Life in Technicolor ii Lyrics
[Instrumental Intro]
[Verse 1]
There's a wild wind blowin' down the corner of my street
Every night there the headlights are glowin'
There's a cold war comin', on the radio I heard
Baby, it's a violent world
[Chorus]
Oh, love, don't let me go
Won't you take me where the streetlights glow?
I can hear it comin', I can hear the siren sound
Now my feet won't touch the ground
[Verse 2]
Time came creepin', oh, and time's a loaded gun
Every road is a ray of light
It goes on, time only can lead you on
Still it's such a beautiful night
[Chorus]
Oh, love, don't let me go
Won't you take me where the streetlights glow?
I can hear it comin' like a serenade of sound
Now my feet won't touch the ground
[Verse 1]
There's a wild wind blowin' down the corner of my street
Every night there the headlights are glowin'
There's a cold war comin', on the radio I heard
Baby, it's a violent world
[Chorus]
Oh, love, don't let me go
Won't you take me where the streetlights glow?
I can hear it comin', I can hear the siren sound
Now my feet won't touch the ground
[Verse 2]
Time came creepin', oh, and time's a loaded gun
Every road is a ray of light
It goes on, time only can lead you on
Still it's such a beautiful night
[Chorus]
Oh, love, don't let me go
Won't you take me where the streetlights glow?
I can hear it comin' like a serenade of sound
Now my feet won't touch the ground
[Bridge]
Oh-oh, oh
Oh-oh, oh
Oh-oh
[Outro]
Gravity, release me, and don't ever hold me down
Now my feet won't touch the ground
Oh-oh, oh
Oh-oh, oh
Oh-oh
[Outro]
Gravity, release me, and don't ever hold me down
Now my feet won't touch the ground
About
Genius Annotation
“Life in Technicolor” was originally written as the opening track for Viva la Vida or Death and All His Friends, but the band stripped it down to an instrumental after someone commented that it made “an obvious single.” The full version eventually found its way to the Prospekt’s March EP and, ironically enough, was released as the EP’s only single (the Osaka Sun Mix of “Lovers in Japan,” while technically on the EP, was released as a Viva la Vida single)
