Bang
Rye Rye (feat. M.I.A.) Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

It's cold outside I'm looking for some cozy place
Then on the train my seat awaits
A ray of sun slips through the window
It feels so good, no trace of being low
I'm minding my own business looking at the trees
The mountains saying hi to me
But then something behind me, a door is it?
Starts banging like it's a conjugal visit
Hush, hush
Can't you see I'm in the middle of a
Rush, rush
I can barely pay attention to my
Thoughts, thoughts
In my head my brains are turning
Mush, mush
I'm getting tired of hearing all this
Bang, bang, bang, bang, bang, bang, bang
I try to close it in desperation
All people watch me in disapprobation
There's no success in my operation
The lock ain't working, it feels like damnation
A couple rows ahead a baby starts to cry
I mean I get him, 'cause so would I
Then I remember worst things have happened on the train
Like that time everybody got to see my little
Tush, hush
Can't you see I'm in the middle of a
Rush, rush
I can barely pay attention to my
Thoughts, thoughts
In my head my brains are turning
Mush, mush
I'm getting tired of hearing all this
Bang, bang, bang
All I wanted was a peaceful ride
Maybe write a song if the time felt right
I'm using my foot to hold the godamm door
But there's still an hour left and I can't take it anymore
Hush, hush
Can't you see I'm in the middle of a
Rush, rush
I can barely pay attention to my
Thoughts, thoughts
In my head my brains are turning
Mush, mush
I'm getting tired of hearing all this




Bang
Bang, bang, bang
