Dead skin peels off, new skin grows under it The night is cold but the stress stays lit The rule is the same: "you have it or you don't have it" When I seek happiness in the priceless things But uh, what're you gonna do? When the powder hits and those words won't speak for you And who are you gonna ask When you catch a ride and the Uber drives too fast? What has gone so wrong? Hey it's me again trying to figure out What has gone so wrong What has gone so wrong? I'm singing that same song Yeah, I can tell that you're cool But you can stop wasting your time On things that do you no good Cause there's no need to prove it What has gone so wrong? Hey it's me again trying to figure out What has gone so wrong, What has gone so wrong? I'm singing that same song But Uh, What're you gonna do? When the beak kicks in and those words won't speak for you? And who are you gonna ask When you catch a ride and the Uber drives too fast?

Love.mp3 03:18
Chilling in bed with you Morning comes along I ain't sad, I ain't sad no more Chilling in bed with you Morning comes along I ain't sad, I ain't sad no more When I say love, you know girl just what I mean Love, you know girl just when it's real Real, real, right away I knew It was real right away, right away Shout out to the bouncers who let me back in I barely knew her now but I had a place for her to fit in We blending, Love airtight in a soda tin Citronella smell blending with the smell of sin Love, love, love, can I get some? Love, you know girl just what I mean Love, you know girl just what I mean Love, you know girl just when it's real Real, real, right away I knew It was real right away, right away
3.
That is That 03:11
Faint until you sink and find paradise Think while your mind is still sane In the end you will realise That it's more than just death what remains Straight into the mind of a Western soul It's hard not to feel dumb or wounded But they say "it's life and life only" But I want to live "cut-off, lonely" But If you go out there searching For an explanation or a fact You might be better off saying That is that That's that
4.
Better 02:48
Better happy sometime When you're out of my mind When you're out of my mind Now I'm going to make it I feel like I leave you behind How could I predict it, I was out of my mind I abused concessions, wished to go back in time... Sometimes we must live it, so we can explain it I figured out movies if you just let me try You'll be in the charts, I'll be cooking up mine No Skype conversations though we are both online All I have to say is that I want you to be free And I'll be better Happy Sometime (you and me) When you're out of my mind When you're out of my mind Never thought that I would fall for you like this, Ye much better I recover fast, girl, now I'm like Fedex Much better Send it world wild, now I'm like Fedex 40 Ks, still the girl from the north country 12 an hour, cops want me in their family It's funny how we, suffer for no reason We suffer for no reason

Discotheque 03:45
When I look at you and your eyes are all blurry Bare me for one second while I roll you another Your country no está yendo bien Come over you and your silver words I met her at the discotheque with black and white tiles You met her on the internet changing profiles No, no, no, black and white Black and white And white The followers, they follow us The followers, they follow us I met her at the discotheque with black and white tiles You met her on the internet changing profiles

When I'm gone, far away I'm on the other side Don't let me down, think about me as "the one that always tried" I was there first There's no need to show off Uh baby, but it's something about that style Funny enough, all your excuses fell apart Have I been spooky with you? Did you get me that leopard? Are they selling good fake bank notes? Wedding rings in the thrift shop We travelling with trench coats Ryanair on the small seats I was there first There's no need to show off Uh baby, but it's something about that style Funny enough, all your excuses fell apart Something, something Something, something
7.
Why should I sing that old sailor's song? If the days when I sang it have long been gone On the days that I got home for you And what about that other sound? The one that came from deep underground So hard to kill that you still felt the subs I threw it all away Even the portraits on your corridor Yes, I gave it all away Even the statues on your mantelpiece Now you're gone I confront myself The days are long, the night stifles me I was never looking for the hard way to do things I was just a preacher knocking on a stranger's door I was just a jellyfish melting in the sun I was just a sailor waiting for a change of tide I threw it all away Even the portraits on your corridor Yeah, I gave it all away Even the statues on your mantelpiece

Bedroom RnB 03:58
I see we're playing different records Different songs We have other obsessions now I'm known Now I know, now I know Why you treat me as a stranger I'm floored It wasn't the direction, the time zone We were always strangers But the world knows best To give us separate answers Treat me creepy always Habibi says she knows me She don't know me She knows me the wrong way Is there a right way? I will be with you, writing a future We're in this together We're making progress Treat me creepy always and I'm dreaming away, I will be with you, writing a future We're in this together We're making progress

Cardholder 03:33
If I sing with you in harmony Will it break your iPad? Like an opera singer You can find me under my favourite tree Did I work till too late? Did I get the honours? Another day, I can wait for gravity to fall my way I can sleep it of still catch the train I can wait for things to fall into place Another day, I can speed it up still catch the frames I can pay by card with a smile on my face They can get my details from a different place I can look at things in a different light Why is it reflecting on me? Cardholder calling, cardholder breeding in me Just wait and you'll find out Cardholder calling, cardholder breeding in me Just wait and I'll be one If I go of sync deliberately Will it sketch an outline? Will it keep its beauty Uh, you want a cardholder now You're not even 23 I can pay the rent with what I get from a crappy melody Just wait and you'll find out Cardholder calling, cardholder breeding in me Just wait and you'll find out Cardholder calling, cardholder breeding in me Just wait and I'll be one

Blanca 02:34
You pretend you know me But you slipped right away The hippie looks, speakers hum with jack unplugged It's not the time to give it out, give it out I saved your number on my phone, Blanca Though I know that you're no good for me I got a missed call from you last night, lady Maybe you want something for free Take it, take it Take it away Take it, take it Take it away I saved your number on my phone, Blanca Though I know that you're no good for me I got a missed call from you last night, lady Maybe you want something for free Take it, take it Take it away Take it, take it Take it away

Feng Shui 03:12
Time has told me and I realized That this world wasn't made only for one But if you have something inside don't be a fool Don't mess with your feng shui cause It won't warn you twice Ah Ah Ah Ah One two Ah Ah Ah Ah
