On the top of Chris' piano it says "I'll be a bright red rose come bursting through concrete." So that's that.

Good find. Glad that's cleared up. Makes much more sense than "combusting."

BE A BRIGHT RED ROSE COME BURSTING THE CONCRETE, i think..

And, at the and,

 

"So we saw a luminescent wire

we'll be glowing in the dark"

i think it is

"so we saw... an innocent wired

we'll be glowing in the dark"

BE A BRIGHT RED ROSE COME BURSTING THE CONCRETE, i think..

And, at the and,

 

"So we saw a luminescent wire

we'll be glowing in the dark"

put headphones on... There is clearly a d at the end of wired.

Yes, there is a D for sure, you're right!

But.. Well, we don't know what he's saying :D

I'd go with "so we're so luminous and wired"

Listening to the studio version, it is clearly NOT "come bursting through concrete."

 

It's either "come busting the concrete" or "combusting the concrete."

 

I'm going with the latter.

yeah going to be the new viva la vida i think :)

Yes, there is a D for sure, you're right!

But.. Well, we don't know what he's saying :D

I'd go with "so we're so luminous and wired"

 

Yeah, it's either that or:

 

"So we soar luminous and wired. We'll be glowing in the dark".

 

To be honest I'm not sure what one it is. Soar makes more sense to me though, I doubt he'd say:

 

"so we're so"

 

Sounds silly.

Does anyone else think he is singing:??

 

As the room is spinning, GO!

performance...

 

My thoughts on this part, I hear "As the rumor spinning goes"???

 

Its probably wrong, but its what it sounds like to me :P

I guess you guys have been through this already but i've just heard the live version that's on the japan release and i'm pretty sure he says "light a fire BY the spark"

 

I don't quite get what he says at the end, the "luminescent while we'll be glowing in the dark" bit... is that it?

"So we read some Lovecraft and Wilde/ 'Bout glowing' in the dark"

 

What I personally think it is :P

 

Honestly though, that last line is gonna be one of those lines that no one ever gets right even after the official lyrics are released.

Cthulhu relation anyone? :D

"So it's all luminous and wired,

we'll be glowing in the Dark"

 

I'm Sure now.

 

And it sounds as if he says

"Light a fire off on the Spot/Spark,

Light a fire a flame in my Heart"

Here are the lyrics as printed in my domestic (Japanese) copy:

 

CHARLIE BROWN

 

Wooh, ooh, ooh ooh

 

Stole a key

Took a car downtown where the lost boys meet

Took a car downtown and look what they offered me

To set me free

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

Saw the lights go down and standing in front of me

 

Ooh ooh ooh

 

In my scarecrow dreams

When they smash my heart into smithereens

Be a bright red rose come bursting through concrete

And a cartoon heart

Light a fire a fire a spark

Light a fire a flame in my heart

We'll run wild

We'll be glowing in the dark

Oooh ooh ooh

We'll be glowing in the dark

A-woo-a-wooooo

 

All the boys, all the girls, all that matters in the world

All the boys, all the girls, all the madness that occcurs

All the highs, all the lows, as the room a-spinning goes

We'll run riot we'll be glowing in the dark

 

Ooooooh, oooooh, ooooh

So we'll soar

Luminous and wired

We'll be glowing in the dark

YES! Thank you panicked! Knew i was right with Luminous ;)

damn i think they are right

 

except for bursting through concrete, i'd say it's the concrete

wow thanks . I love the lyrics even more now that I've seen them

There's no way it's "through concrete" or "and a cartoon heart."

"Took a car downtown and look what they offered me"

 

"Took"

look[/color] what they offered me"

 

"Took"

Yes!

There's no way it's "through concrete" or "and a cartoon heart."

I don't hear the through too!

Also And a cartoon heart should be Be a cartoon heart

 

and also scarecrow dream instead of dreams

I keep hearing an extra syllable in there: "Light a fire, OH light a spark"

I wish that they would have just released the lyrics for all the songs like the Oracle said would happen last week :inquisitive:

The Oracle 'promised' again today they would be coming...it will make my singing of the song a lot more confident although its hilarious to guess and find out just how wrong I've been belting it out in the car and mumbling verses at work. I'm terrible with this kind of thing. ;)

I keep hearing an extra syllable in there: "Light a fire, OH light a spark"

 

It's "Light a fire, a fire a spark"
