Julian Casablancas
Who Loves the Scum?
[Verse 1]
We get left high and dry
We never tasted the high life
I checked the runner's sky
Deaf ears upon the poor cry
Ocean in the background
Someday I will be found

[Pre-Chorus 1]
It’ll come around
It's gotta come around
It's gonna come around
Oh you think it might sound funny
Till all your wealth and all
Your money’s gone

Who loves the scum?
Not everyone

[Chorus 1]
Wait for the crumblin' sky
Rain down radiated love
Wait for the crumbling night
Send the spirit from above

[Verse 2]
And no more lucky ones
I see it now
We'll have our time when stars collide
And bring this whole sham down
Hell ain't where we're headed
And this ain't heaven
Slow tides shifting now
Bringing the luck
We weren't allowed

[Chorus 2]
Wait for the crumblin' sky
Rain down radiated love
Wait for the crumbling night
Send the spirit from above

[Bridge]
Ignore them here
Everything’s clear
Some kind of love
Burnin’ like the sun

In big black print
Says where we're headin’
New one every day now
They all point to Armageddon
If it's all too much
From Hong Kong to touchin'
You've got a yellow belly
Rubber guts turn fight to flight
See the change round the bend
Oh it’s not the end

[Verse 3]
We get left high and dry
We never tasted the high life
I checked the runner's sky
Deaf ears upon the poor cry

[Pre-Chorus]
It'll come around
It's gotta come around
It's gonna come around
Oh you think it might sound funny
Till all your wealth and all
Your money's gone

[Chorus 3]
Wait for the crumblin' sky
Rain down radiated love
(Who loves the scum?)
Wait for the crumbling night
Send the spirit from above
(Not everyone)
