Owl City - The Real World Lyrics

Owl City - The Real World Lyrics

I saw the autumn leaves peel up off the street
Take wing on the balmy breeze and sweep you off your feet
You blushed as they scooped you up on sugar maple wings
To gaze down on the city below, ablaze with wondrous things
Downy feathers kiss your face and flutter everywhere
Reality is a lovely place but I wouldn’t want to live there
I wouldn’t wanna live there
Weighed down by heavy lids and lunar lullabies
I knew you were wide awake because you smile with your eyes
Downy feathers kiss your face and flutter everywhere
Reality is a lovely place but I wouldn’t want to live there
From the green belt balcony, the wildfires look so pretty
Ponderosa canopy, I’d never leave if it were up to me
To the ruby redwood tree, and to the velvet climbing ivy
Painted all mahogany, I’d never leave if it were up to me
[Owl City - The Real World Lyrics on http://mp3lyricsmania.blogspot.com]

With a starry brush, paint the dusk venetian blue
Because in the evening hush, you’ll never believe the view
And when the leaves return and their whisperings fill the night
They’ll freeze and burn where fire and ice collide
Can you feel a silk embrace in the satin air?
If we dissolve without a trace, will the real world even care?
Downy feathers kiss your face and flutter everywhere
Reality is a lovely place but I wouldn’t want to live there
The twilight deepens and the city is suddenly ablaze with shimmery enchantment
I saw the autumn leaves peel up off the street
Take wing on the balmy breeze and sweep you off your feet

Owl City - Deer In The Headlights Lyrics

Owl City - Deer In The Headlights Lyrics

Met a girl in the parking lot
And all I did was say hello
Her pepper spray made it rather hard
For me to walk her home
But I guess that's the way it goes

Tell me again was it love at first sight
When I walked by and you caught my eye
Didn't you know love could shine this bright
Well smile because you're the deer in the headlights

Met a girl with a graceful charm
But when beauty met the beast, he froze
Got the sense I was not her type
By the black eye and bloody nose
But I guess that's the way it goes

Tell me again was it love at first sight
When I walked by and you caught my eye
Didn't you know love could shine this bright
Well smile because you're the deer in the headlights

It's suffocating to say but the female mystique takes my breath away
So give me a smile or give me a sneer
'Cause I'm trying to guess here

Tell me again was it love at first sight
When I walked by and you caught my eye
Didn't you know love could shine this bright
I'm sorry I ever tried
Deer in the headlights
[Owl City - Deer In The Headlights Lyrics on http://mp3lyricsmania.blogspot.com]

Tell me again was it love at first sight
When I walked by and you caught my eye
Didn't you know love could shine this bright
If life was a game you would never play nice
If love was a beam you'd be blind in both eyes
Put your sunglasses on 'cause you're the deer in the headlights
You're the deer in the headlights

Owl City - Alligator Sky Lyrics

Owl City - Alligator Sky Lyrics

[Chorus]

Where was I when the rockets came to life
And carried you away into the alligator sky
Even though, I'll never know what's up ahead
I'm never lettin' go, I'm never lettin' go

[Shawn Chrystopher - Rap Verse 1]

Uh uh, that's not a plane, that's me
I'm sittin' where I'm supposed to
Floatin' on the cloud, can't nobody come close to
The concrete and the sky switch places
So now my ceiling is painted with cosmic spaces
Firecracker to the moon, keep your eyes shut
Blastin' off like a rocket from the ground up
Heh, I used to catch a cab on the Monday
Now the taxi's sellin' lights on the runway, fly
Condo on the milky way
A house on the cloud and God's my landlord
And for my rent all I pay is my drive
Got that so If you need me you can find me in the alligator sky

[Chorus]

Where was I when the rockets came to life
And carried you away into the alligator sky
Even though I'll never know what's up ahead
I'm never lettin' go, I'm never lettin' go

[Bridge]

Roller coaster through the atmosphere
I'm drowning in this starry serenade
Where ecstasy becomes cavalier
My imagination's taking me away

Reverie whispered in my ear
I'm scared to death that I'll never be afraid
Roller coaster through the atmosphere
My imagination's taking me away

[Shawn Chrystopher - Rap Verse 2]

Uh, now I'mma dance like I never dance
Sing like I never sing, dream like I've never dreamed
Or try to, 'cause we've been lied to
That the sun is somethin' that we can't fly to
Well, I sit on my star and see street lights
Look up, ha, you'll miss me if you blink twice
Imagination is hot and if you got it you can meet me
When you see me in the alligator sky

[Chorus]

Where was I when the rockets came to life
And carried you away into the alligator sky?
Even though I'll never know what's up ahead
I'm never lettin' go, I'm never lettin' go

Where was I when the rockets came to life
And carried you away into the alligator sky?
Even though I'll never know what's up ahead
I'm never lettin' go, I'm never lettin' go

Owl City - Peppermint Winter Lyrics

Owl City - Peppermint Winter Lyrics

There’s the snow
Look out below
And bundle up
Cause here it comes
Run outside
So starry eyed
A snowball fight breaks out
And winter has finally begun

I twirl through the driveway with angelic grace
Till I slip on the sidewalk and fall on my face
This peppermint winter is so sugar sweet
I don’t need to taste to believe
What’s December without Christmas Eve

Hop in the sleigh
And we’ll glide away
Into the night
And we’ll sip on moonlight
Runny nose
My frosty toes
Are getting cold but I feel alive
So I smile wide

[Owl City - Peppermint Winter Lyrics on http://mp3downloadsmania.blogspot.com]
The snowflakes start falling and I start to float
Till my mean older brother stuffs snow down my coat
This peppermint winter is so sugar sweet
I don’t need to taste to believe
What’s December without Christmas Eve

All this holiday cheer
Heaven knows where it goes
But it returns every year
And though this winter does nothing but storm
The joy in my heart is ablaze and it’s keeping me warm
It’s keeping me warm
It’s keeping me warm

I rip off the wrapping and tear through the box
Till I end up with 45 new pairs of socks
This peppermint winter is so sugar sweet
I don’t need to taste to believe
What’s December without Christmas Eve

Owl City - Hot Air Balloon

I planned to join Music Monday last week, but my works have already piling up by then. I have to do two technical writings last week. One entitled Water for The Future: Challenges and Potential Solutions and the other one is about Solid State Fermentation. I actually hate doing technical writing. You have to make sure the facts are correct and reliable, the tone must be straight forward and you need to use those technical terms. After all the hours of writing, I usually need to relax my mind. And last month, I found the right tune for my relaxing moments.

Therefore, let me introduce to you, my latest craving of electric pop; Owl City! The music blended well with the lyrics and every time I listen to one of Owl City songs, I will be escaping myself from the reality to the place where Adam Young’s voice guided me. Awesome!

I tried to find more about Owl City, but all I can found was Owl City’s myspace website and official website. You should check out Owl City’s official site! It is one of the coolest music sites – a direct translation of Owl City’s music!

"Hello, my name is Adam.
I prefer daydreams over reality.
Music is my muse.
I write and record in my basement.
I have trouble sleeping.
These songs are all I have to show for my sleepless nights.
I hope you enjoy them as much as I enjoyed creating them.
It means the world to know someone is out there listening.
You have no idea how much I appreciate you.
Thank you."

- Adam Young, the genius behind Owl City

Okay, I must admit that I have a man crush with Adams; both Adam Young and Adam Lambert (check out how gay Adam Lambert in this post) that is – BTW, can’t wait for American Idol finale, but then, I would be falling for everyone that could leaves me with a warm feeling inside especially after hours in front of my laptop. See you again next time! I hope I had more time online this week. Miss you guys and thanks for your support! Happy Monday!

Check out Owl City - Hot Air Balloon! A new single will be out every month! Just sign up at the Owl City's official website to download this awesome song! And no, this is not a paid post. I here just for the music!

We wrote a prelude
To our own fairy tale
And bought a parachute
At a church rummage sale

And with a mean sewing machine
And miles of thread
We sewed the day above L.A.
In navy and red

We wound a race track
Through your mom's kitchen chairs
And fought the shadows back
Down your dark basement stairs

I lit a match, then let it catch
To light up the room
And then you yelled as we beheld
An old maroon hot air balloon

I'll be out of my mind
And you'll be out of ideas
Pretty soon
So let's spend
The afternoon in a cold hot air balloon
Leave your jacket behind
Lean out and touch the treetops over town
I can't wait
To kiss the ground
Wherever we touch back down

La la la la la laaa
La la la la la laaa

We drank the Great Lakes
Like cold lemonade
And both got stomach aches
Sprawled out in the shade

So bored to death you held your breath
And I tried not to yawn
You made my frown turn upside down
And now my worries are gone

I'll be out of my mind
And you'll be out of ideas
Pretty soon
So let's spend
The afternoon in a cold hot air balloon
Leave your jacket behind
Lean out and touch the treetops over town
I can't wait
To kiss the ground
Wherever we touch back down

I'll be out of my mind
And you'll be out of ideas
Pretty soon
So let's spend
The afternoon in a cold hot air balloon
Leave your jacket behind
Lean out and touch the treetops over town
I can't wait
To kiss the ground
Wherever we touch back down
