Phantom Planet
Demon Daughters
[Verse 1]
Here come the swooping hawks
Down blocks we've all forgotten
Clutching old friends in their talons
Down from the sky
To the way back of his mind
To pick it clean, to leave nothing behind
[Verse 2]
They go from high school to high class
To higher than highnesses
They're casting spells
Can't you tell we're helpless?
Hard to recover
For the dusty antique lover
But for one thing, there is always another
[Chorus]
Demon daughter, they're all partners
Heads together, summon their fathers
And all Hell's fury, judge and jury
You better hurry, get him off his back
[Verse 3]
All the red, red eyes are up in the sky
And the figures they belong to
Are preparing to dive
Yeah, they were fast as the speed of light
Whistling by me
And they took him down
It was ever so gently
[Chorus]
Demon daughters, so hot and bothered
Burning irons don't get much hotter
It boils up his head all over his bed
You better hurry, get him off his back
[Bridge]
I found him under
A mountain of blankets
And he was shaking
It's what they fostered
A child, a monster
His head looked crooked
Then shook and shattered
You bastards!
You hatched her!
You hatched her!
[Chorus]
So, they have finally broken that pumping organ
Playing old numbers on it again
Something dark and true
We all can sing to, I know the chorus
Now my brain's turned black!
[Outro]
Demon daughters!
Demon! Daughters!
(All the red, red eyes are up in the sky)
Demon daughters!
(And the figures they belong to are preparing to dive)
Demon! Daughters!
(All the red, red eyes are up in the sky
Swooping hawks, down blocks we've all forgotten)
Demon daughters!
(And the figures they belong to are preparing to dive
Clutching old friends in their talons)
Back from whence you came!
