Emoticons Lyrics by The Wombats

Glitterbug

2015

[Verse 1]
It's tough to stay objective, baby
With your tongue abseiling down my neck
It's a bullet-proof offer and I can't accept
It's tough to maintain focus, baby
Now all my elephants are in the room
We crave the fiction when we need the truth
You need to find a different boy's heart to
[Chorus]
Chew
Chew
And all these emoticons and words
Try to make it better, but they only make it worse
[Verse 2]
It's tough to feign indifference, baby
Now I'm spending all the money I have
Trying to impress you is kinda driving me mad
And I don't blame the pressure or the vultures in the sky
I blame what happens every time we're under neon lights
We crave attention in a room with a view
You need to find a different boy's heart to
[Chorus]
Chew
Chew
And all these emoticons and words
Try to make it better, but they only make it worse
(Ooh, ooh-ooh ooh ooh, ooh, ooh-ooh ooh)
(Ooh, ooh-ooh ooh, ooh-ooh ooh, ooh-ooh ooh ooh)
And all these emoticons and words (Ooh, ooh-ooh ooh ooh, ooh, ooh-ooh ooh)
Fail to make it better, their attempts just make it worse
[Bridge]
(Ah, ah-ah ah, ah-ah ah)
And there's everything I want and nothing I can keep
(Ah, ah-ah ah, ah-ah ah)
And behind these metaphors, I want you literally
We crave the fiction when we need the truth
You need to find a different boy's heart to chew
[Chorus]
Chew
And all these emoticons and words (Ooh, ooh-ooh ooh ooh, ooh, ooh-ooh ooh)
Try to make it better, but they only make it worse (Ooh, ooh-ooh ooh, ooh-ooh ooh, ooh-ooh ooh ooh)
[Outro]
But I like it here so much I might stay
The edge of nowhere's such a beautiful place
The edge of nowhere's such a beautiful place
