The Flaming Lips - Yoshimi Battles The Pink Robots



Her name is Yoshimi
She's a black belt in karate
Working for the city
She has to discipline her body

'Cause she knows that
It's demanding
To defeat those evil machines
I know she can beat them

Oh Yoshimi, they don't believe me
But you won't let those robots eat me
Yoshimi, they don't believe me
But you won't let those robots defeat me

Those evil-natured robots
They're programmed to destroy us
She's gotta be strong to fight them
So she's taking lots of vitamins

'Cause she knows that
It'd be tragic
If those evil robots win
I know she can beat them

Oh Yoshimi, they don't believe me
But you won't let those robots defeat me
Yoshimi, they don't believe me
But you won't let those robots eat me

Yoshimi

'Cause she knows that
It'd be tragic
If those evil robots win
I know she can beat them

Oh Yoshimi, they don't believe me
But you won't let those robots defeat me
Yoshimi, they don't believe me
But you won't let those robots defeat me

Oh Yoshimi, they don't believe me
But you won't let those robots eat me
Yoshimi, they don't believe me
But you won't let those robots eat me

Yoshimi

Tegan and Sara - Burn Your Life Down




Tell me that you know another way to get it done.
It's not me, or how I would be, but it's a different situation.
You lay awake in the night just staring at the ceiling above.
Pulling pieces of it out, it's such a waste of time.
Keep on fighting to remember that nothing is lost in the end,
When you burn your life down.
Get me to the door, out of bed or on to track, I'm not sure.
Starting over, it's a different situation.
You wake up in the night and refuse to be afraid of it now.
Unfolding pieces of it faster, don't you waste your time.
You've been planning to remember this, so nothing will be lost in the end.
Then you burn your life down.
I drive around the block and I'm not looking to my right.
I feel the glass against my cheek and I can't see you in the light.
I break my heart around this.
