Lyrics

These are the good days
to bring out your crooked fangs 
Break some skin and suck on the masses 
These are the good days
to bring out your crooked fangs 
Break some skin
and choke on the masses 

Cool it young one save it for the master 
She’ll bring you Rosé for the car ride 
Sit young buck 
Still see you have your habits 
Exhausted from the way you obsess over things
Keep stroking that ego 

Put on your face when you see them watching 
You little yo yo you’re aching all our brains 
The days go by 
Through the sea of the poor folk watching 

You picked your role
you know they know you have no shame 
Still they watch with pride

Stand up chump brace yourself for disaster 
You’ve already lost your shit
Just get up there and sell it

Put on your face when you see them watching 
You little yo yo you’re aching all our brains 
The days go by 
Through the sea of the poor folk watching 
You picked your role
you know they know you have no shame 
Still they follow you blind 

Vivi face smashed down on his pillow 
All the sirens and all the moving cars are unsettling
If you look, you’ll see,
it’s not those things that make him uneasy 
It’s the thought that she won’t come back forever
She will make it home, cradle that face in her hands my son
Into your heart I will, we’re all creatures of some shattered sun
Xandinho head wrapped up in his pillow
All the cackling voices in his ear don’t let him be
If you look, you’ll see, it’s not those things that are unsettling
It’s the thought that she won’t come back forever

She’ll make it home, cradle that face in her hands,
my son In my heart you will prove to be your fathers son

These are the days you will cherish the most

These are the days you come around here for
you come around here for

Didn’t look away, didn’t turn away from those tears of a young child
Didn’t walk away, didn’t turn away from those fears of a young child

The Empress’ eyes brilham mais, when they look in those fading 
The Empress’ eyes brilham mais when they look in those fading 
The Empress’ eyes brilham mais when they look in those fading blues 

Look in those fading blues

These are the days you will cherish the most
These are the days you come around here for

Dance to the wind chime
dance to the wind chime at your door
dance to the wind chime
dance to the wind chime at your door

Their crimes lie in the shadows of the quiet
come back and stay a while
It stays, it hurts, but please just stay,
come on you crave it anyway

Prance swinging heart, observe your mind
Let go of the precious soil
for once little guy
It’ll be there when you’re gone
Samskara is there when you’re gone 
It’ll be there when you’re gone you’re gone 
Their crimes haunting the stillness of a child,
lay down and stay a while
It stays and breaks and breaks and breaks 
Like a Picasso blue you show all your strain

Prance swinging heart, observe your mind 
Let go of the precious soil and all their little lines

It’ll be there when you’re gone
Samskara’s there when you’re gone 
It’ll be there when you’re gone
you’re gone you’re gone
It’ll be there when you’re gone
It’ll be there when you get there 
Be there when you’re gone
you’re gone you’re gone

Dance little heart, observe your mind
let go of the precious noise for once this time
It’ll be there when you’re gone
Samskara there when you’re gone
It’ll be there when you’re gone
you’re gone you’re gone
It’ll be there when you’re gone
Be there when you get there 
Be there when you’re gone
you’re gone you’re gone 

Their crimes lay in the shadows of the quiet
come back and stay a while 
Come back and stay a while

We will make it out 
Not by the skin of our teeth
The knots in our bellies will not recede 
Until we capture all the flags we see 
In our best form
in the fall of our greatest love 
On each others chest
we left it all 
Then how did we let each other 

Let each other go

Ring all the door bells
to get all the kid out in our XJ900s
Let's all be tiny kids
clinging on to the madness of each other

Let’s make a run for it now
by the skin of our teeth we’re out 
On our bellies we’ll all hide out and make out 
In our best form in the fall of their great big fort 
My head on your chest we’ll wait it out 
Then we’ll just let it all, let it all go 

Ring all the doorbells
to get all the kids out in our XJ900s 
We’re all disquiet kids
clinging on to the madness of each other 
Speak softly so no one will see us
hiding in the hedges 
Lets all be tiny kids
clinging on to the madness of each other

Get all the kids out in our XJ900s
Let’s all be tiny kids clinging on to the madness of each other 
Speak softly so no one will see us hiding in the hedges 
We’re all unsteady kids clinging on to the madness of each other 

Let’s go and hide out from the others
behind the corner of your mothers bed
And stay in her warm shiny room
and never be so worried

Let’s go and hide out from the others
behind the corner of your mother’s bed 
And live in her warm shiny room
and never be as worried as your older self

Dear little friend
Momma’s here when the lights go out
babykins sleep in peace, rest

Pray for the girl
her body is caving in
she’s escaping

The panic slits your soul
Keep letting it go 
Keep letting it go 
Steady letting it go 
Quietly letting you go

Dear little friend
Moma’s here when the lights go out
babykins

The panic slits your soul
Keep letting it go 
Keep letting it go 
Steady letting it go 
Quietly letting you go

Banged up and bruised up
By you the monster of our keep
Under moonbeams
Come home to your kin to watch us quiver in our sleep
Under moonbeams I can see the knife there shining

When I uncover my eyes
you bring sweetness
bring flowers

Tease all the girls in Santa Cruz
moonbeam stay 
Come home to your kin to wake us from our dreams 
Under moonbeams I can see the knife there shining
When I uncover my eyes you bring sweetness bring flowers 
When I uncover my eyes you bring sweetness bring flowers

As she weeps in her romantic speech 
She sings of love and losing him to her Bairro Alto 
On the steps of these mosaic stoned streets
The people laugh and they drink to their Bairro Alto 

Eu tenho saudade 
Como tenho saudade 
Cheio de saudades 
Do meu Bairro Alto
