Lake Effect Kid (Demo) Lyrics

Sometimes
When I'm in heaven
I get the key for loving her, whoa oh
Until I eat big, real life poison-bloods
The heat is on
Fixed up, and the sheet is down

I got a pocket full of deadliness
Opium den mother, forget my head
At the dead-end called unsteadiness
Boxed blondes have less fun

Boomerang my head
Back to the city I grew up in
Again and again and again
Forever a lake effect kid

I got the skyline in my veins
Forget your night times
Summer love on a gurney with a squeaky wheel
And joke us, joke us,
'Til life's on track comes back into focus
I just want to come back to love
Spark until you hit it, keep you warm enough

I got a pocket full of deadliness
Opium den mother, forget my head
At the dead end called unsteadiness
Boxed blondes have less fun, fun

Boomerang my head
Back to the city I grew up in
Again and again and again
Forever a lake effect kid(X5)

Boomerang? I'm almost sure it's 'perforate' which essentially means to pierce or put a hole through. Makes sense to me.

Otherwise I love this song.

An error occured.

Nevermind. I didn't realize Pete put the lyrics up briefly in his blog. Win some you lose some I suppose. on topic: wtf is a lake effect kid.

An error occured.

i was wondering the same thing. but you know pete, he never really makes sense. haha amazing song though, i'm so fucking excited for folie a deux it scares me. (in a good way! lol)

An error occured.

this song is about being from chicago (i think). a lake effect is a meteorology term. "Back to the city i grew up in" & "the skyline in my veins" are references to chicago. the lake is lake michigan. bammmmn.

Yep, pocketofdeadliness is right on the meaning lol. Love the name :-P This song grew on me. I really like it because you can sort of tell how they're remembering their youth. It's really reminiscent and different from a lot of their stuff. I like it. XD

Lake Effect- he's referring to fireworks off of Lake Michigan and the feelings associated with it.

"Till Lake Shore Drive comes back into focus"

An error occured.

Um, I think it might be "I get the key to rule the world" but I'm not sure, I mean it is Fall Out Boy, Im amazed that the title is actually in the chrous of the song.

An error occured.

I really wanted this song to be on Folie a Deux ):

But yeah, it's definitely "Til lake shore drive comes back into focus" not "til life's on track comes back into focus".

Also, I'm not sure it's "I get the key for loving her". I'm sure he says "kid" not "key", because I definitely hear the D, but I'm not sure. And I also thought it was "until I hit it big" not "until I eat big." :/

Sometimes when I'm in heaven I get forgetful of the earth, woah Until I hear you big, real like boys and birds The heat is on Bakes up when the seat is down

I've got a pocket full of deadliness Opium den mother, forget my head At the dead-end called unsteadiness Boxed blondes have less fun

Boomerang my head Back to the city I grew up in Again and again and again Forever a lake effect kid

I got the skyline in my veins Forget your night times Summer love on a gurney with a squeaky wheel And joke us, joke us 'Til "Lake Shore Drive" goes back into focus I just want to come back to life Spark until you hit or give your woman love

I got a pocket full of deadliness Opium den mother, forget my head At the dead-end called unsteadiness Box blondes have less fun, fun

Boomerang my head Back to the city I grew up in Again and again Forever a lake effect kid

Boomerang my head Back to the city I grew up in Again and again and again Forever a lake effect kid

Boomerang my head Back to the city I grew up in Again and again and again Forever a lake effect kid

Boomerang my head Back to the city I grew up in Again and again and again Forever a lake effect kid

My Opinion

"Until I hear you big, real like boys and birds" should be "Until I hear you bickering like boys and birds."
