After Dark
Le Tigre
The easy, fast & fun way to learn how to sing: 30DaySinger.com
I got your name and number, you seem kinda surprised. Maybe it's 'cause I can be, you know, like cold as ice. In crowded situations I always want to go. And if I see you leaving, I beat you to the door. I'm gonna tell you something, you're better than fake-wild. I see the future. In it, they try to kill your style, your manner, and your motives. I've seen the way it goes. So memorize my number, that's why I got a phone. Call me after dark. I can make the sun rise daily right up from your landscape painting. I will be in the front row later when your brush becomes a mic. Maybe we could change this game forever. Shapes our breath makes in cold weather. They might say we're both crazy...I'm just glad I found you, baby. I don't want someone telling me no-oh-oh, "you're out of time" I don't mind being debated as long as you're with me tonight. I'm not gonna give up easy, we were made to cross the line. I don't want the things that we do...I don't want to let them die.
