Lalita Lyrics
We've got one more to go
And the last one was a mistake
I'd pour you another
But I think I heard the bottle break
On the bedroom floor
And we'll count the hours awake
'Cause I see no sense in sleeping
Only to wake up much too late
Oh, Anna Leigh, it's not that I'm scared, I've got to
Wait for the air to call you
Lalita, don't you hate these kisses?
I know that we're not in
But we're in love with everyone that is
We're talking tiny conversations
Like they're harmless
Oh, don't you know that I know it's a sin?
We've got one more to go
An the last one nearly killed me
I'm talking to the devil but
I think I heard an angel sing (la la la)
And this year has just begun
So don't count your blessings yet
Let's take a walk, but I think we'd better watch our step
Oh, Anna Leigh, lay down beside me
I'm in need of rest
I'm looking for a hand to guide me
Far away from the rest
Are we moving too fast?
Lalita, don't you hate these kisses?
I know that we're not in
But we're in love with everyone that is
I'm making tiny conversations
And though they're charmless
I'm hoping that they'll bring you back again
And the last one was a mistake
I'd pour you another
But I think I heard the bottle break
On the bedroom floor
And we'll count the hours awake
'Cause I see no sense in sleeping
Only to wake up much too late
Oh, Anna Leigh, it's not that I'm scared, I've got to
Wait for the air to call you
I know that we're not in
But we're in love with everyone that is
We're talking tiny conversations
Like they're harmless
Oh, don't you know that I know it's a sin?
An the last one nearly killed me
I'm talking to the devil but
I think I heard an angel sing (la la la)
And this year has just begun
So don't count your blessings yet
Let's take a walk, but I think we'd better watch our step
Oh, Anna Leigh, lay down beside me
I'm in need of rest
I'm looking for a hand to guide me
Far away from the rest
Are we moving too fast?
I know that we're not in
But we're in love with everyone that is
I'm making tiny conversations
And though they're charmless
I'm hoping that they'll bring you back again

Not to be a prick but I think these lyrics are more accurate
We got one more to go And the last one was a mistake I'd pour you another But it think I heard the bottle brake On your bedroom floor We'll count the hours away Cause I see no sense in sleeping Only to wake up Much too late Oh and I mean It's not that I'm scared I've got to Wait for the end to call you
Lalita Don't you hate these kisses? I know that we're not in But we're in love with everyone that is We're talking Tiny conversations Like they're harmless But you know that ain't what you sell
We got one more to go And the last one nearly killed me I'm talking to the devil but I Think I heard an angel sing La la la la And this year has just begun So don't count your blessings yet Let's take a walk But I think we better watch our steps Oh and I read "Lay down beside me I'm in need of rest I'm looking for a hand to guide me Far away from the rest Are we moving too fast?"
Lalita Don't you hate these kisses? I know that we're not in But we're in love with everyone that is I'm making Tiny compositions And though they're charming I know they'll never bring you back again
I think it's "And though they're charmless"

Maybe it's "And though they're charmers"? Since it would be obvious that "charmless" compositions wouldn't bring her back again.

In any case, I definitely agree that whatever the word, it ends with an "s" sound.

Ignore me! It's definitely "charmless".

Thanks a lot for the person who put those lyrics! I've been waiting for them for so long... Anyway, 'Lalita' is definitely my favourite track on this album, I've been loving this song for its rhythms, melodie, energy...and I love it even more now that I know its lyrics... I think it's about drinking some shots of vodka (or tequilla, whatever) ('We've got one more to go, and the last one nearly killed me' + 'I heard the bottle break') and the rest is about their 'drunk-state of mind' I take it... Anyway, GREAT SONG, definitely one of the best of 2009.
I am diggin' this songgg. Love the guitar-bit between verses.
so, this song is actually about the singer's relationship with an underage girl, hence the reference to "lolita." she was 16 or 17 when they dated, joined the band for a little while, but i'm pretty sure they broke up because stu is a douche.
Anyone else think this song is about the book Lolita by Vladimir Nabokov?? I mean the content of the story fit really well with the song..plus its nearly the same name.
