Joy Formidable, The - The Leopard And The Lung Lyrics






Hope it dries the mouth
The enemy clear
The trees pulled out
The song
That’s still within
Flattens the void that Moi began

Hate [x5]
It’s gonna overrun this town
As soon as the moon goes to nothing
Wait [x5]
They’re always gonna run you down
It’s better to face my something

So the roots were long
Each flower a claw that reminds the man
And love still kept you there
The memory earthed for us to share

You laid the land
Laid bare
So, all I do is stare

Hate [x4]
It’s gonna overrun this town
It follows you everywhere
They’re always gonna run you down
It’s better to face my something [x2]

You’re their fort standing
Nothing can shake your walls
One will that’s worth so many
The leopard and the lung
You’re their fort standing
Nothing can shake your walls
One will that’s worth so many
The leopard at their throats

You’re their fort standing [x5]

Hate [x5]
It’s gonna overrun this town
As soon as the moon goes to nothing
Wait [x5]
They’re always gonna run you down
It’s better to face, it’s better to face my something

    The first time I heard this song, it brought the biggest smile to face. Such a brilliant song. Lyrics are outstanding : "Hate - it's gonna overrun this town." Love the different movements: the acoustic in the interlude, the backing vocals in the second verse. This song just works. I'm so in love with song
