Roland Lyrics by Interpol

Turn on the Bright Lights

2000

[Intro]
Shhhh
C'mon, c'mon
Hey

[Verse]
My best friend's a butcher, he has sixteen knives
He carries them all over the town at least he tries
Oh look, it stopped snowing
My best friend's from Poland and, um, he has a beard
But they caught him with his case in a public place
That is what we had feared

[Chorus]
He severed segments and secretly liked that
He always took the time to speak with me, I liked him for that
He severed segments and secretly liked that
(What is this a throwaway? What is this a throwaway?)
He always took the time
He always took the time

[Break]
C'mon now, pussycat

[Verse]
My best friend's a butcher, he has sixteen knives
He carries them all over the town at least he tries
Oh look, it stopped snowing
And my best friend's from Poland and, um, he has a beard
But they caught him with his case in a public place
That is what he had feared

[Chorus]
He severed segments and secretly liked that
He always took the time to speak with me and I liked him for that
He severed segments and secretly liked that
(What is this a throwaway? What is this a throwaway?)
He was growing on me
(What is this a throwaway? What is this a throwaway?)
(What is this a throwaway? What is this a throwaway?)
He was growing on me
(What is this a throwaway? What is this a throwaway?)
(What is this a throwaway? What is this a throwaway?)

[Outro]
Alright
Yeah
Ah
Yeah
Yeah, that's the one
