    Lyrics / Letra 🇦🇷
    Bricked up a kilo
    Paneled down in the back door
    All the while im riding
    To auditions im not getting
    Why do i keep on returning to you?
    All americans jawlines
    One moment going over scene lines
    Grind the scripts like teeth
    Why do I keep on returning to you?
    Cocaine, cocaine
    Swarm TV cameras
    Click and stumble at the chateau
    Later, i hear John's
    Body got carried out
    Ice cream was code word
    Told to me by a code man
    These nice hotels
    Gotta look, not tell
    Why do i keep on returning to you?
    Cocaine, cocaine
    Cocaine, cocaine
    Why do i keep on returning to you?
    (Give me some ice cream)
    Give it to me now
    Oh... now
    Im in the deepest e d of an empty (?)
    (He's never gonna make it)
    (He's never gonna make it in LA)
    Im in the deepest end of an empty (?)
    Cocaine, cocaine
    Im in the deepest end of an empty (?)
    (He's never gonna make it)
    (He's gonna make it in LA)
    Im in the deepest end of an empty (?)
    (He's never gonna make it)
    Cocaine
    (He's never gonna make it)
    Cocaine

    Every. Single. Song. A story told, a story gained, a perspective untold until sung; Alt-J deserves far more followers but their fans are loyal as the day is long. And then some. Every song makes you feeeeeel. Even when you can’t catch all the lyrics the first few listens. And the videos? Get Better brings me to tears every time I watch it; even my 12 yr old said, “dang, Alt-J! You’re making cry!” 😂 I love how much my husband and 5 children love music. Lyrics. Stories. Feeling something through it all in a way that words can’t describe. Music is nothing short of a gift from God. There’s a reason it holds so much power.

I hated him that moment but I'll love him forever for showing me this band 😅 I remember thinking about the 'should've been on that last bus home but I asked you for a dance' line from the song 'dancing in the moonlight' cause I was the one that spontaneously asked him for a dance that first night we had.

    didn't really get into the new album until I saw them live, now I'm obsessed with this song and Philidelphia and U&me and get better

    Great song. And the visual. How to make something as simple as a car ride sunset so compelling. I could watch it all day.
