Just my input on things, but after several days of non-stop listening this is what i get;

 

I stole a key,

Took a car downtown where the lost boys meet,

took a car downtown and took what they offered me,

To set me free,

I saw the lights go down at the end of the scene,

I saw the lights go down,

And standing in front of me.

 

 

In my scarecrow dreams,

When they smash my heart into smithreens,

I'll be a bright red rose come bursting the concrete.

Be a cartoon heart..

 

Light a fire, up by the spark,

Light a fire, flame in my heart,

We'll run wild,

We'll be glowing in the dark...

 

All the boys, all the girls,

All the mess in the world,

All the boys, all the girls,

All the madness that occurs,

All the highs, all the lows,

As the room is spinning, gold

We'll run riot,

We'll be glowing in the dark...

 

So we're so....luminous and wild,,

We'll be glowing in the dark.

 

 

 

I've been listening to the Jimmy Kimmel version, and these are 99% right, check it.

^^^Good find! I just noticed the "luminous" lyric watching the Toronto gig today. Now we know what song luminous is in. We've been hearing it this whole time.:laugh3:

The Parts im not sure are "up by the spark" and im sure he says "as the room spinning goes" thats what i think he sings in the Studio version.

"So we're so....luminous and wild," I think it's not "So we're so" something different..

Took me so long to hear what he is saying! :L so we're nearly there, let's keep going!

Sorry guys, Just rechecked the MX Wall, says "all the madness" on it, so I'm gunna change my guess to All the madness instead of all the mess :)

It's embarrassing how clear the word "luminous" is now that we know what to listen for. Ah well. Good catch, Cake! I'd always thought the lyrics were "So it's all" instead of "So we saw" or "So we're so" because I kept hearing that "L" sound...guess it was from "luminous" after all!

 

Edit: I'm still hearing "All that matters in the world" rather than "All the mess in the world." I could be wrong, though.

Good find on luminous, people. It's so obvious, I can't believe it.

:lol:

 

And I also think it's

all the boys, all the girls

all that matters in the world

all the boys, all the girls

all the madness that occurs

I still think it's not the right song...

The lyrics on the cover say something like:

The two of us and love

A spreading ghost

Luminous the road to the sea we swam from shallows

To battle high???? glow w????

We're gonna run

God only knows to ????

Thanks!! and I would completely agree with you on the matters, i think we may have almost the whole song sussed?

Now that i've been told it's luminous, it sounds so obvious.

 

Oh, and it's

 

All of the boys, all of the girls

Now that i've been told it's luminous, it sounds so obvious.

 

Oh, and it's

 

All of the boys, all of the girls

 

No it's "All the Boys, all the Girls".

No it's "All the Boys, all the Girls".

 

I hear it now, he is just elongating 'All' into two syllables.

Does anyone else think he is singing:??

 

As the room is spinning, GO!

We're un-wired, We'll be glowing in the dark...

 

and

 

So we're so luminous un-wired... We'll be glowing in the dark...

 

It's just me maybe, but it's what I hear. I do hear run wild the first time he sings it, but I hear un-wired the other two times. Especially during the Jimmy Kimmle performance...

Guys, it's combusting the concrete. Not "come bursting".

Have we seen these lyrics written by the band anywhere (on instruments or anything)? I'm not saying it's not "combusting," I was just wondering if it's been confirmed or not. Personally, I can hear it either way depending on the version I'm listening to.

Now i know what hes saying...

 

"so we saw--- a luminous wire...

we'll be glowing in the Dark"

You may be right. I just don't hear wild at the end, and swear I hear un-wired in place of "run wild" in one of the lyrics.

Im pretty sure im right.

Because it just fits perfectly.

Listening to it again. I am sticking with un-wired as of the the last words of the song and that's my final answer. Hoping there will be official and confirmed lyrics printed in the cd or somewhere.

Ehh, it seems like it would fit but I don't hear it personally.

Okay, I've just listened to all seven live recordings of Charlie Brown I have on my ipod. I'm 99% sure it's:

 

"And we're so luminous and wired. And we're glowing in the dark."

Either this or "luminous and wild".

Either this or "luminous and wild".

 

I used to think it was wild, but the last syllable of the word is "ed" and wild ends in a "ld".

 

That's what makes me fairly certain it's wired.

I'm still not sold on the "wire" bit, and there's still a missing syllable after "luminous" in any case, which makes me wonder if the word we're looking for is "luminescent."

 

Another thought:

 

"And we're so luminescent while

We'll be glowing in the dark."

 

Not really sold on that one either, but it's another possibility.

i do think this song is pretty wild.. or it could be the wildest song among others in the album.
