Cold War Kids
Flower Drum Song
[Verse 1]
Clear out the spiderwebs
In your mind
When a hint of violence
Makes you cry
Get on my speedboat
The water’s fine
The ocean calms you down
Leaves you kind

[Verse 2]
You’re no psychologist
But you know why
You get so upset
When time slips by
Face your enemy
He’s laughing while
You run circles round but you can’t hide

[Chorus]
But I’ll be the one who reaches out when you’re gone
I need the salt in the wound for another song
I’ll be the one who gets us both out of this
I tell it like it is
You call it arrogance
[Verse 3]
You’re drawn to confidence
It gets you high
But it leaves you powerless
In a trophy life
You’re no apologist
And you’d go blind
Before you ever let
Let ‘em see you cry

[Chorus]
But I'll be the one who reaches out when you're gone
I need the salt in the wound for another song
I’ll be the one who gets us both out of this
I tell it like it is
You call it arrogance

[Chorus]
But I’ll be the one who reaches out when you’re gone
I need the salt in the wound for another song
I’ll be the one who gets us both out of this
I tell it like it is
You call it arrogance

[Outro]
