owl city-Dreams Don't Turn To Dust

[Verse 1] Splash down in the silver screen Into a deep dramatic scene I swim through the theater Or maybe I'm just a dreamer Like a kite in the bright midday Wonder stole my breath away Shy sonata for Mercury The stars always sing so pretty [Chorus:] This picnic will soon depart Real life, I'm sad to see you go I'll miss you with all my heart But I'd rather be alone 'Cause I couldn't live without Sunsets that dazzle in the dusk So I'll drag the anchor up And rest assured, 'cause dreams don't turn to dust Dreams don't turn to dust! [Verse 2] I made for the countryside And my eyes never grew so wide Apple raspberry river blue I don't wanna leave without you In the sound I gladly drowned Into the emerald underground I rub my eyes 'cause it's hard to see Surrounded by all this beauty [Chorus] [Bridge:] (I'm sad to see you go) (But I'd rather be alone) When tiger eyes begin making you blush And when diamonds boast that they can't be crushed Let 'em go, 'cause dreams don't turn to dust [Chorus] Dreams don't turn to dust! Dreams don't turn to dust! And rest assured, 'cause dreams don't turn to dust!

owl city-Dental Care

I brush my teeth, and look in the mirror And laugh out loud as I'm beaming from ear to ear I'd rather pick flowers instead of fights And rather than flaunt my style I'd flash you a smile of clean pearly whites I've been to the dentist a thousand times so I know the drill I smooth my hair, sit back in the chair But somehow I still get the chills "Have a seat" he says pleasantly As he shakes my hand, and practically laughs at me "Open up nice and wide" he says peering in With a smirk he says "don't have a fit this'll just pinch a bit" As he tries not to grin When hygienists leave on long vacations That's when dentists scream and lose their patience Talking only brings the tooth aches on Because I say the stupidest things So if my resolve goes South I'll swallow my pride with an aspirin, and shut my mouth Golf and alcohol don't mix And that's why I don't drink and drive Because, good grief I'd knock out my teeth And have to kiss my smile goodbye I've been to the dentist a thousand times so I know the drill I smooth my hair, sit back in the chair But somehow I still get the chills

owl city-Designer Skyline

Affection, the gifted architect, Is making a draft and beautiful design The options and possibilities Are endless when we connect and re-align Collections of books and documents Arise and parade around my cluttered desk Reworking the math and measurements Until I'm convinced these plans are picturesque Like mountains in the Midwest Reaction creates the columns dark And wide like the roads around Fort Lauderdale The structures begin to take their shape Before I've designed the public monorail The turnpike and high-speed motorway Connect and enclose the quaint suburban streets The airport, the broad suspension bridge The lake and the beach where several rivers meet Compounded from the spreadsheet A city sparkles in the night How can it glow so bright? The neighborhoods surround the soft florescent light Designer skyline in my head Abstract and still well-read You went from numbered lines to buildings overhead

owl city-Deer In The Headlights

Met a girl in the parking lot, And all I did was say hello. Her pepper spray made it rather hard For me to walk her home, But I guess that's the way it goes. Tell me again was it love at first sight When I walked by and you caught my eye. Didn't you know love could shine this bright? Well smile because you're the deer in the headlights. Met a girl with a graceful charm, But when beauty met the beast he froze. Got the sense I was not her type By black eye and bloody nose, But I guess that's the way it goes. Tell me again was it love at first sight When I walked by and you caught my eye. Didn't you know love could shine this bright? Well smile because you're the deer in the headlights. It's suffocating to say, But the female mystique takes my breath away. So give me a smile or give me a sneer, 'Cause I'm trying to guess here. Tell me again was it love at first sight When I walked by and you caught my eye. Didn't you know love could shine this bright? I'm sorry I ever tried, deer in the headlights. Tell me again was it love at first sight When I walked by and you caught my eye. Didn't you know love could shine this bright? If life was a game, you would never play nice. If love was a beam, you'd be blind in both eyes. Put your sunglasses on 'cause you're a deer in the headlights. You're the deer in the headlights. You're the deer in the headlights.

owl city-dear vienna

I regarded the world as such a sad sight Until I viewed it in black and white Then I reviewed every frame and basic shape And sealed the exits with caution tape Don’t refocus your eyes in the darkness And don’t remember this place unless I describe all the things that you cannot see And we’ll unravel the mystery Farewell, all my friends in textbooks, I’m going home Cuz my blood cells cannot depend on the weather in photographs There’s a light show out my window somewhere way up there Dear Vienna, are you singing? Dear Vienna, are you swinging? Dear Vienna, we were happy like the shades of May when we got carried away I was so far out of place Watching those stars in outer space Cuz I am so far from where you are

owl city-cave in

Please take a long hard look Through your text book cause I'm history When I strap my helmet on I'll be long gone Cause I've been dying to leave Yeah, I'll ride the range And hide all my loose change in my bedroom Cause riding a dirt bike down a turn pike Always takes its toll on me I've had just about enough Of quote "diamonds in the rough" Because my back-bone is paper thin Get me out of this cavern or I'll cave in (I'll cave in, I'll cave in...) If the bombs go off the sun will still be shining (The sun will still be shining) Because I've heard it said that Every mushroom cloud has a silver lining (Though I'm always under mining to deep to know) Swallow a drop of gravel and blacktop Cause the road tastes like Wintergreen The wind and rain smell of oil and octane Mixed with stale gasoline I'll soak up the sound Try to sleep on the wet ground I'll get ten minutes give or take Cause I just don't foresee myself getting drowsy When cold integrity keeps me wide awake (Awake, awake, awake, awake...) Get me out of this cavern or I'll cave in (Cave in, cave in, cave in, cave in...) Get me out of this cavern or I'll cave in (Cave in, cave in, cave in, cave in...) I'll keep my helmet on Just in case my head caves in (In case my head caves in) Cause if my thoughts collapse Or my framework snaps It'll make a mess like you wouldn't believe Tie my handle bars to the stars So I stay on track (so I stay on track) And if my intentions trail I'll wrench them away Then I'll take my leave and I won't even look back I won't even look back

owl city-captains and cruise ships

I am stuck in L.A. through the week and cant get away And you're alone on the pier in West Palm Beach on your holiday Stormy nights, re-awake the stomach ache That I've acquired, from feeling down Things look grim and I'm so sick of being tired Apartment lights go dark and its depressing But what can I do? The midnight streets feel dead When I am so used to driving with you Brighter lights fill the night And bluer skys reflect in your eyes As I inspect and analyze All of these dreams I don't recognize If you're still up when the ships in the port prepare to set sail Comb the beach and put those blue flowers up in your ponytail Inside my head your voice is still resounding but what can I do? The empty rooms feel cold when I am so used to being with you Count the stars, watch the waves absorb the summer sun And think of me when you explore hidden coves And tiny island chains throughout the sea Can you still, hear my voice When I'm outside, from over the phone? For what it's worth, darling dear I wish you were here, 'cause I feel alone When you were home we'd sing But since you've left I dont hear anything Though I feel so sad I can't believe things are really that bad Old captains and brand new cruise ships Sailing over the briny sea When I crashed my beloved desk job And swim through the debris I'll cut loose leave this mad house Bound for the Atlantic blue I'll stroll down your treelined driveway And sail the ocean with you

owl city-butterfly wing

If i was a raindrop would you be my thunderstorm? It's cold so surround me With rain clouds to keep me warm I feel like I'm falling So darling don't let me go The thought is appalling but should I slip away Into the stormy sea will you remember me? Asleep in a warm cocoon We dream of lovely things We're both gonna wake up soon So we hope that tomorrow brings Us our butterfly wings If i was a grain of sand Would you be Miami Beach So dusty with starlight Close your eyes and cuddle close to me I'll try not to wake you Or make a sound while you're dozing off But in the night should the high tides sweep me away from you Tell me again my dear will you be waiting here? Whenever we leave the ground And take to the sky I'll smile as I'm gazing down Cause I've always wonder why we won't need feathers to fly

owl city-angels

Wake me if you're out there Through the glass in my bedroom window In the bushes far below I thought I saw an unfamiliar shadow Among the ones I so clearly know I was sleeping with the night light unplugged With a note on the rocking chair That says, "I've been dreaming of the life I once loved, So wake me if you're out there." Living close to the ground Is seventh Heaven cuz there are angels all around Among my frivolous thoughts I believe there are beautiful things seen by the astronauts Wake me if you're out there Wake me if you're out there In the dust on my cellar staircase A pair of footprints followed me I saw a flicker in the fake fireplace Blinked again but there was nothing to see I've been leaving all the windows unlocked With a basket by the oak tree Cuz I'll be pickin' up the acorns that fall off If you'll be climbing up to meet me Living close to the ground Is seventh Heaven cuz there are angels all around Among my frivolous thoughts I believe there are beautiful things seen by the astronauts Wake me if you're out there I keep my knees black and blue Because they often hit the hard wood floor (Wake me if you're out there) And I believe so I'm not praying to the ceiling anymore I was sleeping with the night light unplugged With a note on the rocking chair That says, "I've been dreaming of the life I once loved, So wake me if you're out there." Living close to the ground Is seventh Heaven cuz there are angels all around Among my frivolous thoughts I believe there are beautiful things seen by the astronauts The indications revealed (Wake me if you're out there) That few of us realize life is quite surreal So if you're dying to see I guarantee there are angels around your vicinity So if you're dying to see I guarantee there are angels around your vicinity Dilihat 314 kali

owl city-alligator sky

[Chorus] Where was I when the rockets came to life And carried you away into the alligator sky Even though, I'll never know what's up ahead I'm never lettin' go, I'm never lettin' go [Shawn Chrystopher - Rap Verse 1] Uh uh, that's not a plane, that's me I'm sittin' where I'm supposed to Floatin' on the cloud, can't nobody come close to The concrete and the sky switch places So now my ceiling is painted with cosmic spaces Firecracker to the moon, keep your eyes shut Blastin' off like a rocket from the ground up Heh, I used to catch a cab on the Monday Now the taxi's sellin' lights on the runway, fly Condo on the milky way A house on the cloud and God's my landlord And for my rent all I pay is my drive Got that so If you need me you can find me in the alligator sky [Chorus] Where was I when the rockets came to life And carried you away into the alligator sky Even though I'll never know what's up ahead I'm never lettin' go, I'm never lettin' go [Bridge] Roller coaster through the atmosphere I'm drowning in this starry serenade Where ecstasy becomes cavalier My imagination's taking me away Reverie whispered in my ear I'm scared to death that I'll never be afraid Roller coaster through the atmosphere My imagination's taking me away [Shawn Chrystopher - Rap Verse 2] Uh, now I'mma dance like I never dance Sing like I never sing, dream like I've never dreamed Or try to, 'cause we've been lied to That the sun is somethin' that we can't fly to Well, I sit on my star and see street lights Look up, ha, you'll miss me if you blink twice Imagination is hot and if you got it you can meet me When you see me in the alligator sky [Chorus] Where was I when the rockets came to life And carried you away into the alligator sky? Even though I'll never know what's up ahead I'm never lettin' go, I'm never lettin' go Where was I when the rockets came to life And carried you away into the alligator sky? Even though I'll never know what's up ahead I'm never lettin' go, I'm never lettin' go In the alligator sky...

owl city-air traffic

The bird is here and we are off to wherever those wings take us. The atmosphere is crawling with airlines that wind through the clouds and look down on the crowds. Relax your back and let the noise sing you to sleep in my arms. If you awake before we arrive I will carry you down and I won't make a sound. The scent is strong as we move on and breathe in the pristine crime scene. The false veneer is old like a substitute volunteer from, oh, some other year. I'm just a show as far as I can tell, so I paint my eyes a light green. The silver beams are twirling and swirling throughout your dreams like air traffic streams
