Lyrics

Bunker (Solid Ground)

[Chorus: Kyle Falconer]

I’ll stay with you 'cause I know how

To keep my feet on solid ground

When milk turns sour when left on the bunker for days

[Verse 1]

I know that you’re about to hit the twenty-two

That's old enough to know who’s coming on to you

You're complacent with strangers

And everyone that falls by the way

I see your tangerines are fading into black

You'd rather ride out front with him and leave me in the back

But you’re still Rosie from door six

And tainted smiles, they get me every time

[Chorus]

I’ll stay with you 'cause I know how

To keep my feet on solid ground

When milk turns sour when left on the bunker for days

[Verse 2]

Not many days ago you learned to turn the rope

The rope now saving you from learning how to cope

So cut it in half and use its sack

To lasso in the ones you love the most

Should I oil you up or shake you down?

Pick you up and squeeze you out of this little black hole

You've fallen into time and time again

[Chorus]

I’ll stay with you 'cause I know how

To keep my feet on solid ground

When milk turns sour when left on the bunker for days

[Refrain]

Stop talking on my phones when the cables 'round my neck

Your logic’s for me now, on the movies that you’ve found

Get you heart above your strings, you silly little thing

Your tired mind is wasted all my time

[Chorus]

But I’ll stay with you 'cause I know how

To keep my feet on solid ground

When milk turns sour when left on the bunker for days

I’ll stay with you 'cause I know how

To keep my feet on solid ground

When milk turns sour when left on the bunker for days

I’ll stay with you 'cause I know how

To keep my feet on solid ground

When milk turns sour when left on the bunker for days

(Ah, ah ah o-ah)

(Ah, ah ah o-ah)

(Ah, ah ah o-ah)

I’ll stay with you 'cause I know how

To keep my feet on solid ground

I’ll stay with you 'cause I know how

To keep my feet

You know, you know I'm gonna keep my feet

You know the milk turns sour when left on the bunker for days
