Wash Off - Foals, Kuu

I hope there’s a shot in the dark

That if I keep it up I can keep on going

They say that life is short

And it can’t be bought by the likes of me

I heard that it won’t be long

Until we’re gone like dew in the morning

Stop the clocks, pull up your socks

Go find a fountain to wash it off

So kill the screen, head to Medellin

To shout and scream and find your trouble

Live amongst the orange roses

Pull vogue poses and wash it off

Lord knows I’m in the field, hellhounds are back

And on my heels

They said I died last week in the Pacific ocean

No words spoken

Plane fell right out the sky

But they don’t know why, but don’t you worry

'Cause life’s a lie, so roll the die

Keep on trying to wash it off

(Go wash it off)

(Go wash it off)

(Go wash it off)

Don’t you even think of me

'Cause I’ll be free beyond the levee

All that’s left is a ghost machine

And it can’t be reached, but you can try

You should go buy the boat

And build a moat, untie yourself

(Go wash it off)

(Go wash it off)

(Go wash it off)

You’re my ride or die

I just wish I’d said goodbye one last time

(One last time)

Now all that’s left is a ghost machine

It can’t be reached, it won’t be seen again

(Seen again)

You’re my ride or die

And I just wanted to say goodbye

(Say goodbye)

Now all that’s left is a ghost machine

It can’t be reached, it won’t be seen again

(Go wash it off, go wash it off)

(Go wash it off, go wash it off)

(Go wash it off, go wash it off)

(Go wash it off, wash it off)
