Lyrics of Banquet by Bloc Party
verse
A heart of stone, a smoking gun
I can give you life, I can take it away
A heart of stone, a smoking gun
I'm working it out, I'm working
pre-chorus
Why'd you feel so underrated?
Why'd you feel so negated?
chorus
Turning away from the light, becoming adult
Turning into myself
I wanted to bite, not destroy, to feel her underneath
Turning into the light
verse
She don't think straight
No, no, no, she don't think straight
She got such a dirty mind and it never ever stops
And you don't taste like her and you never ever will
And we don't read the papers, we don't read the news
Heaven's never enough, we will never be fooled
chorus
Turning away from the light, becoming adult
Turning into my soul
I wanted to bite, not destroy, to feel her underneath
Turning into the light
bridge
And if you feel (and if you feel)
A little left behind (a little left behind)
We will wait for you on the other side
And if you feel (and if you feel)
A little left behind (a little left behind)
We will wait for you on the other side
outro
'Cause I'm on fire
'Cause you know I'm on fire when you come
'Cause you know I'm on fire
'Cause you know I'm on fire, so stomp me out
'Cause I'm on fire
'Cause I'm on fire
'Cause I'm on fire
'Cause I'm on fire
Writer(s): Russell Lissack, Gordon Moakes, Kele Okereke, Matt Tong
