Alta Moda Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
He's an early riser
I try to catch him at play
He'll try to hide from you
He'll try to run away
My best friend, new friend
His name is Julian
Early to rise
'Cause I can talk to him
Yeah, yeah, I say light of day
He's an early riser
I try to catch him at play
He'll try to hide from you
He'll try to run away
He's my new friend, best friend
His name is Julian
We walk in the sun
So now we run to go to sleep early
To have some fun
Yeah, yeah, I say light of day
He's an early riser
I try to catch him at play
He'll try to hide from you
He'll try to run, run away
Yeah, yeah, I say light of day
He's an early riser
I try to catch him at play
He'll try to hide from you
He'll try to run away
Light of day
He's an early riser
I try to catch him at play
He'll try to hide from you
He'll try to run away, run

@MoreMedication
+steve armstrong And I found it thru Colin Farrell. Knew he was in a movie (S.W.A.T.) that was directed by the lead singer's brother. Wiki'd it and found Clark's name. Googled his siblings and found Molly. And luckily the uploader was kind enough to include her name in the tags on UTube. God I love the internet!

@@MoreMedication I liked Molly's work with Infidels, like Celebrate. Some really good music, but really underrated work.
