About This Track

'Banshee' by Santigold is an alternative track from the album '99 Cents', released in 2015. The lyrics centre on restless insistence and coercive urgency, with the singer addressing a looming, taunting presence, declaring she will not sleep, and urging someone to keep doing what they are told. The repeated vocal hook, “Come on, Come on”, pushes the song forward like a demand that will not let up.

Banshee

Santigold - Banshee
(Come on, Come on)
(Come on, Come on)
(Come on, Come on)
(Come on, Come on)
(Come on, Come on)
(Come on, Come on)
(Come on, Come on)
(Come on, Come on)
Banshee on my shoulder
And I ain’t gon’ get no sleep tonight
Says keep doing what I told ya
And the trouble is that she ain’t right
Tell ya get out of my way
Tell ya get out of my way
Don’t want to hear what you say
Don’t want to hear what you say
Banshee on my shoulder
And I ain’t gon’ get no sleep tonight
Step off the edge (Come on)
Sweat it all out (Come on)
Step off the edge (Come on)
Work it all out (Come on)
Let me play with fire tonight (Come on)
Dancing through the siren, alright (Come on)
Rip it up, I’ll have me a good time (Come on)
There’s something about it ok
There’s something about it ok
Let me keep on preachin’ to my choir (Come on)
Will you take me down or push me higher (Come on)
Rip it up, I’m having a good time (Come on)
There’s something about it ok
There’s something about it ok
I like what you’re doing to me
There’s something about it ok
(Come on, Come on)
Staring in the mirror
Yeah, I think I see you in the light
Hear a whisper tell me you’re nearer
Now if you leave me I’ll be petrified
Tell ya get out of my way
Tell ya get out of my way
Don’t want to hear what you say
Don’t want to hear what you say
Staring in the mirror
Yeah, I think I see you in the light
Step off the edge (Come on)
Sweat it all out (Come on)
Step off the edge (Come on)
Work it all out (Come on)
Let me play with fire tonight (Come on)
Dancing through the siren, alright (Come on)
Rip it up, I’ll have me a good time (Come on)
There’s something about it ok
There’s something about it ok
Let me keep on preachin to my choir (Come on)
Will you take me down or push me higher (Come on)
Rip it up, I’m having a good time (Come on)
There’s something about it ok
There’s something about it ok
I like what you’re doing to me
There’s something about it ok
Let me play with fire tonight (Come on)
Dancing through the siren, alright (Come on)
Rip it up, I’ll have me a good time (Come on)
There’s something about it ok
There’s something about it ok
Let me keep on preachin to my choir (Come on)
Will you take me down or push me higher (Come on)
Rip it up, I’m having a good time (Come on)
There’s something about it ok
There’s something about it ok
I like what you’re doing to me
