Caleb Followill since expressed regret for re-recording "California Waiting" in the faster form it appears here compared to the slower EP version. Some versions of the album include alternate versions of "Dusty" and hidden track "Talahina Sky".

Red Morning Light
Kings of Leon Lyrics
You know you could've been a wonder
Takin' your circus to the sky
You couldn't take it on the tight rope
No you had to take it on the side
You always like it undercover
Tucked in between your dirty sheets
But no one's even done nuttin' to ya
In between the hollers and the screams
And I said nah nah hey hey
Another dirty bird ain't givin' out a taste
In the black of the night till the red morning light
You got your cozy little corner
All night you're jammin' on your feet
Hangin' out just like a street sign
And put a twenty dollar trick
I hear you're blowin' like a feather
And then they rub it in your face
Oh once they've had all their fun hun
You're at the bottom of the cage
And I said nah nah hey hey
Another dirty bird ain't giving out a taste
In the black of the night till the red morning light
And I said nah nah hey hey you're givin' all your cinnamon away
That's not right
Hey hey another dirty bird ain't givin' out a taste
Uh hey keep on givin' away and givin' it away (givin' it away)
Hey hey you're givin' all your cinnamon away
Hey hey you're givin' all your cinnamon away
Ah hey hey
Another dirty bird ain't giving out a taste
In the black of the night till the red morning light
And I said nah nah hey hey you're givin' all your cinnamon away
That's not right
And I said nah nah hey hey
Another dirty bird ain't giving out a taste
In the black of the night till the red morning light
And I said nah nah hey hey you're givin' all your cinnamon away

@Gregor Eisenhorn I wouldn't calling a moron considering that he commented this 10 years ago and now he has 1.74 million subscribers ;)

now this is the Kings of Leon I know and love, look at the fucking amazing mustache! I was in a new high school when I was first shown Kings of Leon by a friend who is still my friend to this day, such a sound track to my coming of age, Joe's head, taper jean girl, red morning light, on call, charmer, classics tunes, I think they went way too commercial with their sound, I miss the dirtiness the songs and vocals had. while I'm here I wanna throw my friend some love for all the good times, he's a music producer now and has just released a banging dirty indie tune, try searching Lonely Gimmick - Grumpy Days, it's seriously one of the best new indie tracks Ive heard in a while,

This album is absolutely timeless. A genuinely great album start to finish
