Hey, Is That A Ninja Up There? Lyrics

[Verse 1]
We're racing through the dark on a road along the shore
And the law says we should stop so we break a couple more
With the windows all down, we just throw the cans out
And now you're laughing through the wind, swearing we won't do it again

[Chorus]
We're off too much now, the pay off sells itself
We cough too much now, but we're too young for ourselves

[Verse 2]
We're racing through the dark, down the beach by the pier
And you ran into the sea, like a cop without a fear
Your gonna ruin your shoes, your gonna ruin your shoes
And you waded through the bay, like you do it everyday

[Chorus]
We're off too much now, the pay off sells itself
We cough too much now, but we're too young for ourselves

[Bridge]
This bay's so uncertain, it's too cold but we swim, the rain could come at any moment, the gray sky's closing in
Girl just kiss me

[Verse 3]
I couldn't sleep for days, and I couldn't move, you couldn't come too soon to break me from that room, and now I sleep for days, but in a different place
[Chorus]
We're off too much now, the pay off sells itself
We cough too much now, but we're too young for ourselves

How to Format Lyrics:

  • Type out all lyrics, even repeating song parts like the chorus
  • Lyrics should be broken down into individual lines
  • Use section headers above different song parts like [Verse], [Chorus], etc.
  • Use italics (<i>lyric</i>) and bold (<b>lyric</b>) to distinguish between different vocalists in the same song part
  • If you don’t understand a lyric, use [?]

Genius Annotation

Track 5 from the band’s 2004 EP They Make Beer Commercials Like This.

The song is about the boredom of teenagers who have nothing better to do than get into trouble. The songwriter is reliving the cherished moments of being young with no responsibilities other than to just enjoy himself.

The song is musically and thematically similar to songs on the band’s debut release This Is What I Know About Being Gigantic.
