Their City Lyrics
We hide
As sidelocks crawl diseased
Ever shopping, hopping free as
The engines hum
The suns are a breeze
We rise, into skies punctured with stones
She steals us through a dark that's bush
A (?), he's one of ours
As they sleep
Their city's awake and wired
Their city's awake and wired
We're raking inside, aching
The stakes are ready to take me for a ride
Their city's awake and wired
Their city's awake and wired
We're raking inside, aching
The stakes are ready to take me for a ride
Am I (?)
Find it thick enough to drive
Marianne, last touch, 5:45
The highway's already alive
With the khakis teaming with caffeine
To coax the curse across the screen
The nervous tick-tocking machine
As they sleep
Their city's awake and wired
Their city's awake and wired
We're raking inside, aching
The stakes are waiting to take me for a ride
Their city's awake and wired
Their city's awake and wired
We're raking inside, aching
The stakes are waiting to take me for a ride
Uh uh uh uh, all the lights go green
Lord Legless and my sacred rose queen
Uh uh uh uh oh, my Marianne, tell your old man
Uh uh uh uh oh, my Marianne, tell your old man
We're nothing serious
From lower heights to sea cliff estates
Sped past the finest
You gave no chase
We're product haste
(Their city)
Of mission griefs
(Their city)
She'll freeze our tits off
(This city's awake)
Or bake her beats
(Their city's awake, rolled back to pose)
You're a roll of smoke
(You killed the beams)
I nearly spoke
(Marianne)
I'm half his age
(I'm half the man)
Tell your old man
We're nothing serious
Their city's awake and wired
Their city's awake and wired
We're raking inside, aching
The stakes are waiting to take me for a ride
As sidelocks crawl diseased
Ever shopping, hopping free as
The engines hum
The suns are a breeze
We rise, into skies punctured with stones
She steals us through a dark that's bush
A (?), he's one of ours
Their city's awake and wired
Their city's awake and wired
We're raking inside, aching
The stakes are ready to take me for a ride
Their city's awake and wired
We're raking inside, aching
The stakes are ready to take me for a ride
Find it thick enough to drive
Marianne, last touch, 5:45
The highway's already alive
With the khakis teaming with caffeine
To coax the curse across the screen
The nervous tick-tocking machine
Their city's awake and wired
Their city's awake and wired
We're raking inside, aching
The stakes are waiting to take me for a ride
Their city's awake and wired
We're raking inside, aching
The stakes are waiting to take me for a ride
Lord Legless and my sacred rose queen
Uh uh uh uh oh, my Marianne, tell your old man
Uh uh uh uh oh, my Marianne, tell your old man
We're nothing serious
Sped past the finest
You gave no chase
We're product haste
(Their city)
Of mission griefs
(Their city)
She'll freeze our tits off
(This city's awake)
Or bake her beats
(Their city's awake, rolled back to pose)

Tell your old man
We're nothing serious
Their city's awake and wired
We're raking inside, aching
The stakes are waiting to take me for a ride

Nothing, with the INCREDIBLE amount of errors in these posted lyrics! Whoever posted this clearly doesn't know much about The Matches or he/she would know "LORD LEGLESS and my sacred rose queen" from many of Shawn Harris' posts and his artwork of Lord Legless. This is shameful.
Here are all the lyrics. They were posted a while ago somewhere on one of The Matches' sites. Hope this helps! This is one of my VERY favorite songs, and it pained me. LOL
We hide As sidewalks crawl. diseased, Ever shopping, hopping fleas as The engines hum The sun’s reprise. We rise, into skies punctured with stars She steers us through her Dogpatch bars A barback nods---he’s one of ours
As they sleep Their city's awake and wide Their city's awake and wide We're aching inside, aching Mistakes are waiting to take me for a ride
Their city's awake and wide Their city's awake and wide We're aching inside, aching Mistakes are waiting to take me for a ride
My blood, finally thick enough to drive Marianne, last touch, 5:45 The highway's already alive With the khakis teaming with caffeine To coax the cursor ’cross the screen The nervous tick-tocking machine
Their city's awake and wide Their city's awake and wide We're aching inside, aching Mistakes are waiting to take me for a ride
Uh uh uh uh, all the lights go green For me, Lord Legless, and my sacred rose queen Uh uh uh uh oh, my Marianne, tell your old man Uh uh uh uh oh, my Marianne, tell your old man We're nothing serious
From Lower Haight to sea cliff estates Sped past the finest You gave no chase We‘re proud to feast (Their city) On Mission grease, (Their city) We’ll freeze our tits off (This city's awake) On Baker Beach (Their city's awake) rolled back to park You rolled a smoke (You killed the beams) I nearly spoke (Marianne) I'm half his age (I'm half the man) Tell your old man We're nothing serious
Their city's awake and wide Their city's awake and wide We're aching inside, aching Mistakes are waiting to take me for a ride
not one of their best songs i dont think, however the intro is fucking awesome
lmfao wow, these lyrics are horrible.
I mean horribly wrong.
i agree with biffy_hayley. i dont think this is one of their best songs. i love when they say "aching," though. and the guitar is really good in this song...as usual. love the guitar solo at the end.
