The Raveonettes rocked the JBTV studio with their incredibly catchy jam “Killer in the Streets” off their latest album Pe’ahi [The Beat Dies]. This indie band formed in 2001 in Denmark, when members Sune Rose Wagner and Sharin Foo combined their influences to create dark lyrics and electric sound. Inspired by rock from the 50s and 60s, as well as bands like The Velvet Underground and The Jesus and Mary Chain, the band has released seven albums throughout their career. Pe’ahi was actually a surprise release, as it was released with virtually no promotion and no official release date. This proved to be a successful move, as the record has since received positive reviews, and was on the Billboard 200 charts. Be sure to check out this awesome and dreamy performance right here!
The Raveonettes “Killer In The Streets” Lyrics
You’re raising hell on shore With the widows of love A new sound from the beaches Be quiet hear them roar I got no secrets I got no friends But I got a hold of you They say you’re trouble I say you’re fine I always crossed that line Your rose-colored socks Your sun-bleached hair You piss me off at times I don’t really care
You drop bombs on my head You cut me with cheap knives Make sure I never forget There’s a riot tonight How a raging love Can end and no one wins I hate your delicate smile Like a thief in the night With the coming of spring I jump-start my trip A trip to behold A trip I should skip
You’ll go first and I’ll grieve It’s too much to conceive In dreams I picture this The USS Intrepid in the rain You and I holding hands While evil runs through your veins At night they come to make you feel small Or maybe they don’t come at all I’ve seen you cry I’ve seen it all I’ve seen your downfall Was it true or did you make it all up I’m through I have to stop Then out of the blue Like a B52 You drop a bomb cuckoo And it’s over thank you
