Elder Goose Lyrics

Day one the lights fade, the music is full of bass,
She's all up in my face, I can't believe she's so close,
Feeling her grind made me lose my mind,
I'm just plain old take home material, take home material.

I keep my fingers crossed,
Hoping to find a way to show you what I'm made of,
Throw all our worries to the wind.

(I backtracked, stabbed at you,)
(Followed the tracks to a cabin filled with wooden spoons.)
(Then a shred of lead ripped my hoodie in two,)
(There’s no telling what my evil twin brother wouldn’t do.)

I wake up drenched in sweat
Wondering who I'm lying with,
What a joke there's nothing left to explore.

Find myself at the end of a bottle,
Laying in your bed hoping to find out where I'm at
(The weight can make you trip, but you won't fall down.)
It's gone away my song so long.

(Accept fresh, fresh can of broccoli,)
(I can't hate you if you're gawking.)
(Unless fresh, fresh can of broc')
(I’ll be leaning towards a centimeter short of much.)

As the sun goes down baby I'm in town
Hopin to find someone to take it all,
I know I'm right when I say go away
You get around, oh. you get around, oh.
You get around, oh, you're busy fucking everyone,
you're busy fucking everyone, Oh you're busy fucking everyone.

Find myself at the end of a bottle,
Laying in your bed hoping to find out where I'm at
(The weight can make you trip, but you won't fall down.)
It's gone away my song so long

Feeling my heart race
Drenched in sweat.
As I wonder
I'm not scared, not prepared
Lay down flat on your back
Open up girl let's play a tad,
Lets waste our time.

(Back on top, but my blocks mowed down)
(Man I’m fit)
(Yeah my stomachs never touched the ground)
(But I’m courteous)
(Still keep it real with my nerdyness)
(14th’s my birthday)
(Her's is on the 30th)
(If you were dead I bet this shit would bloom)
(Get a standing ovation from an empty room)
(Fuck your ass)
(I don’t want your cereal)
(You can get your wig split back)
(I'll be the same ol’ G.)

Day one, the lights fade, the music's full of bass, She's all up in my face, I can't believe she's so close, Feeling you grind, baby, losing my mind, I'm just plain old take home material, take home material, I keep my fingers crossed, hoping to find a way, To show you what I'm made of, ... I won't rise to the ...

I wake up, drenched in sweat, Wondering who I'm lying with, What a joke, there's nothing left to explore.

I find myself at the end of the bottle, Laying in your bed, hoping to find my ... It's gone away, my song, so long.

If the sun goes down, baby, I'm in town, Hoping to find someone to take it off, I know I'm right when I say you're awake, You get around, oh, you get around, oh, You get around, oh, you're busy fucking everyone, Busy fucking everyone, oh, you're busy fucking everyone.

I find myself at the end of the bottle, Laying in your bed, hoping to find my ... It's gone away, my song, so long.

Feeling my heart race, Drenched in sweat, As I wonder, I'm not scared, I'm not prepared, Lay down, flat on your back, Open up girl, let's play attack, Let's waste our time.

@itsonlyharry You mean the one he posted on his twitter that you obviously never read?

@DanceForMeGavin You are correct, and it was correct before someone changed it.

exactlyyy see, it takes a real fan to read the real lyrics! :)

I assumed the person who had posted the lyrics I copied and pasted had just reformatted Jon's lyrics and put Jonny's in. You don't need to be a dick about it over the internet.

lol @ Itsonlyharry, really didn't mean to come off like a dick. It wasn't my aim but if it truly offended you I will say I'm sorry. If you still feel that way, I will still be able to sleep at night; I could care less. Nonetheless, thanks for the lyrics.

I wish everyone would shut the fuck up about the lyrics and discuss the meaning. Jonny Craig sings unclear lyrics on purpose, so every listener has their own interpretation on his words, Mess' words and the band.

My Opinion

YOU didn't even discuss the song's meaning. LOL. I'll take a stab at it, but it's wrong. It's about a guy who sleeps around w/o committment. You're on your own after that 'cause I suck at deciphering lyrics:)

In the simplest form, the song is about getting drunk and having sex with random girls. For DGD songs it's always best to separate the screaming part from the clean vocals as they usually have separate meanings. But yeah, in overview, Jonny is talking about getting drunk, going out and finding girls to have sex with. The ' you're busy fucking everyone' line could be about him hitting up some old booty call and her saying that she's busy and him accusing her of being busy with someone else.

Update: the end of the first verse is "throw all our worries to the wind."

let me start by saying that im soooo glad jonny is back i the band! this song...well, i love it. its got great instumentals and i love the vocals and vocal overlaying. the lyrics are a pretty good rendering of a one night stand very good

I think the chorus is:

I find myself at the end of the bottle, Laying in your bed, hoping to find out where I am It's gone away, my song, so long.

Could be wrong, but that's what I hear.

Man it's either 'i cant hear you when you are knocking' or 'i can hate you when you are gawking' i cant tell the difference. but i think it's the 2nd one. great song anyway. Guess it's talking about a whore.

Cover art for Elder Goose lyrics by Dance Gavin Dance

let's play attack? that doesn't even make sense. Jonny is saying-

lay down flat on your back open up girl let's play a tad**

none of DGD's lyrics ever make sense, haven't you figured that out yet?
