Foals - Mountain At My Gates lyrics

rate me

(Verse)

I see a mountain at my gates

I see it more and more each day

What I give, it takes away

Whether I go or when I stay

I see a mountain at my gates

I see it more and more each day

I see a fire out by the lake

I'll drive my car without the brakes

I see a mountain in my way

It's loomin' larger by the day

I see a darkness in my fate

I'll drive my car without the brakes

(Chorus)

Oh, give me some time

Show me the foothold from which I can climb

Yeah, when I feel low

You show me a signpost for where I should go

(Verse 2)

I see a mountain at my gates

I see it more and more each day

And my desire wears a dark dress

But each day, I see you less

(Chorus)

[Bridge]

Through lanes and stone rows

Black granite, wind blows

Fire lake and far flame

Go now but come again

Dark clouds gather 'round

Will I run or stand my ground?

(Chorus Variation)

Oh, when I come to climb

Show me the mountain so far behind

Yeah, it's farther away

Its shadow gets smaller day after day

(Outro)

Yeah, give me my way

Give me my luv

Give me my choice

You keep me comin' around

Give me my fate

Give me my lungs

Give me my voice

You keep me comin' around

Give me my lungs

Give me my, give me my, give me my, give me my

Give me my, give me my, give me my, give me my, give me my way

Give me my fate

Give me my lungs

Give me my choice

You keep me comin' round
