Lyric discussion by RomanCandle 

Cover art for Playhouses lyrics by TV on the Radio

because i'm so incredibly annoyed with these wrong lyrics here are the ones directly from the booklet:

Playhouses Swept away by the river now Confounded Sound it out now

Vodka cran in your hand and whose little girl are you now Oh i'd ask for this dance but i know you'd play like you don't know how What your coy smile exposes A recent memory of when we shit our bed of roses

And i know the moon above is shining down But not for our love so for who? so for who?

Beneath the cigarettes and sugar shit of alcohol breath i can taste the ocean on your tounge Remember when we sat on the sidewalk of your old block Against the wall under the stars Talking about love's meaning Well, i wasn't dreaming

I meant every word Just didn't know your demons Do you know mine, babe? Are we wasting time, babe?

Playhouses Haunted by Broken spirits Just trying to get high

Well we chose the course but The weather changed and the river froze And when it thawed it was running Backwards and dry now I suppose it's appropriate to cry now

Over wasted time And naked lies Still get wasted sometime


Anyways, this is by far one of the most straight-forward songs on the album. Yet, in my mind one of the most powerful songs, and in my opinion, one my favorites off the album.

Anyways hopefully these lyrics will bring some happiness to this page. The lyrics are amazing and now they can be enjoyed in their true form!
