Neon Indian - Local Joke Lyrics






Those kinds of things never bother me
cause I'm the local joke
her sun burnt eyes roll
she calls me 'the broken spoke'
never been late to fuck with fate
and see her phrases choke
but part of me wants to watch and laugh
as they go up in smoke

constantly crossing paths
with all the empty traits
you'd better leave things just unsaid
then left to contemplate
all my words trip as they leave my lips
I've come to set things straight
she needs an excuse to end things and
become the things you hate

    Those kinds of things never bother me cause I'm the local joke

    Constantly crossing paths

  32. C.... M....

    lyrics?

  33. T.... D....

    well said.

  34. M.... ....

    Lawd help me this takes me places.

  35. T.... D....

    hahaha you're so stupid you can't read more than a few sentences! how old are you?

  36. T.... D....

    i was just joking around but if you want to have a serious talk we can. i believe in god because logically i conclude that the origin of matter is impossible without spontaneous generation. in laymens terms a piece of rock can't randomly appear in space. therefor i have logically (i know ironic) accepted that the origin of the universe is something that is not part of our laws of physics... or a god so to speak. alright there you go. lets hear your argument you trendy wanna be fuck

  37. T.... D....

    oh yeah? PROVE IT. problem???

  38. T.... D....

    for christ's sake don't start with that

  39. T.... ....

    12 people are local jokes

  40. C.... ....

    u made it

  41. T.... D....

    Well done, Bjork would be proud. :)

  42. b.... ....

    haha i was there it was tight right

  43. D.... ....

    @afro176 yeah but i mean if you're listening to this kind of music then and exploring it, indie would be to broad to get any meaningful results... the ones i mentioned would get you on the right track to find similar artists because of similar sub-genre.

  44. E.... S....

    I have tickets to this show Dallas, TX Mar 13. Suck it

  45. a.... ....

    @DJbrownmagic Indie is a genre, just a very broad one. Any artist not associated with a major label is technically indie, but that doesn't mean they all sound the same. Different sub-genres and all.

  46. B.... ....

    Oh, god, I love this song.

  47. D.... ....

    @loudon96b Um no? definitely not indie... No such genre as indie.. @shutthefudgeup15 its closer to chillwave, synthp-pop, or psychedelic-pop

  48. J.... F....

    not to sound stupid but wat kind of music is this like wat genre? not to sound mean becuz i like it

  49. G.... ....

    @1234157ify sixty nine likes :)

  50. r.... m....

    @xraydelta1 Hey, I've been seeing your comments a lot and I think you might want to know that you left your Caps Lock on.
    You might want to turn it off before you hurt someones' virgin eyes with such big text.
