Loyal like Syd & Nancy lyrics

Parading to the masses

We're coming so fresh to death

I've been stealing looks from shadows

You conjure with your purse

Yeah you're walking in stilettos

But your nose is bleeding out

I've been running from the devil

But the devil's on my back

I'm decreasing

Took a leave of absence from the war

If the wall is coming down

Then we got to press the pedal

Got my hands up in the air

I'm saying I can't breathe

I got my hands up in the air

I'm saying

Hey man get away from me

Yeah, hey man get away from me

Never ask for any favors

There's nothing I want from you

I've been looking for an answer

To keep me from falling through

And I'm waiting for the voice to speak 'cause I can't see

I hope we'll hear the sound eventually

I felt their claws obstruct and refuse

Refugees in the new Rome

They've locked our voices in the oven

Like Sylvia at home

My eyes are on the world

My hands anxious

To feel something real

True colors tend to glisten

And then reveal

Where's the love?

And why are we so far from love?

Chased by badges, duckin' lights

Push the dagger when it's right

Martial law, inshallah

Mi casa es tuya

Ghosting like I'm Daniel Johnston

And I'm locked up in the basement

Where Satan lies in satin tweets

And realigns his face lift

The criminals are laughing

With their empty, toothless faces

We've melted all our gold

To recommence our idol worship

We all pretend one day

We'll be the greatest of the Gatsbys

Growling mouths with rabies

And loyal like Sid & Nancy

Hey man get away from me

You pretend you got control

Hey man get away from me

Never ask for any favors

There's nothing I want from you

I've been praying for an answer

To keep me from falling through

Yeah I'm waiting for the voice to speak 'cause I can't see

We'll hear the sound eventually

We'll hear the sound

We'll hear the sound eventually
