    Lyrics:
    You heard the crickets of the early eve
    They lurk around the opening in twos and threes
    Clementine told you not to move with the breeze
    I'll take you down to places where we dare not speak
    The red light in the doorway says she's armed (She's armed)
    I wouldn't go try your luck or you might get passed (Might get passed)
    Step into the dwelling of the liger's mouth
    Peer into the panic for a kick and swell
    You know you shouldn't be there but it's way past bed
    There's comfort in the fingers of your good intent
    You know you shouldn't be there but your money's all spent
    You've got your reputation and your good intent
    Your good intent
    Ooh ooh ooh
    Out to feed that habit when you've sowed that seed
    Nothing made you feel out of the ordinary
    But the air turns sombre and the night took thee
    Took you on a waltz of hypocrisy
    She broke your bones, now you're lying in the dirt
    The shadow of a hunter under your torture
    It's not enough to say, it's not what's in your heart
    You've tainted every moment 'til death do we part
    I know you didn't mean it, boy you meant so well
    The pennies are cascading down your wishing well
    I know you didn't mean it when you counted to ten
    You're slipping through the fingers of your good intent
    I know you didn't mean it, though you meant so well
    The pennies are cascading down your wishing well
    I know you didn't mean it when you counted to ten
    You've got your reputation and your good intent
    Such a good intent
    It's not enough to hope for the best
    It's not enough to lie there on a breast
    The liger's on the prowl now you've pulled its strings
    One false move and soon you're playing dice for a

    I've been a professional Hollywood-based songwriter for many years. This song is complex and sophisticated in it's cool and purposefully imperfect rhymes, hypnotic timing, anti-chorus, lurid content, etc. Amazing that Kimbra wrote this at what...21 yrs old? What an awesome package this artist is.

    THANK YOU, I hate when people complain in this manner, as well, be it music or movies. There's still original and good stuff out there!

    this is just so fuckin good... it's 6 in the morning here in Chicago and I'm still Rollin pretty nice on this Molly and man I'm so glad i found this girl tonight.
    such a unique and original blend of pop. Taylor Swift and Lady GaGa don't even compare.
    this girl is in another league, and all of her live performances are on point.

      Drug free is the way to be, but not going to fault you if it helped you find her. Welcome to the fold.

    She's singing us a story. A fable of warning for the swollen hearts of the fairer sex. She's a character: possessed by the lyrics of a betrayed soul speaking through the rhythm, through the harmonized howls and squeaks.

    I hope Hollywood doesn't mess her up. She is fresh and totally awesome to watch.

      Actually, Kimbra has the same level of talent that Michael Jackson and Elvis Presley had. She is truly in that class. I do not understand why she is not in great demand.
