Chairlift - Sidewalk Safari Lyrics






All of the bones in your body
Are in way too few pieces for me
Time to do something about it
If you know what I mean

I'm on a sidewalk safari
If I see you on the street, you'd better run
Away from my all-terrain weapon
In your direction
In your direction...

I'm on a sidewalk safari
If I see you on the street you'd better run
You should have taken a taxi
In your direction

Cause I'm gonna hunt you down
(In your direction)
I'm gonna run you down
(In your direction)
I'm gonna run you down
(In your direction)
I'm gonna hunt you down

I'm bad with bows and arrows
I'm not so good at guns
Poison seems old fashioned
And hired help's no fun
But I do know how to drive a car
Faster than a man can run...

Cause I'm gonna hunt you down
I'm gonna run you down
(In your direction)
I'm gonna run you down
(In your direction)
I'm gonna hunt you down
(In your direction)

  14. c.... ....

    This song reminds me of 'There is a light that never goes out' with The Smiths.

    c.... ....

  20. b.... ....

    Space hipsters

  21. R.... L....

    Lol this genre of music is awesome. I discovered it through Spotify radio and it's so good! IN YOUR DIRECTION

  22. J.... C....

    How about stop arguing about if its hipster or not and like your own damn music.

  23. r.... ....

    This is not studying music.

  24. P.... T....

    First song in a while that I deliberately listened to three times in a row!

  25. E.... K....

    Chairlift=genius! Caroline has the greatest voice. She should be a massive star. Great creativity, smart, fantastic music, amazing lyrics, beyond beautiful.

  26. L.... H....

    This music is completely from the outside of the box, I go to sleep with this tune on my headphones loud and in my car on the way to work. Outstanding.

  27. s.... ....

    on another note, i would love to watch you eat phallic shaped foodstuffs

  28. s.... ....

    i find the whole argument mute as "hipster" culture breached the pop culture lexigon long ago u laggerts thus any postulation of hipster purism is pure poser.... interestingly enough two things i think are pretty hip are hippies and hip hop

  29. L.... ....

    seriously I can NEVER get enough Chairlift in my life

  30. J.... ....

    the synth fits perfectly with her voice.

  31. h.... ....

    That fucking bridge, holy shit. Gives me chills every time.

  32. I.... T....

    HAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA

  33. F.... ....

    This synth is killer

  34. D.... ....

    ...12 ! :-D (not me) xD

  35. S.... M....

    Cute. Mostly creative.

  36. u.... ....

    I just don't suck everyone else'es dick and like music I like. Fuck whoever has a problem with it. I can't hear you over my tunes :)

  37. E.... ....

    god it's just music. i dress normal but i fucking love this music. so i think i am not a hipster. i think people who want to be hipster dont even listen to that 'hipster music'.

    >>Everyone<< read the story ''The Waking Moon'' on Wattpad! imo this song is made for the story, everytime i listen to it because it describes the novel perfectly
    peace

  38. I.... ....

    Hipsters are those people who wear Ray Ban sunglasses, flanelettes or in general "cool" clothing (that isnt actually cool but i guess thats the point of being a hipster), have this shaped haircut, always pose for photos to put on facebook. I'm sorry 90s, we failed you, we People are now self aware of how they can post photos of themselves being awesome on the internet. Self-indulgence begin! Fuckers. Now everyone is hipster. Just like indie, its not indie if everyone is goddamn doing it.

    I.... ....

    HAHAHAHAHAHAHA, yes!

  39. J.... S....

    DIRECTION!

  40. w.... ....

    You speak words of wisdom. Hipster is a terrible insult.

  41. A.... B....

    I say more, "Space Pop"

  42. D.... ....

    @ Velocitygrrl007
    Oops, I forgot you for a while. Thanks for telling how much you loved the gig ... I knew you would. :)

    Chairlift are obviously bundles of energy: when they went to Phoenix they had already been on the road for 3 months, touring 3 continents, playing gigs almost every other night - all that obviously without any loss of quality. And their tour still went on after Phoenix.

  43. J.... K....

    i like the blade-runner-ish ending!!!

  44. i.... ....

    Best band ever!

  45. T.... ....

    lol. how do you define "hipster music"?

  46. I.... ....

    fucking hipster music

  47. L.... M....

    Hello again,
    The show was absolutely euphoric, magical and there were moments where I thought the entire venue was floating. One of the best shows I've ever attended. Each musician was right on and the stage presence was stellar. Your recommendation motivated me to go, so big thanks :)

  48. M.... P....

    I brought myself here.

  49. A.... D....

    I just saw them at the Magic Stick in Detroit a couple moths ago. It was the best concert I have ever been too. Also I think I'm in love with Caroline she truly a very talented, humble, and beautiful person to watch on stage.

  50. W.... ....

    Mix 100.7 brought me here about 2 months ago...I'm still here... :)

  51. l.... ....

    Why is JG Ballard tagged in this video? Favourite author, or "Empire of the Sun" (author of) > Empire of the Sun (band)?

  52. C.... S....

    agreed, had the pleasure of seeing them here recently, where they are alt radio darlings, and she was very down to earth, with a healthy sense of self-deprecation that keeps her grounded.

  53. D.... ....

    @ Velocitygrrl007 You're welcome. :) After the show I'd love to know how you liked it.

  54. L.... M....

    @Dhuennufer Thank you for the information! I just found out they are playing in Phoenix and I just booked tickets for the show. Can't wait - big thanks :)

  55. Z.... ....

    One of the more interesting indie bands at the moment.

  56. D.... ....

    To everyone who likes their music:

    You don't know what you've been missing if you haven't seen them LIVE on stage. Fortunately they tour a lot, and tickets are usually fairly cheap :) as they're no mega-stars yet.

    Lead singer Caroline Polachek's stage presence is enormous: her vocal range, her beauty, her charisma - marvelous ... and she dances to her music with the posture and elegance of a figure skater. A very nice lady to talk to she is as well: no conceit at all.

  57. M.... R....

    Nao consigo parar de ouvir essa musica!!

    M.... R....

    Uma das melhores músicas do Chairlift😍😍😍

  58. b.... ....

    Mac Wilson just brought me here

  59. E.... K....

    There needs to be a video for this and we are not getting it fast enough.

  60. D.... ....

    i call this genre... space indie

  61. A.... B....

    oh yea! drum track!

  62. C.... K....

    I Love driving fast in my car listening to this song, 3 fast cars, revenge... great synths.ugh replay

  63. T.... O....

    Has a Midge Ure/Ultravoxx sound.

  64. R.... M....

    Part of me keeps thinking that it sounds like something from Megaman X lol

  65. G.... ....

    I'm waiting to see this song accompany some GTA video footage... Anyways, this has a very 80's sound. Almost reminds me of Debbie Harry in a way, especially at around 2:25 ~ 2:45.

  66. j.... r....

    @MrKixforfree hahahaha yes, but thats actually what she said it was about in an interview

  67. j.... r....

    @MrKixforfree this song is about a man driving on a side walk running over people, as if he were playing a video game.......... and there you are.

  68. J.... N....

    The only problem with this song is that it ends. As soon as the tag comes around, I'm like, "Dangit, I gotta quit acting like a fool. Replay!"

  69. D.... ....

    Saw these guys live today. Was the highlight track for me. So good.

  70. i.... ....

    Pretty good song guys.

  71. v.... ....

    your sound, lyrics ,amazing

  72. m.... ....

    @MrKixforfree and this post reminds me I still need to finish shenmue.

  73. u.... ....

  74. O.... ....

    like a two headed shark

  75. w.... ....

  76. m.... ....

  80. S.... ....

    @mrturret01 Thats pretty awesome

  81. m.... ....

    @brewill23 I think so

  82. S.... ....

    Is this song about running over an ex-boyfriend or whatever with a car?! D:

  83. S.... ....

    The riff kicks so much ass it might as well be a ninja!

  84. i.... c....

    such manic goodness!

  85. F.... ....

    This reminds me of playing Sonic on my Sega genesis for some reason.

  86. E.... ....

    @MrKixforfree sega and other 80s games in general , good call!

  87. 0.... ....

    that riff is AWESOME

  88. D.... ....

    This reminds me of "Into The Light" by Siouxsie and the Banshees.

  89. E.... A....
