Yeah Yeah Yeahs - Cool It Down Lyrics






Spitting Off the Edge of the World

[ Featuring Perfume Genius ]

Cowards, here's the sun
So bow your heads
In the absence of bombs
Draw your breath

Dark, dark places shall be none
She's melting houses of gold
And the kids cry out

We're spitting off the edge of the world
Out in the night
Never had no chance
Nowhere to hide
Spitting off the edge of the world
Out comes the sun
Never had no chance
Nowhere to run

Mama, what have you done?
I trace your steps
In the darkness of one
Am I what's left?
Silver lines whisper to me
Wounded arms must carry the load
And the kids cry out

We're spitting off the edge of the world
Out in the night
Never had no chance
Nowhere to hide
We're spitting off the edge of the world
Nowhere to run
Never had no chance
Out comes the sun
Spitting off the edge of the world
Winds from the sky
Never had no chance
Will watch us rise

Oh, let the time come
Oh, when hearts fall in love
Oh, let no one see you
Let nothing hold you
Come close, come close

Closer now, closer now
Come close, come close
Closer now, closer now

Wolf

I'm hungry like a wolf
I bleed like a wolf

I'm lost and I'm lonely
I hunger for you only
Don't leave me now
Don't break the spell

In heaven, lost my taste for hell
Taste for hell
Taste for hell, oh, oh

I'm hunted like a wolf
I feed, I feed like a wolf

I'm lost and I'm lonely
I hunger for you only
Don't leave me now
Don't break the spell

In heaven, lost my taste for hell
Taste for hell
Taste for hell, hell, hell

Into the wild with me
Into the wild
Into the wild with me
Into the wild with me

Into the wild
Into the wild
Into the wild

Into the wild
Into the wild

Into the wild
Into the wild

Fleez

You know I won't do battle with no fiction
The wilderness becoming my addiction
I shuffle 'round the creatures and the lords (the lords)
On the road again, I make my transformation
And it feels nice
To roll the dice
Once or twice

Fleez and me eating nuts in the leaves
That's where we dance to ESG
Fleez and me eating nuts in the leaves
That's where we dance to ESG, like this

Very moody, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
Very moody, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
Very moody, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
Very moody, yeah, yeah, yeah

I make my transformation
And it feels nice
To roll the dice
Once or twice

On the road again baby
That's right

Fleez and me eating nuts in the leaves
That's where we dance to ESG
Fleez and me eating nuts in the leaves
That's where we dance to ESG, like this

Very moody, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
Very moody, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
Very moody, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
Very moody, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
Very, up down and all around baby

Very moody, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
Very moody, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
Very moody, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
Very moody, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, oh

Burning

Believer, took me over like a fever
'Caught ya hiding in the smoke, smoke, smoke
Like a meteor I glow, glow, glow

Ooh, lay your red hand on me, baby
Ooh, ooh, as I go

Into the sea, out of fire
All that burning
Into the sea, out of fire
All that burning
Into the sea, out of fire
All that burning
Into the sea, out of fire
All that burning

Whatcha gonna do? Whatcha gonna do?
Whatcha gonna do? Whatcha gonna do?
Whatcha gonna do? Whatcha gonna do?
Whatcha gonna do when you get into the water?

Well, I'll release her
From the bindings of her teachers
What they're hiding there is broke, broke, broke
Like the river sticks I flow, flow, flow

Whatcha gonna do when you get into the water?
Whatcha gonna do when you get into the water?
Whatcha gonna do when you get into the water?
Whatcha gonna do when you get into the water?

Whatcha gonna do when you get into the water?
Whatcha gonna do when you get into the water?
Whatcha gonna do when you get into the water?
Whatcha gonna do when you get into the water?

Into the sea, out of fire
All that burning
Into the sea, out of fire
All that burning
Into the sea, out of fire
All that burning
Into the sea, out of fire
All that burning

Blacktop

Thunder lights the road
Blacktop rolling under God
Now we're dancing close
One to one as our bodies lock

One to one, we sway
On our way home
One to one, we sway
And all the pain flows

Open, open
Opened up
Open, open
Opened up

Oh, as I was young and easy
In the mercy of his means
Time held me green and dying
Though I sang in my chains
Like the sea

One to one, we sway
One to one, home
One to one, we sway
And all the pain flows, flows

Hello, hold on
'Til the love is gone
Hello, hold on
'Til the love is gone
Hello, hold on
'Til the love is gone
Gone home, home

Mars

I watched my favorite show tonight
The dance the light does
On the sea's ever-shifting surface
Golden tunnel beckoning, rosy
I can't come with you, not now

No more shimmering path
Just an orb hanging above
With all its heavenly fire
Contained in a complete circle

I asked my son what it looked like to him
"Mars", he said with a glint in his eye
"Mars", he said with a glint in his eye

Cool It Down is the fifth studio album by American indie rock band Yeah Yeah Yeahs, released on September 30, 2022, through Secretly Canadian. It marks the group's first album since 2013's Mosquito and their first release through Secretly Canadian. The lead single "Spitting Off the Edge of the World" featuring Perfume Genius was released on June 1, 2022. The band began a world tour in support of the record from June 2022. Their fifth track, "Burning," was used as the opening theme of the Marvel Cinematic Universe miniseries Echo.

In a press release, Karen O stated: "Don't have to tell you how much we've been going through in the last nine years since our last record, because you've been going through it too [...] So yes we've taken our time, happy to report when it's ready it really does just flow out." The title of the album was taken from the Velvet Underground song of the same name from their 1970 album Loaded, while lead single "Spitting Off the Edge of the World" was inspired by the climate crisis. "Fleez," the album's fourth track, incorporates elements from fellow New York City band ESG's 1981 song "Moody".

Yeah Yeah Yeahs first teased new music in early May 2022 after announcing shows in New York City and Los Angeles in October.

Cool It Down received acclaim from music critics and was nominated for Best Alternative Music Album at the 65th Annual Grammy Awards.
