Lyrics of Philadelphia by alt-J
verse
Am I cold? I cannot tell
Have I fallen? Or am I falling down this stairwell?
hook
Philadelphia!
verse
Oh, the cadence of the glow
Concussive flashes of distant memories
Good God, I feel your hands on me
chorus
In the dying of the light
My aggressor runs under the lamps
Morning light they'll get to see
The crime committed on me
hook
Philadelphia!
verse
Sonny Green is feeling slow
Pepped up with a bag so righteous he sings all of Rubber Soul
hook
Philadelphia!
verse
Oh, the cadence of the glow
Percussive flashes over dimly lit country
Good God, I feel your hands on me
chorus
In the dying of the light
My aggressor runs under the lamps
Morning light they'll get to see
The crime committed on me
hook
(Philadelphia!)
verse
Silk, dampened, unknown, over final thoughts
Where will I be in two years?
Euphoria breaks over the bow, washing up the macabre
Out to sea to my mother's arms
outro
And I'm losing my ability to fathom
"Awake" and "not awake"
And I'm losing my ability to fathom
"Awake" and "not awake"
And I'm losing my ability to fathom
"Awake" and "not awake"
Writer(s): Thomas Green, Joe Newman, Augustus Unger Hamilton
