When You Die - MGMT

And when I die and when I'm dead, dead and gone There'll be one child born and a world to carry on, to carry on I'm not scared of dying and I don't really care If it's peace you find in dying, well, then let the time be near If it's peace you find in dying, when dying time is here Just bundle up my coffin 'cause it's cold way down there I hear that's it's cold way down there, yeah, crazy cold way down there And when I die and when I'm gone There'll be one child born and a world to carry on, to carry on My troubles are many, they're as deep as a well I can swear there ain't no heaven but I pray there ain't no hell Swear there ain't no heaven and pray there ain't no hell But I'll never know by living, only my dying will tell Only my dying will tell, yeah, only my dying will tell And when I die and when I'm gone There'll be one child born and a world to carry on, to carry on Give me my freedom for as long as I be All I ask of living is to have no chains on me All I ask of living is to have no chains on me And all I ask of dying is to go naturally, only want to go naturally Don't want to go by the devil, don't want to go by the demon Don't want to go by Satan, don't want to die uneasy Just let me go naturally And when I die and when I'm gone There'll be one child born, there'll be one child born When I die There'll be one child born When I die There'll be one child born When I die There'll be one child born When I die There'll be one child born When I die There'll be one child born

Evil S.I.S to find a shore A beast that doesn't quiver anymore And we could crush some plants to paint my walls And I won't try to fight in the weekend wars Was I? I was too lazy to bathe Or paint or write or try to make a change Now I can shoot a gun to kill my lunch And I don't have to love or think too much Instant battle plans written on the sidewalk Mental mystics in a twisted metal car Tried to amplify the sound of light and love Christ is cursed of fathers and martyrs Might even take a knife to split a hair Or even scare the children off my lawn Giving us time to make the makeshift bombs Every mess invested was a score We couldn't use computers anymore But it's difficult to win unless you're bored And you might have to plan for the weekend wars Try to break my heart, I'll drive to Arizona It might take a hundred years to grow an arm I'll sit and listen to the sound of sand and cold Twisted diamond heart, I'm the weekend warrior My predictions are the only things I have I can amplify the sound of light and love I'm a curse and I'm a sound When I open up my mouth There's a reason I don't win I don't know how to begin I'm a curse and I'm a sound When I open up my mouth There's a reason I don't win I don't know how to begin I'm a curse and I'm a sound When I open up my mouth There's a reason I don't win I don't know how to begin I'm a curse and I'm a sound When I open up my mouth There's a reason I don't win

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 Lines when I close my eyes and just (why close one eye and try to) Aim blindly at the sun (pledge allegiance to the sun) And hear love When plastic ghosts start singing terrorizing Everyone (When plastic ghosts start terrorizing everyone) (Geometric troops aligning) (Carried up to the burial mounds) with gold It's a heavy time but your (My earthbound heart is heavy) Your rhythm makes it light (Your heartbeat keeps things light) And explode Like a violent star keeps threatening the night (With the violence forever 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 Sixty-six fifty-five red battleships Fourty earth-like planets Three holes, two tits One 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!
