North East South West (Explicit)

North East South West (东南西北) - Japandroids

Bated breath and the guts to go

Criss crossing the continent all aglow

Leaving lovelorn dating destiny

And living for the moment that she marries me

Started this song in the southern states

Rays by the river sinning at the saints

Hot and heavy when I hit the hay

In N O L A USA

Coast of California the highway high

Noise narcotics and the New York night

An unshaven shaman shaking down the day

And all manner of madness standing in my way

Down in flames with dice to roll

Up in smoke running roulette road

And man America made a mess of me

When I messed with Texas and Tennessee

North east south west coast to coast

Baby the trouble that I get into

North east south west coast to coast

It ain't sh*t compared to loving you

North east south west coast to coast

Baby the trouble that I get into

North east south west coast to coast

It ain't sh*t it's just kicks

And like the road I'm going on and on and on

Flayed and gutted so I've got to go

Back home hungry for a hand to hold

And no matter how much I fan the flames

Canada always answers when I call her name

Down and out drinking Dundas dry

Up against the wall of a winter's night

Toronto I'm trusting you to the cut the cane

'Cause I'm saving Vancouver for a rainy day

North east south west coast to coast

Baby the trouble that I get into

North east south west coast to coast

It ain't sh*t compared to loving you

North east south west coast to coast

Baby the trouble that I get into

North east south west coast to coast

It ain't sh*t it's just kicks

And like the road I'm going on and on and on

Learn to let it go baby

Shake rattle and roll baby

Out of the city you've seen

And into some trouble with me

We'll go north east south west

We'll go north east south west

We'll go north east south west

We'll go north east south west
