Cover art for Houdini lyrics by Foster the People

I got the CD today, and here are a few corrections to the lyrics. Unfortunately the end of the song where he starts singing "raise up to your ability" doesn't have any lyrics listed. :/ Also, I wrote what it says in on the album lyrics, but I still kind of think when I listen to the song it sounds like he singing "gain again what they want to steal". It's hard to tell.

Rise above, gonna start the war! Oh, what you want, what you need, what'd you come here for? Well, an eye for an eye and an 'f' for fight They're taking me down as the prisoners riot

Got shackles on, my words are tied Fear can make you compromise With the lights turned up, it's hard to hide Sometimes I want to disappear

When I feel kinda bad and don't want to stress I just pass it off on ability Well you got what you want, what you never knew It's a perfect gift from me to you

Got shackles on, my words are tied Fear can make you compromise With the lights turned up, it's hard to hide Sometimes I want to disappear

(Raise up to your ability)

You gotta focus on your ability Focus on your ability Now focus on your ability Focus on your ability Then they can't get what they want to steal Can't get what they want to steal

Lyric Correction

OK I am very confused now because I thought that these were the right lyrics but now you are saying that it is this??? Also when I looked on the lyrics for helena beat they were way different than what I got from a bunch of other sites.....

:) Thumbs up!!

I just saw a live set of theirs. Acoustic style brought to us by the last 101.9 NY. I got pic with them cause there was only one exit, but they are very nice and great live should definitely get more music up!! Like I need my fix on this band. And their "catchy" music style. Doesn't sound same live. Like acoustically much better!!!
