This week’s song: Layla & Nadja by Unknown Mortal Orchestra

LYRICS

Midnight and I’m
Drying your tears on my sleeve
Let’s leave the unread messages on ice please
How many burgers you wanna turn?
How many times you wanna get burned?
They just don’t understand
This isn’t the place you end up
Hey
Lay low, Layla
Let’s get outta this broken place
Lay low, Layla
Let’s get outta this town
You’ve only got
One bag so it’s time to pack it
My old man’s gun
Still in the glove compartment
How many dollars you wanna earn?
How many times ’til you’re gonna learn?
See where one tank of gas
Gets us in this lonely world
Hey
Lay low, Layla
Let’s get outta this broken place
Lay low, Layla
Let’s get outta this town
Lay low, Layla
Let’s get outta this broken place
Lay low, Layla
Let’s get outta this town

Lay low, Layla
Let’s get outta this broken place
Lay low, Layla
Let’s get outta this town
Lay low, Layla
Let’s get outta this broken place
Lay low, Layla
Let’s get outta this town

LYRICS

Forget about it
Ever get outta here, I doubt it
Maybe try again, you’re bound to have better luck
Paranoia
Maybe it’s just the powder up your nose
Givin’ up, it’s just a door that’s never shut
Crackin’ up, I guess you’re not that type o’ nut
Hang around a while, you’re bound to forget your promise

Nadja, darlin’
Tell me all about the other girl inside your bed
My love
Darlin’, I’m on this lonely road so long
I don’t know livin’ from the dead
Thought that I might get a little head
La-la-la

Nadja, baby
Found a strand of your hair and ate it
Couldn’t throw away this thing you left behind
Love’s half-life
Evaporates like water in the blood
Feelin’ homesick, I just stepped out of the room
Crackin’ up about this lonely afternoon
Hang around a while, you’re bound to forget your promise

Nadja, darlin’
Tell me all about the other girl inside your bed
My love
Darlin’, I’m on this lonely road so long
I don’t know livin’ from the dead
Thought that I might get a little head
La-la-la

Nadja, darlin’
Tell me all about the other girl inside your bed
My love
Darlin’, I’m on this lonely road so long
I don’t know livin’ from the dead
Thought that I might get a little head
La-la-la

Nadja, darlin’
Tell me all about the other girl inside your bed
My love
Darlin’, I’m on this lonely road so long
I don’t know livin’ from the dead
Thought that I might get a little head
La-la-la
