Song lyrics
Gold lion's gonna tell me where the light is,
Gold lion's gonna tell me where the light is,
Take our hands out of control,
Take our hands out of control

Now, tell me what you saw,
Tell me what you saw,
There was a crowd of seeds,
Inside, outside,
I must have done a dozen each

It was the height I threw, the weight,
The shell was crushing you,
I've been around a few

Tell me what you saw,
I'll tell you what to...
Ooh ooh, ooh ooh, ooh ooh, ohh ohh
Ooh ooh, ooh ooh, ooh ooh, ohh ohh

Gold lion's gonna tell me where the light is,
Gold lion's gonna tell me where the light is,
Take our hands out of control,
Take our hands out of control

Outside, Inside,
This is the moon without a tide,
We'll build a fire in your eyes,
We'll build a fire when the cover's getting brighter,
Cold desire, makes the moon without a tide

Tell me what you saw,
I'll tell you what to...
Ooh ooh, ooh ooh, ooh ooh, ohh ohh
Ooh ooh, ooh ooh, ooh ooh, ohh ohh

Ooh ooh, ooh ooh, ooh ooh, ohh ohh
Ooh ooh, ooh ooh, ooh ooh, ohh ohh

Yeah, i'm completely confused as to what the lyrics are... Isn't it "Cold desire" not "cold as I"?? w/e

Very catchy, one of my favs, and very poetic even though it's hard to understand true meanings.

yeah crazy lyrics but in a good way there is a mystery about them that really makes you think. The only thing that makes any sense to me is the whole moon without a tide. that has too be my favorite line of the song. take our hands out of control - i hate this line love karen o's voice but something about this line is just anoying.

can someone tell me what the hell this song means. i love it, but have no idea what it is about, and quite frankly, them smashing guitars in a desert is not making it very clear for me. thanks!

Although fixed now, when I first posted them, it WAS "cold desire"... however, when I was corrected, it changed to "cold as I"... glad it was changed back.

luv this song... yet another one of my favourites this year... long time no see for karen, (insert name for drummer) and the gorgeous skinny dude on the guitar... nick i think? haha.
ive just realised i have no idea wat the song means either.. 'gold lion' hmmm no explaination ha.
i think the film clip is mad, gotta love crazy karen and her lanky rubbery limbs... is she spozed to be possessed or something in this video? ive always liked yeah yeah yeahs but im loving this newly defined sound. heavy and eratic as it always was, but somewhat more sedate than 'date with a night', less bizarre than 'y control' and more dramatic then 'maps'... kinda a bit like 'pin' except somewhat heavier, fun song dude, luvs it =]
