Still Sane

Lorde · Pure Heroine (Extended) [2013]

Today is my birthday and I'm riding high

Hair is dripping, hiding that I'm terrified

But this is summer, playing dumber than in fall

Everything I say falls right back into everything



I'm not in the swing of things

But what I really mean is

Not in the swing of things yet



Riding around on the bikes, we're still sane

I won't be her, tripping over onstage

Hey, it's all cool

I still like hotels, but I think that'll change

Still like hotels and my newfound fame

Hey, promise I can stay good



(Everything feels right)

I'm little, but I'm coming for the crown

I'm little, but I'm coming for you

(Chase paper, get by)

I'm little, but I'm coming for the title held by everyone who's up



All work and no play

Never made me lose it

All business all day

Keeps me up a level

All work and no play

Keeps me on the new shit, yeah



All work and no play

Let me count the bruises

All business all day

Keeps me up a level

All work and no play

Lonely on that new shit, yeah, yeah



Only bad people live to see their likeness in stone

Only bad people live to see their likeness in stone

What does that make me



I'm not in the swing of things

But what I really mean is

Not in the swing of things yet

I'm not in the swing of things

But what I really mean is

Not in the swing of things yet



All work and no play

Never made me lose it

All business all day

Keeps me up a level

All work and no play

Keeps me on the new shit, yeah
