Lyric discussion by rachel greenplastic 

Cover art for Young Liars lyrics by TV on the Radio

HEY READ THIS.! last year i sent an email to tunde from TVOTR because i was desperately seeking out the lyrics to the song. this is what he sent back:

Hi Rachel,

Glad to know you like the song.

Here are the Lyrics

Young Liars

my mast ain't so sturdy my head is at half i'm searching the clouds for the score

my lady avails herself of marked down freedom forever cashed out to no more

she put the blam in the blame bullets bearing the name of each tigress who's left you a tooth save the skins for a pelt and the rest for a belt that can't open no nothing can't open no nothing

young liars thank you for taking my hands

young liars oh thank you for taking my hands

well it's cold and it's quiet and cobblestone cold in here fucking for fear of not wanting to fear again lonely is all we are lovely so far but my heart's still a marble in an empty jelly jar

someday suppose that my curious nervousness spills into prescience clairvoyant consciousness i will be calmer than cream making maps out of your dreams

but will psychic ability clinch the nativity or simply diminish the flinch

oh young liars thank you for taking my hands

and burying them deep in the world's wet womb where no one can heed their commands

except young liars

voice string trombone pull me forward onward to the sea

take my picture soon all I will be is my disease

voice string trombone pull me forward onward to the sea

take my picture soon all I will be is my disease

........... tunde
