Hurricane
Panic! At the Disco/Panic! At the Disco[DownVilla.Com] Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Are you worth your weight in gold?
'Cause you're behind my eyelids when I'm all alone
Hey stranger, I want ya to catch me like a cold
You and God both got the guns
When you shoot, I think I'd duck

I led the revolution in my bedroom
And I set all the zippers free

We said, "No more war, no more clothes, give me peace
Oh, kiss me"

Hey, hey
We are a hurricane
Drop our anchors in a storm
Hey
They will never be the same
A fire in a flask to keep us warm
'Cause they know, I know, that they don't look like me
Oh, they know, I know, that they don't sound like me
You'll dance to anything
You'll dance to anything

Oh I confess, I confess in a room where I'm blessed
But he didn't come and speak to me or put my heart at ease
And I believe that half the time, I am a wolf among the sheep
Gnawing at the wool over my eyes

I led the revolution in my bedroom
And I set all the zippers free
We said, "No more war
No more clothes, give me peace
Oh, kiss me"

Hey, hey
We are a hurricane
Drop our anchors in a storm
Hey
They will never be the same
A fire in a flask to keep us warm
'Cause they know, I know, that they don't look like me
Oh, they know, I know, that they don't sound like me
You'll dance to anything
You'll dance to anything
You'll dance to anything
You'll dance to anything

Fix me or conflict me
I'll take anything
Fix me or just conflict me 'cause I'll take anything

Hey, hey
We are a hurricane
Drop our anchors in a storm
Hey
They will never be the same
A fire in a flask to keep us warm
'Cause they know, I know, that they don't look like me
Oh, they know, I know, that they don't sound like me

You'll dance to anything
You'll dance to anything
