Autoheart Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
In the sun drinking rum and coca-cola
How we laugh at all the stupid metro men
They all want to be your boyfriend
Here we go, a team so formidible
They can try to separate us but they will fail
We are gold and bright and happy in the night
All you do is make it up as you go along
And you will find me
All you do is sing along with happy songs
And you will find me
Look around, the streets are paved in color
Ear to ear we're grinning like two cheshire cats
We are one, don't ever disrespect us
Take this song and dance to the beat of the drum
All you do is make it up as you go along
And you will find me
All you do is sing along with a happy song
And you will find me
You'll find, you'll find, you'll find me
We live by the pleasure principle
Blood, sweat, tears, baby don't you know
We will always have somewhere to somewhere to go
At the top of the pyramid
Any baggage you need to get rid
Blood, sweat, tears, that is all you need
It's all you need to be free
All you do is make it up as you go along
And you will find me
All you do is sing along with happy songs
And you will find me
All you do is make it up as you go along
And you will find me
All you do is think of me when things go wrong
And you will find me
You'll find, you'll find, you'll find me
