Blew Out The Walls |
In a basement filled with instruments |
A couple of kids made an attempt |
To write the world’s greatest song |
Matching words with melodies |
Power cords and minor keys |
Wondering if anyone would sing along |
Well dream it big, little thunder |
Time is always on your side |
No one knows and so they wonder |
If time will pass them by |
When the rhythm and soul gets in your blood |
The bass drum pulls with a mighty tug |
And your mind starts to speculate |
From a secret hideout underground |
Is the Frankenstein we built out of sound |
Really strong enough to bear the weight |
Well drop the seats down in the bomber |
Somehow we’ll make the pieces fit |
No one knows and so they wonder |
If this is really it |
It sounded like this |
Like that |
Blew out the walls |
And the ceiling collapsed |
Filled up my head |
Was loud, it was bright |
And when everyone heard it, everybody knew |
Things were gonna be all right |
When I was still a kid, I went with my mom |
I knew every word to every song |
And we sang like we were at church |
In high school, getting crass |
Smoking long up on the grass |
Afterwards I bought myself a shirt |
For a moment the sound was madness |
Fear we might have gone inside |
But the dancing gnomes on your serape |
Brought comfort to my brain |
It sounded like this |
Like that |
It sounded like this |
Like that |
It blew out the walls |
And the ceiling collapsed |
Filled up my head |
Was loud, it was bright |
And when everyone heard it, everybody knew |
Things were gonna be all right |
Things were gonna be all right |
Things were gonna be all right |
Things were gonna be all right |
It sounded like this |
Like that |
It blew out the walls |
'Cause the bass was so fast |
Filled up my head |
Was loud, it was bright |
And when everyone heard it, everybody knew |
Things were gonna be all right |
From the dark recesses of your mind |
We got a parachute |
Gonna be all right |
Well all right |
From the dark recesses of your mind |
Got a parachute |
Gonna be all right |
From the dark recesses of your mind |
Got a parachute |
Gonna be all right |
From the dark recesses of your mind |
Got a parachute |
Gonna be all right |
From the dark recesses of your mind |
Got a parachute |
Gonna be all right |
When the mood gets heavy |
Cymbals crashin' |
Don’t know what to do |
You just keep on dancin' |
You just keep on dancin' |
You just keep on dancin' |
You just keep on dancin' |
You just keep on dancin' |
You just keep on dancin' |
You just keep on dancin' |
You just keep on dancin' |
You just keep on dancin' |
