Dragonette - Liar

Thinking about getting the first album, it definitely passed me by the first time around.
Sugary, but feels like quite an accomplished, adult album at the same time.
Plus, LOOK AT THAT FOR A COVER.


Don't stand too close to me
If you're left alone with me... uh oh.
And leave that door opened
Get someone to keep us company

Cause I've been making up a list of things I'd do to you
As we would dance on either side of the room
But it's too late, I'd never say it
Anyway, I'm taken and we're both leaving with who we came

Somewhere you're sleeping it off
But I'm wide awake
Chasing a runaway thought
So come on say it!

You could feel it too
Don't hide - You liar!
Some kind of thunder inside
Don't speak, don't breathe
Don't touch the fire
It's gonna burn us alive

I know you could feel it too
I saw you - Liar!
Standing off, run away
One look, one touch
We won't survive it
It's gonna burn us alive

But I've come to close to this
I rub myself against it, oh no!
I can't touch it but I feel it
Can't use it but I need it, Oh!

Oh no, you don't fool me
But I can keep a secret
I can read it like you wrote it all down
And I'm not looking for your love
But we would do it well
And that's the thing I can't stop thinking about

Somewhere you're sleeping it off
But I'm wide awake
Chasing a runaway thought
Just try proving me wrong
But I'll find a way to
Make you confess to it all 

I wanna wrestle with the savage creature - I can
Well think of jump up and eat you
Some covet cause it's human nature
But I'm coming to the core: Attention!
Some love is got a built-in heater
Some heat is gotta catch on fire
Put it out while you still can
You know, you play with fire...
You gonna get burn!
