I Got Lyrics

[Verse 1]
In the night, where I live, there's
Strange force in your kiss, oh
All's divine in desire

With an ire of philosophy
Burning scrolls in the naked heat
Oh, how coy
Is your little boy—no!

[Pre-Chorus 1]
'Cause I know
It don't read that well, yeah

[Chorus 1]
I got (I got)
Buried (buried)
No, it won't be long
Before I rise in—

I got (I got)
Buried (buried)
No it won't be long, yeah...

[Verse 2]
In the night, where I live
Your children sway; they fuel the kitsch
Raise their glass to Soviet crimes
In the war and in shadows
I write in tongues of old
Fumes are falling, smelling burned
Like always
Yes, always. Now, hear!

[Pre-Chorus 2]
'Cause I know
It don't read that well
And I know
Only time will tell me

[Chorus 2]
I got (I got)
Buried (buried)
No, it won't be long
Before I rise in—

I got (I got)
Buried (buried)
No, it won't be long
Before I rise in song!

[Instrumental]

[Pre-Chorus 3]
And I know
It don't read that well, yeah!
[Chorus 3]
I got (I got)
Buried (buried)
No, it won't be long
Before I rise in—

I got (I got)
Woah, buried (buried)
But no!
'Cause I know I got you!

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 [?]
