Albatross Lyrics - What Went Down - Foals

You got an albatross around your neck, around your neck 

You got a hundred broken lightbulbs above your head 

They said that you had it coming but I wouldn't bet 

Cause you got a slowly ticking time bomb, 

And then you see red. 

Some blood, some blood 

You got an albatross around your neck, around your neck 

You got a pile of broken wishbones under your bed 

And you got a hungry green-eyed monster that you keep fed 

And it keeps on coming over, it wants you dead

NEW SONG: Blink-182 - 'Happy Days' Lyrics 

Some blood, some blood 

Oh, you burnt the lungs that your ancestors created 

You sat by the banks of the river and you waited 

Till time rolled back and the water had abated 

You drank, you share but you still could not be sated 

Quicksands of the mind and the sinkholes you may find 

When you look through the twisting of the vines, 

The twisting of the vines. 

Time comes round again, it's etching at your bones 

Chill wind comes round, it's blowing through your home 

Quicksands of the mind and the sinkholes you may find 

When you look through the twisting of the vines.

You burnt the lungs that your ancestors created 

You sat by the banks of the river and you waited 

Till time rolled back and the water had abated 

You drank, you share but you still could not be sated 

You said you're scared of the clocks that keep ticking over 

I'll find a way through a life that we're living over 

Again and again through a life that we're living over, again and again 

A life that we're living over, 

Again and again, again and again and again 

Again and again, again and again and again
