LORDE - GLORY AND GORE SONG LYRICS
There's a humming in the restless summer air, And we're slipping off the course that we prepared
But in all chaos, there is calculation, dropping glasses just to hear them break
You've been drinking like the world was gonna end it didn't
Took a shiner from the fist of your best friend go figure
It's clear that someone's gotta go, We mean it but I promise we're not mean
And the cry goes out, They lose their minds for us and how it plays out, Now we're in the ring, and we're coming for blood
You could try and take us Oh! Oh! But we're the gladiators Oh! Oh! Everyone a rager Oh! Oh! But secretly they're saviors, Glory and gore go hand in hand, That's why we're making headlines Oh! Oh!
You could try and take us Oh! Oh! But victory's contagious
Delicate in every way but one the swordplay, God knows we like archaic kinds of fun the old way
Chance is the only game I play with, baby, We let our battles choose us, And the cry goes out, They lose their minds for us, and how it plays out
Now we're in the ring and we're coming for blood
You could try and take us Oh! Oh! But we're the gladiators Oh! Oh! Everyone a rager Oh! Oh! But secretly they're saviors, Glory and gore go hand in hand, That's why we're making headlines Oh! Oh!
You could try and take us Oh! Oh! But victory's contagious
No-one round here's good at keeping their eyes closed
The sun's starting to light up when we're walking home
Tired little laughs, gold-lie promises, we'll always win at this
I don't ever think about death, It's alright if you do, it's fine
We gladiate but I guess we're really fighting ourselves
Roughing up our minds so we're ready when the kill time comes, Wide awake in bed, words in my brain, Secretly you love this do you even wanna go free?
Let me in the ring, I'll show you what that big word means
You could try and take us Oh! Oh! But we're the gladiators Oh! Oh! Everyone a rager Oh! Oh! But secretly they're saviors, Glory and gore go hand in hand, That's why we're making headlines Oh! Oh!
You could try and take us Oh! Oh! But victory's contagious
