Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Hey, hey, hey-yeah, hey
Now-now-now-now
Hey, hey, hey-yeah, hey
Now-now-now-now
Hey, hey, hey-yeah, hey
Now-now-now-now
[Verse 2]
Give me the ring, kissed and told
Give me something that I missed
(Give me the ring)
A hand to hold, wild and what it seems
(Give me the ring)
Kill the king with love is the law
And then we'll turn 'round
(Give me the ring)
Forgive me, dream child
And do you hear me call?
(Give me the ring)
On the loan and on the level
Still on the floor
(Give me the ring)
Sing, dream child
And do you hear at all?
[Verse 3]
(Sing!)
(Sing!)
[Verse 4]
Hey now, hey now, now
Sing this corrosion to me
Hey now, hey now, now
Sing this corrosion to me
Hey now, hey now, now
Sing this corrosion to me
Hey now, hey now, now
[Verse 5]
(Sing!)
(Sing!)
[Verse 6]
Hey now, hey now, now
Sing this corrosion to me
Hey now, hey now, now
Sing this corrosion to me
Hey now, hey now, now
Sing this corrosion to me
Hey now, hey now, now
[Verse 7]
Hey, hey, hey-yeah, hey
Now-now-now-now
Hey, hey, hey-yeah, hey
Now-now-now-now
Hey, hey, hey-yeah, hey
Now-now-now-now
[Verse 8]
Give me, siren, child and do you hear me?
Give me siren, child and do you hear me call?
Sing, child, of right and wrong
Give me things that don't last long
Give me siren, child and do you hear me call?
[Verse 9]
(Sing!)
(Sing!)
[Verse 10]
Hey now, hey now, now
Sing this corrosion to me
Hey now, hey now, now
Sing this corrosion to me
Hey now, hey now, now
Sing this corrosion to me
Hey now, hey now, now
[Verse 11]
On days like this
In times like these
I feel an animal deep inside
Heel to haunch on bended knees
Living on if and if I tried
Somebody
Send me, please
[Verse 12]
Dream wars and a ticket to seem
Giving out and in
Selling the don't belong
Well, what do you say?
Do you have a word for giving away?
Got a song for me?
[Verse 13]
(Sing!)
(Sing!)
[Verse 14]
Hey now, hey now, now
Sing this corrosion to me
Hey now, hey now, now
Sing this corrosion to me
Hey now, hey now, now
Sing this corrosion to me
Hey now, hey now, now
Sing...Like a healing...
[Verse 15]
Hey now, hey now, now (Hand)
Sing this corrosion to me
Hey now, hey now, now
Sing this corrosion to me
Hey now, hey now, now
Sing this corrosion to me
Hey now, hey now, now
[Verse 16]
I got nothing to say I ain't said before
I bled all I can, I won't bleed no more
I don't need no one to understand
Why the blood run hold the hired hand
On heart, hand of God
Floodland and driven apart
Run cold
Turn
Cold, burn like a healing hand
[Verse 17]
Hey now, hey now, now
Sing this corrosion to me (Like a healing hand)
Hey now, hey now, now
Sing this corrosion to me (Like a healing hand)
Hey now, hey now, now
Sing this corrosion to me (Like a healing hand)
Hey now, hey now, now
(Like a healing hand)
[Verse 18]
Hey now, hey now, now
Sing this corrosion to me (Like a healing hand)
Hey now, hey now, now
Sing this corrosion to me (Like a healing hand)
Hey now, hey now, now
Sing this corrosion to me (Like a healing hand)
Hey now, hey now, now
(Like a healing hand)
[Verse 19]
Hey now, hey now, now
Sing this corrosion to me (Like a healing hand)
Hey now, hey now, now
Sing this corrosion to me (Like a healing hand)
Hey now, hey now, now
Sing this corrosion to me (Like a healing hand)
Hey now, hey now, now
(Like a healing hand)
[Verse 20]
Hey now, hey now, now
Sing this corrosion to me (Like a healing hand)
Hey now, hey now, now
