Miles Away Lyrics
As the cars go by under the sun like an enemy
You wonder
You wonder
You wonder
As a spider comes and looks at you like an enemy
You wonder
You wonder
You wonder
Yeah, miles, miles away
She's hurting people in a better world
Miles, miles away
Dressed again in the hot water
You're more beautiful than ever
Looking in the car's rear-view mirror
Floor is hard, uncomforted
By the second time she wondered
She hungered, she hungers
Like a killer's wife
As the cars go by
As the cars go by
As the cras go by
Yeah, as the cars go by
Miles, miles away
She's hurting people in a better world
Miles, miles away
Dressed again in the hot water
Well you're more beautiful than ever
Looking in the car's rear-view mirror
You're more beautiful than ever
Miles, miles away
Miles, miles away
You wonder
You wonder
You wonder
As a spider comes and looks at you like an enemy
You wonder
You wonder
You wonder
Yeah, miles, miles away
She's hurting people in a better world
Miles, miles away
Dressed again in the hot water
You're more beautiful than ever
Looking in the car's rear-view mirror
Floor is hard, uncomforted
By the second time she wondered
She hungered, she hungers
Like a killer's wife
As the cars go by
As the cars go by
As the cras go by
Yeah, as the cars go by
Miles, miles away
She's hurting people in a better world
Miles, miles away
Dressed again in the hot water
Well you're more beautiful than ever
Looking in the car's rear-view mirror
You're more beautiful than ever
Miles, miles away
Miles, miles away

This song seems to me to be about some woman fleeing from the place where she killed her lover. "As the cars go by under the sun like an enemy, you wonder..." Sort of like paranoia you get when it seems like everyone knows what you did. and the whole "Miles, miles away" and "Looking in the car rear view mirror" seems like she is fleeing from somewhere. And I'm pretty sure the line "dressed again in the hot water" means she is sweating profusely. thats my best guess. any other theories?
this is probably my favourite song by this band. It was the first one i heard. My favourite line is 'you're more beautiful than ever'. don't know why. she just says it so.......loud??? dunno. it just appeals to me somehow. fuckin awesome band. it's good that she's a female too.
this was the first song I heard by them, too. absolutely great, the breathing did it for me. I was instantly in love. When I hear it I get a visual of this drop dead gorgeous woman stuck on the side of the highway, you know, car trouble. Or maybe it's off road car sex?
yeah. i love this song. spectacular.
I LOVE IT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Karen O's voice is so sexy, and this song gives me eargasms everytime I hear it. Aoh!
im with jack_i_do_love_you! this is my favourite song by yeah yeah yeahs , and 'you're more beautiful than ever' is my favourite line ! :P
Great song full of energy fantastic!
i really like this song.the firs one i heard from yeah yeah yeahs...and i think i'm going to listen them from now on
IS IT JUST ME, OR DOES THIS SOUND LIKE A DEATH FROM ABOVE 1979 SONG?
VERY DRUM&BASS ON THE CHORUS..KICK ASS SONG IN MY OPINION. ONE OF THIS BANDS BEST SONGS.
nope the song sounds NOTHING like dfa1979 good song. Love karen o she sounds so raw when shes breathing in and out. Honestly good band and i'll always love them!
