Top Of The World
Lounge On Fire Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
When the world is on top of me
I really like to hear the sound of your voice
When I can't sleep
I want to feel like I've just conquered the world
When the world has just conquered me
I'd really like to feel the freedom of joy
To some degree
Just give it dirty to me
Or, just give it to me
Sometimes I feel like I'm the smoke from the gun
But the gun is always pointed at me
Want to be guided by the sound of your voice
When I can't see, oh
Sometimes I feel like I'm the king of the hill
When the hill has just buried me
I'd really like to match the timbre of
Your autonomy, so
Give it to me quick and dirty or
Just give it dirty to me
Or, just give it to me, oh
Give it to me quick and dirty or
Just give it dirty to me
Hell, just give it to me
Standing in a pool of blood, I believe
That the blood is coming out of me
Taking blows to the skull and it seems that
I cannot breathe
I always thought of you as someone to love
But your love is just suffocating
And now I see that you've delivered the blows with no
Apology, so
Give it to me quick and dirty or
Just give it dirty to me
Or, just give it to me
Give it to me quick and dirty or
Just give it dirty to me
Hell, just give it to me
Sometimes I feel like I'm on top of the world
But the world is on top of me
I used to like to hear the sound of your voice
But now I'm free
I wanna feel like I just conquered the world
When the world has just conquered me
Now that I know that I can separate truth
From fantasy
Give it to me quick and dirty or
Just give it dirty to me
Or, just give it to me
Give it to me quick and dirty or
Just give it dirty to me
Hell, just give it to me
