"Lake Effect Kid" lyrics

"Lake Effect Kid"

Sometimes, when I'm in Heaven
I get forgetful of the Earth, whoa
Until I hear you bickering like bugs and birds
The heat is off, gate's open, the shade is down

I got a pocket full of deadliness
Opium den mother, forget my head
At the dead-end called unsteadiness
Boxed blondes have less fun

Boomerang my head
Back to the city I grew up in
Again and again
Forever a lake effect kid

Oh, I got the skyline in my veins
Forget your night time
Summer love on a gurney with a squeaky wheel
And joke us, joke us
'Til Lakeshore Drive comes back into focus
I just wanna come back to life
Spark my crazy head to keep you warm at night

I got a pocket full of deadliness
Opium den mother, forget my head
At the dead-end called unsteadiness
Boxed blondes have less fun, fun

Boomerang my head
Back to the city I grew up in
Again and again
Forever a lake effect kid

Boomerang my head
To the city I grew up in (Back to the city I grew up in)
Again and again and again and again
Forever a lake effect kid

Boomerang my head
Back to the city I grew up in
Again and again
Forever a lake effect kid

Boomerang my head
To the city I grew up in (To the city I grew up in)
Again and again and again and again
Forever a lake effect kid

Again and again and again
And again and again

"Lake Effect Kid" was initially a demo song that appeared on "CitizensFOB", a pre-released mixtape for the band's 2008 album "Folie à Deux". The track was re-recorded as a full version for the EP.
The "lake effect" mentioned in the song is a weather phenomena in which warmer lake water evaporates in colder air above, freezes and is deposited as snow on the nearby shores. It is common in the Great Lakes region, where the band's hometown of Chicago is located.
