Lyrics

Single version

[Part I: Heathens] [Chorus] All my friends are heathens, take it slow Wait for them to ask you who you know Please don't make any sudden moves You don't know the half of the abuse All my friends are heathens, take it slow Wait for them to ask you who you know Please don't make any sudden moves You don't know the half of the abuse [Verse 2] We don't deal with outsiders very well They say newcomers have a certain smell You have trust issues, not to mention They say they can smell your intentions You'll never know the freak show sitting next to you You'll have some weird people sitting next to you You'll think "How'd I get here, sitting next to you?" But after all I've said, please don't forget [Chorus] All my friends are heathens, take it slow Wait for them to ask you who you know Please don't make any sudden moves You don't know the half of the abuse All my friends are heathens, take it slow Wait for them to ask you who you know Please don't make any sudden moves You don't know the half of the abuse [Part II: Trees] [Intro] La-la-la-da-da La-la-la-la-la-da-da La-la-la-la-la-da-da [Verse] I know where you stand, silent in the trees And that's where I am, silent in the trees Why won't you speak where I happen to be? Silent in the trees, standing cowardly [Chorus] I can feel your breath I can feel my death I want to know you, I want to see I want to say hello [Outro] Say hello La-la-la-da-da La-la-la-la-la-da-da La-la-la-la-la-da-da
