You Lust
The Flaming Lips · The Terror [2013]
You got a lot of nerve
A lot of nerve to fuck with me
Better kill your emperor
Because you know you're just like me
You lust, you lust, you lust
(Chorus)
Lust to succeed
Lust to succeed
Lust to succeed
Lust to succeed
Lust to succeed
Lust to succeed
Lust to succeed
(Verse)
When you pull the switch on us
I don't really want to know
When you shoot the stars away
The brightest light is the first to go
You lust, you lust, you lust
(Chorus)
Lust to succeed
Lust to succeed
Lust to succeed
Lust to succeed
Lust to succeed
Lust to succeed
Lust to succeed
(Verse)
Oh, we are magnificent
The selfish I can't see itself
When it shoots across the fall
It can never be destroyed
It can never be destroyed
It can never be destroyed
(Pre-Chorus)
You got a lot of nerve
A lot of nerve to fuck with me
Better kill your emperor
Because you know you're just like me
You lust, you lust, you lust
(Chorus)
Lust to succeed
Lust to succeed
Lust to succeed
Lust to succeed
Lust to succeed
Lust to succeed
Lust to succeed
(Verse)
When you pull the switch on us
I don't really want to know
When you shoot the stars away
The brightest light is the first to go
You lust, you lust, you lust
(Chorus)
Lust to succeed
Lust to succeed
Lust to succeed
Lust to succeed
Lust to succeed
Lust to succeed
Lust to succeed
(Verse)
Oh, we are magnificent
The selfish I can't see itself
When it shoots across the fall
It can never be destroyed
It can never be destroyed
It can never be destroyed
