"Silver Spoons" lyrics

Portugal. The Man & Lucius Lyrics

"Silver Spoons"

I was running away, now I'm running away
Oh, it's all in my brain, I know what pain is
I was slipping away, have I thrown it away
And now there's nothing to weigh, I know I'm fading

I'm just an ordinary boy
Tryna express my little feelings
I guess it's outta my control
(There's a demon in a devil town)

I was born with a silver spoon in my mouth
Hard to get along when you only think about yourself
Superstar laying on the ground, coming down
Now that daddy's gone, there's a demon in a devil town
Demon in a devil town, devil town
Standing on a rock when the system clamped down
Demon in a devil town, devil town
Been sucking on the titty of the city, now it's drying out

Drying out
D-d-d-drying out

I was running away, now I'm running away
Oh, it's all in my brain, I know what pain is
I was slipping away, have I thrown it away
And now there's nothing to weigh, I know I'm fading

But I been pissing in the wishing well
Cracking on that dirty bell
Tryna suppress my little feelings
I guess I got no self-control, uh-oh
(For a demon in a devil town)

I was born with a silver spoon in my mouth
Never get along when you only think about yourself
Superstar laying on the ground, coming down
Everybody's gone, there's a demon in a devil town
Demon in a devil town, devil town
Standing on a rock when the system clamped down
Demon in a devil town, devil town
Been sucking on the titty of the city, now it's drying out

Ah-ah-ah-ah, ah-ah-ah-ah
Ah-ah-ah-ah, ah-ah-ah-ah

I was born with a silver spoon in my mouth
Screaming at the clouds, words a river flowing, spitting out
I was born with a silver spoon in my mouth
Now that daddy's gone, it's time to bring the devil out
It's time to bring the devil out, devil out
It's time to bring the devil out, devil out
It's time to bring the devil out, devil out
No fish in the river, the river gone, drying out
It's time to bring the devil out, devil out
Standing on a rock when the system clamped down
It's time to bring the devil out, devil out
Been sucking on the titty of the city, now it's drying out

Drying out
D-d-d-drying out
Drying out
D-d-d-drying out
