Where Nobody Knows Lyrics

with your hands in the air
you look like a girl at the fair with the bubbly eyes
stood and watched you pulling at a rock
but the rock don't compromise
come up to me say why are you so skinny and pretty for a boy
said thanks for the insulting compliment
you'll never forget my face no more

I can hardly reach you
and I know it's getting harder to be you
so I'll be driving you where nobody knows
in the city I could take you
it'd take a little second to break you
so I'll be driving you where nobody knows
I'll be driving you where nobody knows

looking pretty clean
sitting on a swing
I don't mean a thing at all
the hiss of my feet so barking like a pack of dogs
sipping on a cone in the stall
take it for your word
take it for a ride
take it for the evening dead or alive
warming up the car packin us some powder to play

I can hardly reach you
and I know it's getting harder to be you
so I'll be driving you where nobody knows
in the city I could take you
it would take a little second to break you
so I'll be driving you where nobody knows
I'll be driving you where nobody knows

Jessie, come

head like a stone
stone like a rock
clogging up your nose again
papa's a-searching
devil was a-knocking
juice swimming over my skin
here it goes now

With your hands in the air, you look like a girl, At the fair with the bubbly eyes. Stood and watched you, pulling out a rug, But the rug don't compromise. Come up to me and say, "Why are you so skinny and pretty for a boy?" Said, "Thanks for the insult and compliment, You’ll never forget my face no more".

I can hardly reach you, And I know it's getting harder to be you, So I'll be drivin' you where nobody knows. The city I could take you, It would take a little second to break new, So I'll be droppin' you where nobody knows. I'll be droppin' you where nobody knows.

Lookin' pretty clean, sitting on a swing, Like don't mean a thing at all. The heels of my feet 's a barkin' like a pack of dogs, Sickin' on a ‘coon in a stall. Taken for your word, taken for a ride, Taken for the evening dead or alive. Warming up the car, packin' us some powder to play.

I can hardly reach you, And I know it's getting harder to be used, So I'll be drivin' you where nobody knows. The city I could take you, It would take a little second to break new, So I'll be droppin you where nobody knows. I'll be droppin' you where nobody knows.... Jessica.

Head like a stone, stoned like a rock, Clogging up your nose again. Papa is a searchin', Devil is a knocking, Juice swimming up in my skin, here it goes now.

I think these are the lyrics:

With your hands in the air, you look like a girl, At the fair with the bubbly eyes. Stood and watched you, pulling at a rock, But the rock don't compromise. Come up to me and say, "Why are you so skinny and pretty for a boy"? Said, "Thanks for the insult and compliment, you'll never forget my face no more".

I can hardly reach you, And I know it's getting harder to be you, So I'll be drivin' you where nobody knows. The city I could take you, It would take a little second to break you, So I'll be droppin' you where nobody knows. Yeah, I'll be droppin' you where nobody knows.

Lookin' pretty clean, sitting on a swing, That don't mean a thing at all. The heels of my feet 's a barkin' like a pack of dogs, Sickin' on a crow in this hall. Taken for your word, taken for a ride, Taken for the evening dead or alive. Warming up the car, packin' us some powder to play.

I can hardly reach you, And I know it's getting harder to be you, So I'll be drivin' you where nobody knows. The city I could take you, It would take a little second to break you, So I'll be droppin you where nobody knows. Yeah, I'll be drivin' you where nobody knows....Jessica!

Head like a stone, stone like a rock, Clogging up your nose again. Papa is a searchin', Devil is a knocking, Juice swimming up my skin, here it goes now.

actually these lyrics sound better: Hands in the air you look like the girl in the flow with the bubbly eyes. stonewashed shoe pulling at a rug but the rug don't compromise, come up to me say why are you so skinny, and pretty for a boy, said thanks for the insult and compliment you'll never forget my face no more

i can't hardly reach you and i know it's getting harder to be you. so i'll be driving you where nobody knows, city adjetate you, it will take a little second to break you so i'll be driving you where nobody knows, i'll be driving you where nobody knows.

looking pretty pink sitting on a swing that dont mean a thing at all, your heads on my feets you're barking like a pack of dogs sipping like a drink in the sun, take it for your word, take it for a ride take it for a evening dead or alive, warming up the car packing up the pallet to play.

I can't hardly reach you and i know it's getting harder to be you, so i'll be driving you where nobody knows, city adjetate you, it will take a little second to break you, so i'll be driving you where nobody knows, I'll be driving you where nobody knows......... Jessica........

We like the stones, stones like a rock, clogging up your nose again, Papa is a searching, devil is a knocking two swimming up my skin, here we go now

I found them on some website that I cant remember the name of but i think they are correct

I love love love this song. Seems pretty self-explanatory.

I thought it was "skinny and pitiful, boy" and "looking pretty clean sitting on the swing"

And "packin us some powder to play" sounds a bit more realistic...could be coke or something.

These are the lyrics I really don't get, his boice is really distorted...

goldenfallinghard I think you are correct with the whole thing

I just love the way he says my name...his voice is so raw, so sexy

Cover art for Where Nobody Knows lyrics by Kings of Leon

Remind me of high school when we had to go find out of town places to drink. In this case, it's a place to do some coke......

This to me seems like hes talking about a girl he's not long met and he doesnt stop thinking about her and the things they'll do together...but i dont know that just what i picture when i hear it.

Stay cool
