Unknown Mortal Orchestra – That Life Lyrics

 

That Life Lyrics by Unknown Mortal Orchestra

 

Girl in the bathroom, Florida Key
Certainties all away
Brother of cocaine
A tequila son-in-law
End of the world today

How do the clouds get
As pink as a peach
Strike up the contraband
Get introduced to
God in the negative
Both supply and demand

All day swimming
Under the palm trees
Look how they gracefully sway
Some kinda gin drink
Some kinda jewelry
Some kinda fancy machine
Why is there always
Crying and quarreling
Filtering through the malaise
I can hear someone runnin’ their mouth and
The neighbors will call the police
And here we go, oh, oh, oh

That life
That life
That life
That life
You’re always gonna be about
Ooh, that life
Oh, that life
Yeah, that life
You’re always gonna be about

Morbid beauty
The skull of the school
The apple o’ daddy’s eye
Possibly not so hydrodynamic
Need some electrolyte

Boiling tarmac
A hole in the hull
The cherry chill of dawn
So far away from
The nearest jaguar
Who’s gonna eat them all

All day swimming
Under the palm trees
Look how they gracefully sway
Some kinda gin drink
Some kinda jewelry
Some kinda fancy machine
Why is there always
Crying and quarreling
Filtering through the malaise
I can hear someone running their mouth and
The neighbors will call the police
And here we go, oh, oh, oh

That life
That life
That life
That life
You’re always gonna be about
Ooh, that life
Oh, that life
Yeah, that life
You’re always gonna be about
