"Hilton" lyrics

Emilíana Torrini & The Colorist Orchestra Lyrics

"Hilton"

Hey
Who said everything
Is the way it should go?
Hey
If there is more to this
Don't you want, you know, to know?

Oh
Breathe the musty air
Thick with coffee grinds
And the thought
Of getting out of here
Imprinted in our minds

Hey
I too am bored with this
Apartment scene
And it's time
We paint the walls with leaves
Jump into some forest greens

Hey
Nothing is what it used
To be because
Oh
We're hearing traffic noise
As raging waterfalls

Yeah!
Yeah!

Tiger prowling, car horns blaring
Flies are swarming, music blasting
Neighbors fighting, father whistling
Bulls are charging, humid kitchens
Meerkats staring, aces trumping
Take out dinners, us surviving
I start smoking, online shopping
Still pretending I am working

Tiger prowling, car horns blaring
Meerkats staring, neighbours fighting
Traffic humming, water falling
Street lights glaring, flies are swarming
Music blasting, aces trumping
News reporter saying something
Leaves applauding, humid kitchens
Lion roaring, father whistling
Bulls are charging, mangroves guarding
Take out dinners, us surviving
I start smoking, online shopping
Still pretending I am working

Tiger prowling, car horns blaring
Meerkats staring, neighbours fighting
Traffic humming, water falling
Street lights glaring, flies are swarming
Music blasting, aces trumping
News reporter saying something
Leaves applauding, humid kitchens
Lion roaring, father whistling
Bulls are charging, mangroves guarding
Take out dinners, us surviving
I start smoking, online shopping
Still pretending I am working

Yeah!
Noise as raging waterfalls
Yeah!
Noise as raging waterfalls
Yeah!
Noise as raging waterfalls
Yeah!
