Phoenix - Trying To Be Cool Lyrics






City and desert coexist
Depending on the things you're wearing
Wildlife binoculars
Tell me that you want me
Tell me that you want me

They teach you suffer to resist
Too much intention, Presbyterian
Mint julep testosterone
Tell me that you want me
Tell me that you want me

Cool
I'm just trying to be cool
It's all because of you
Some fanatic attitude
We're both on

Open for business says it all you can't go wrong
Is innocence too immature where you're from?
Tell me that you want me
Tell me that you want it all

Two dozen pink and white ranunculus
Why? What are the problems to solve?
To part time holy bachelors
Tell them that you want me
Tell them that you want me

Cool
I'm just trying to be cool
It's all because of you
Some fanatic attitude
We're both on

Open for business says it all you can't go wrong
Compliments sound too cynical where you're from
Tell me that you want me
Tell me what they want is

Gruesome,
I don't care where you're from
Nothing's that personal
There is no physical evidence of cannibal boyfriend

Tell me that you want me
Tell me that you want it all
Why don't you tell me that you want me?
Tell me that you want it all

  72. E.... C....

    Bike at 2:53 , excellance!!

  73. J.... P....

    Muito showww

  74. J.... W....

    I swear to God this song says to ME that a band memeber, possibly the singer, was at a sporting event and there was a guy who got too drunk boasting about his team and the singer was like, "Okay, buddy, take your jersey and your attitude some where else. I'm just trying to chill.". Just my take on the song. Enjoy my interpretation.

    J.... W....

    Hence the fanatic attitude.

  75. S.... M....

    this mix is turbo better than the original one, sorry guys <3

  76. C.... F....
