The King Of Limbs Lyrics
As no official lyrics have been released for Radiohead’s latest studio album, message boards and fansites have been feverishly trying to decipher Thom Yorke’s latest poesy. Using the most agreed upon verses and making some necessary alterations of my own, I offer you the complete lyrics to The King Of Limbs.
01. Bloom
Open your mouth wide
The universe will sigh
And while the ocean blooms
It’s what keeps me alive
So why does it still hurt?
Don’t blow your mind with “why”s
I’m moving out of orbit
Turning in somersaults
A giant turtle’s eyes
And jellyfish flow by
02. Morning Mr Magpie
You got some nerve coming here
You got some nerve coming here
You stole it all
Give it back
You stole it all
Give it back
Good morning Mr Magpie
How are we today?
Now you’ve stolen all the magic
And took my memory
You know you should
But you don’t
You know you should
But you don’t
Good morning Mr Magpie
How are we today?
Now you’ve stolen all the magic
Took my melody
03. Little By Little
Don’t turn nasty now
The dark’s there
The pillar of my soul
The last one out of the box
The one who broke the spell
Little by little by hook or by crook
I’m such a tease and you’re such a flirt
Once you’ve been hurt you’ve been around enough
Little by little by hook or by crook
Never living earnest, never get judged
I don’t know where it is I should look
You could want it all, the flag and pole
I’m curling with my love
The last one out of the box
The one who broke the seal
Obligations
Complications
Routines and schedules
A job that killed you
Killed you
Little by little by hook or by crook
Never living earnest, never get judged
I don’t know where it is I should look
Little by little by hook or by crook
I am such a tease, and you’re such a flirt
04. Feral
[Instrumental]
05. Lotus Flower
I would shape myself into your pocket
Invisible
Do what you want
Do what you want
I would shrink and I would disappear
I would slip into the groove
And cut me up
And cut me up
There’s an empty space inside my heart
Where the weeds take root
So now I set you free
I’ll set you free
Slowly we unfurl
As lotus flowers
Cause all I want is the moon upon a stick
Just to see what if
Just to see what is
I can’t kick your habit
Just to feed your fast-ballooning head
Listen to your heart
We will shrink and then be quiet as mice
And while the cat is away
Do what we want
Do what we want
There’s an empty space inside my heart
Where the weeds take root
So now I set you free
I’ll set you free
Cause all I want is the moon upon a stick
Just to see what if
Just to see what is
The bird that’s flown into my room
Slowly we unfurl
As lotus flowers
Cause all I want is the moon upon a stick
I dance around the pit
The darkness is beneath
I can’t kick your habit
Just to feed your fast-ballooning head
Listen to your heart
06. Codex
Sleight of hand
Jump off the end
Into a clear lake
No one around
Just dragonflies
Flying to our sides
No one gets hurt
You’ve done nothing wrong
Slide your hand
Jump off the end
The water’s clear
And innocent
The water’s clear
And innocent
07. Give Up The Ghost
Don’t hurt me
Don’t hurt me
Gather up the lost damned souls
In your arms
Gather up the pitiful
In your arms
What seems impossible
In your arms
I think I have had my fill
In your arms
I think I should give up the ghost
In your arms
08. Separator
It’s like I’ve fallen out of bed from a long and vivid dream
The sweetest flowered fruits were hanging from the trees
Falling off a giant bird that’s been carrying me
It’s like I’ve fallen out of bed from a long and vivid dream
Just exactly as I remember
Every word, every gesture
I’ve my heart in my mouth
Like I’ve fallen out of bed from a long and vivid dream
Finally I’m free of all the weight I’ve been carrying
And as that woman blows her cover
In the eye of the beholder
I’m a fish now, out of water
Falling off a giant bird that’s been carrying me
I fell open, I laid under
At the tea parlour
Lost your number
I wanna tip over
And get back under
If you think this is over, then you’re wrong
If you think this is over, then you’re wrong
If you think this is over, then you’re wrong
If you think this is over, then you’re wrong
It’s like I’ve fallen out of bed from a long and vivid dream
Finally I’m free of all the weight I’ve been carrying
When at last, you will give in
Wake me up
