Cold War Kids - Audience Lyrics






Sunday nights that you want her like velvet cake
Sweet heart can bargain half price mistakes
She will go down with her ship like a good captain
You're sitting on the dock playing for an audience of one

Pacing your apartment, linoleum floors
Get a call from an old friend, she never liked him before
He will drive all over three lanes, you sit tight, shotgun
Windshield wipers waving for an audience of one

You came out from the country wearing mama's clothes
You were born in the city with daddy's domino's
You need a record you can move to, well, we got one
Drop the needle, we are playing for an audience of one
Drop the needle, we are playing for an audience of one

One gets all of you, two's jealous, three gets even less
Four divides you up then you're left pleasing all your guests

Reach out, you point a finger and touch the globe
Spin it round and where it stops you got to pack your bags and go
Land in the Mojave desert, you sing for the sun
Three's too many when you're playing for an audience of one
Two's too busy when you're playing for an audience of one
One is the only way you're playing for an audience of one

  41. A.... T....

    Such a great song but I have no idea what it means.

    A.... T....

    That's how I feel! I'm straight up obsessed with the song, but not because the lyrics really speak too much to me or anything.
    I think the song is just about a break up, really.

    A.... T....

    Andy Tu I think that is about, focusing in only one person, or in one thing, giving everything for it; and the complications that you have when doing it

  42. S.... J....

    Holy crap this song is just fantastic.

  43. J.... Y....

    Just saw these guys live. Pretty good.

    A.... V....

    nah i think its part of their sound, it plays again if you listen carefully.

  48. N.... G....

    somehow in every song they can appeal to like every emotion I've ever had haha

    N.... G....

    The emotion I'm feeling rn is boredom.

  55. T.... S....

    Great song, couldn't find it on iTunes though :(

  56. E.... N....

    Well whats wrong with that? That someone likes lil wayne and Cold War Kids? Do you assume everyone who enjoys some other sort of music should deserve to like other songs?

  57. B.... ....

    true that, they should have more listeners, preferebely non-li'l wayne listeners etc.

  58. T.... W....

    for me it's still there

  59. O.... ....

    Nope, still not there!

  60. Y.... K....

  86. t.... ....

    thumbs-downed for the use of the word "cray" on a cold war kids video

  87. C.... P....

    i love it

  88. g.... ....

    Yes, what are you doing on a channel designed for artists to make money off of people watching the music you worked hard to make? That's absolutely criminal!

  89. R.... K....

    Audience?! Wha! What are you doing in a song title audience? That's precarious. INTRO OF DARKNESS THEN REDNESS THEN WHITENESS.

  90. J.... G....

    And 2076 people have even better opinions

  91. C.... L....

    I love cold war kids! <3

    If anybody has 2 minutes to spare, I uploaded a piano cover of their song "Passing the Hat" from "Robbers and Cowards" on my channel. I hope it does them justice :) It'd mean a lot to get feedback!

  92. D.... ....

    Us leet hackers eh? :D

  93. T.... ....

    This is contemporary music. How is it not "today's" music?

  94. b.... ....

    Ain't it Jay?

  95. J.... J....

    the lead singer looks like woody harrelson! that shit cray

  96. T.... C....

    These guys put on a great live show
