Lyrics

Decided
To sneak up away
From your stomach
And try your pulse
And captured
What seemed all
Unknowing and candid
But they suspected
It was false

She's playful
The boring would
Warn you be careful
Of her brigade
In order to tame
This relentless marauder
Move away from the parade

And she was walking on the tables
In the glass house
Endearingly bedraggled in the wind
Subtle in her method of seduction
The twenty little tragedies begin

And she would throw
A feather boa in the road
If she thought
That it would set the scene
Unfittingly dipped
Into your companions
Enlighten them to make you see

And there's affection to rent
The age of the understatement
Before the attraction ferments
Kiss me properly and pull me apart

Affection to rent
The age of the understatement
Before this attraction ferments
Kiss me properly and pull me apart

Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh

And my fingers scratch at my hair
Before my mind can get too reckless
The idea of seeing you here
Is enough to make the sweat grow cold

Ohhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh

[OriginOfStarlight]

No, Muse are definitely NOT for Twilight freaks. In fact, a lot of their fans don't like that so many people listen to them just because their song was featured in the film.

[Kitty6764]

the only similarity between knights of cydonia and this song is the western theme and secondly i like muse but i despise twilight because it is shit

[ostouhc]

Come on people cut the offensive crap against Muse or Turner-slash-Monkeys-slash-Kan­e, this song is great. Of course, Knights of Cydonia is more awesome. And what the f*ck is this Twilight?

[itheindigoswan]

this song makes me scared of girls' wicked mind controlling games even more.

[asikosha]

It's music from Westerns and of course the BIGGEST influence, style from THE BEATLES!!! All modern rock bands, including Muse are influenced by Classics!!!

[whedonobsessed]

I wasn't prepared ofr this. I'm a HUGE Muse fan (no, not because of twilight) and I really wasn't expecting so many Muse-bashing comments on here. Both songs are really good people! Stop saying one is better than the other! Other than the drumming technique and yeah, the slight western theme, they are completely different!

[DrPepper742]

I don't mind at all the Muse-inlfuenced western sound, Alex doing something like this is awesome!

[ACleverName17]

holy shit knights of cydonia

[SabbraCadabra789]
