Interpol - Not Even Jail Lyrics

I'll lay down my glasses
I'll lay down in houses
If things come alive
I'll subtract pain by ounces
Yeah, I will start painting houses
If things come alive
I promise to commit no acts of violence
Either physical or otherwise
If things come alive
I'll say it now
I'll say it now
Say it now
Oh, I'll say it now
'Cause I want it now

When personality is scar tissue
We travel south with this use
I'm subtle like a lion's cage
Such a cautious display
Remember take hold of your time here
Give some meanings to the means
To your end
Not even jail

We marshal in the days of longing
We tremble like aimless children
And went to watch the fire
And airing on the side of caution
Betrayin' all the symptoms
But girl you shake it right
I will bounce you on the lap of silence
We will free love to the beats of science
And girl you shake it right
I'll say it now

Oh, but all this to learn and your hair's so free
Can't you feel all the warmth of my sincerity?
You make motion when you cry
You're making peoples lives feel less private
And don't take time away
You need motion when you cry
We all hold hands
Can we all hold hands?
When we make new friends

I pretend like no one else
To try to control myself
I'm sort of like a lion's cage
Such a cautious display
Remember take hold of your time here
Give some meanings to the means
And to your end
Not even jail
