Album: Pretty. Odd (2008)

License This Song 

• Lying there with a halo in her hair
  She cried "there are feathers everywhere"
  But it's fine, you do this all the time
  
  Crying now through a rusted smile
  She knows this isn't how he paid the bills before
  Drug farm entrepreneur
  
  Go spin circles for me
  Wound relentlessly
  Around the words we used to sling
  Oh, such torturous things
  Always chewing up the only ones I ever mean
  
  If you're goin', then go
  Go, go, go
  If you're goin', then go
  Go, go, go
  
  Watch love get strangled by a kite's cold strings
  Fall comes early and summer leaves
  As a storm with the car keys
  
  Spark your heels up against the picket fence I built
  All your wishes they will sink like stones
  Slowly down a lonely well
  
  Go spin circles for me
  Wound relentlessly
  Around the words we used to sling
  Oh, such torturous things
  Always chewing up the only ones I ever mean
  
  If you're goin', then go
  Go, go, go
  If you're goin', then go
  Go, go, go Writer/s: Brendon Urie, George Ross, Jonathan Walker, Spencer Smith

• Ollie from Point Place, WiEllen, you are right. They would certainly cause a Panic at the Tea Party.
• Carrie from Timaru, New ZealandEllen from Australia, we hate you!! Ahah just joking, but seriously, open your eyes.
• Clb from A Place, VaAt first, I wasn't ahppy with their new album, I missed their old album's style of music. But I respect the band more now, because it shows that they are talented in more than one style of music, and like Leyna said, it shows that they are versatile
• Elicia from Zanesville, OhEllen, since when does the name of a band have anything to do with the type of song it plays?
  
  
  Plus, do really expect these lovely gentleman to play a disco song? Really, I think that just shows that you're not a true Panic! fan.
• Leyna from Sp, - -I don't exactly hear them playing disco hits, Ellen.
  This is one of my favourite songs on the album- it shows just how versatile they are. It's also a gorgeous little tune!
• Ellen from Sydney, Australia... oh, come on guys, You are Panic at the DISCO, not Panic at the TEA PARTY!!!!
