About This Track

"Buckle Up" is a track by Dirty Projectors, from the album About to Die, released 9th July 2012. Full lyrics are available below.

Lyrics

Buckle Up

You and me are lovers

We both love each other

Naturally or naturally

Some days better than others

You make sure I'm crying

I make your life exciting

We are usually a scream

But sometimes we're high-fiving

Buckle Up, Buckle Up, Buckle Up

You ain't going nowhere

Buckle Up, Buckle Up, Buckle Up

You ain't going, you ain't going

Sad police got busted

Sad retreat of Custer

Sad beliefs sign of us

To sleep without their fathers

Ragged knees and knuckles

Apathy and hustle

Savage knees point uncle west

I bet without a backhoe

Buckle Up, Buckle Up, Buckle Up

You ain't going nowhere

Buckle Up, Buckle Up, Buckle Up

You ain't going, you ain't going

You and me are lovers

We both love each other

Naturally or naturally

Some days better than others
