak

As the words pile up

Like an accident

It's just semantics

I am a fire if you hesitate

Bang bang hurry up

But you watch with the eyes

In the jaws of a boy

Who will never recognize his luck

I am a fire if you hesitate

Tie your laces up

But you watch with the eyes

In the jaws of a boy

Who is never gonna come unstuck

This is how he sees it

This is how he works

This is how he functions

I know why it hurts

I can see him heaving

“Watch me take a word and turn it into magic”
