Lyrics   status: confirmed

I want you to levitate me
Don't you love me yet?
Press up against the amp
Turn up the treble
Don't forget

Getting dizzy sittin around
Sacred trickster and the no tech sound

I wish I could be
Music on a tree
Noise Nomads and me
Levitating on the ground
Uh huh uh huh
Uh huh uh huh
Uh huh uh huh
Uh huh uh huh

What's it like to be a girl in a band?
I don't quite understand
That's so quaint to hear
I feel so faint my dear

Doin' nothing sittin around
Sacred trickster and the no tech sound

I wish I could be
Music on a tree
Noise Nomads and me
Levitating, scootin around

NOTES:

  • This was the first single from the album. Tom Surgal directed a music video for the song that was available in the iTunes Live from SoHo digital package.
  • Unlike most of the songs on The Eternal, this song features just one vocalist (Kim) and this is the only track she doesn't play guitar on.
  • The band played this in their last performance on The Late Show with David Letterman. They also played it on Later...With Jools Holland.

ALTERNATE VERSIONS:

  • iTunes Live From SOHO - LIVE - 2:19

    Recorded live June 9th, 2009 at SoHo Apple Store.
