Cold War Kids
Open Up to the Heavens
[Verse 1]
Secrets ain't no good
Bad guys keep on lying
I'm like Robin Hood
I've made myself an island
I'm hiding in the shade
I go dark on summer days
This is the price of my freedom
[Pre-Chorus]
Cars, boats, airplanes
I'm going insane
[Chorus]
Do you know how long I'll wait for you?
Till I'm black and blue
And do you think we all hide from the truth?
In ways, I do
[Verse 2]
No I'm not looking back no more
The past is close behind
I yelped a 5-star mole
Got me a passport and a driver
My job is laying low
A camouflage flamingo
In disguise at the border
[Pre-Chorus]
Cars, boats, airplanes
I'm going insane
[Chorus]
Do you know how long I'll wait for you?
Till I'm black and blue
And do you think we all hide from the truth?
In ways, I do
[Bridge]
Open up the heavens, we're kicking down the gate
We ask you real, real nice
Will you let us stay?
Open up the heavens, we're kicking down the gate
You smile real, real wide
And slap us in the face
[Chorus]
Do you know how long I'll wait for you?
Till I'm black and blue
And do you think we all hide from the truth?
In ways, I do
[Break]
[Chorus]
Do you know how long I'll wait for you?
Till I'm black and blue
And do you think we all hide from the truth?
In ways, I do
[Outro]
Open up the heavens, kicking down the gate
We're asking real, real nice
Will you let us stay?
Open up the heavens, kicking down the gate
You smile real, real wide
And slap us in the face
