Flash Delirium Lyrics MGMT
First track of the album “Congratulations” by MGMT. “Flash Delirium” was released for free download on MGMT’s official site.
Mild apprehension Blank dreams of the coming fun Distort the odds of a turnaround Gut screams out next to none So turn it on, tune it in And stay inert You say "I've got the backbone" the back way to escape the gun Climbing a tree with a missing limb And not saving anyone And now it hurts to stay at home and see flash the mirror ball's throwing mold you can't get a grip if there's nothing to hold see the flash catch a white lily laugh and wilt but if you must smash a glass first fill it to the hilt Plants, as far as i know are still, still bending toward the light and if we dance until the heart explodes it'll make this place ignite and even if this hall collapses I can stand by my pillar of hope it's just a case of Flash delirium Here's a growing culture Deep inside a corpse Ages stuck together Takin it to the source Timeless desperation Pictures on a screen scream "Hey people, what does it mean?" Comfort keeps us nice So quick to donate everything die wolken drifting blinding smiles circling (einkreisen) and time's tingling spines attaching hands to floor the rosy-tinted flash The hot dog's getting cold and you'll never be as good as the Rolling Stones watch the birds in the airport gathering dirt crowd the clean magazine chick lifting up her skirt (why close one eye and try to pledge allegiance to the sun when plastic ghosts start terrorizing everyone geometric troops aligning carried up to the burial mounds my earthbound heart is heavy your heartbeat keeps things light with the violence forever threatening the night and even if this hall collapses I can stand by my pillar of hope and trust) lines when I close my eyes and just aim blindly at the sun and hear love when the ghosts start singing terrorizing everyone geometric troops aligning carried up to the burial mounds with gold it's a heavy load but your you rhythm makes it light and explode like a violent star keeps threatening the night and even if this hall collapses I can stand by my pillar of hope and trust that our heads won't bust 66 55 red battleships 40 earthlike planets 3 holes 2 tits 1 fork in its side zero tears in their eyes sue the spiders sink the Welsh stab your facebook sell sell sell undercooked overdone mass adulation not so funny poisoned honey pseudo science silly money you're my honey
This song is amazing…
this song, this album its all amazing. MGMT made it a point to weed out the fans that only liked their catchy jingles and poppy hits, and thats exactly what they did. they did an amazing job.
How high must they have been to write this song?
this song is so good, they r just amazing, whole album is good, every song is good, really hope i can go c them live on june 20
what the f@#k r the even talking about? great song but all that is way over my head haha.
Woah. This song is awesome but it is really fast. I have no clue how the lead singer can remember all this! It’s crazy!
these lyrics are wrong. if you go on the official mgmt website, the real lyrics are:
“IT’S A HEAVY TIME BUT
YOUR RHYTHM MAKES IT LIGHT AND EXPLODE”
not:
“it’s a heavy load but your
you rhythm makes it light and explode”
Thank you MGMT you do deserve CONGRADULATIONS! Plants as far as I know are still still bending towards the light.
mer.
It seems like Ben and Andrew are trying to be less mainstream. They are? dont want to release more songs like elctric feel and kids. They try to hide the electic eel (from electric feel) in Ben, but the record labels try to pull it out of them, and create more hit singles that the “fans” (old people) want to hear. If you watch the video it makes much more sense.
