Men for Miles Lyrics by Ought

Sun Coming Down

2015

Don't freeze up
You gotta believe
Yeah you're a good apple
Now shake it, shake it, shake it, go

It's a shame that
We would have to go there
Patiently I'll wait while you run up
If your dirt is in a jar
That's where shit is gonna grow

If I'm being honest
Who would want to live here
Fourteen clocks and
Half as many rooms
Slip off, slip off, slip off, slip off
Get lost

Your dark side
You find it
There's nothing here, boys

The monument
You climb it
And what did you see? What did you see?
What did I see? What did I see?
When I set off I found that

[Chorus x2]
There were men for miles
There were men for miles
And doesn't it just bring a tear to your eye, yeah
A tear to your eye, a tear to your eye [x3]

When it comes in around
Am I gonna be ready?
For I know who we are
Could I give it a name?
Go!

Excuse me, is there a window?
Do you have a light?
Shake it, shake it, shake it
Get down tonight

Excuse me, would you say there's a chance
Of bringing this whole fucker down?
Get down

It came with
Instructions
It's neither here nor there

The monument
You climbed it
And what do you see? What did you see?
What did I see? What did I see?
Well certainly you could say that

[Chorus x2]
There were men for miles
There were men for miles
And doesn't it just bring a tear to your eye, yeah
A tear to your eye, a tear to your eye [x4]

A tear to your eye, a tear to your eye [x4]

Get off the ground
Are you gonna be ready?
When you see who we are

When you’re looking in the eye
And you’re going to say
That’s mine punk, mine punk
When you’re looking in the sky
You think that the stars are jerking
The stars are jerking
My feet are tired
But I’m feeling ready, feeling ready
And where I go I'll say
That’s my decision, my decision

We are enflamed
For a star, it’s the same
And we are
