"Pancake Karma" lyrics - MARINA AND THE DIAMONDS

They fell out
Into the navy night
With smiles of stone!
Walking down
Roads that glittered
With winter light and snow!

Linking thin arms
They swam a sea
A soul sea
Gleefully cackling
Bitter and twisted
Burning like golden rings!
It was the burning of the bright young things

Not a penny on them
But they had expensive needs!
Flying down hot city streets!
Country and the city mouse
Found an old, Dutch pancake house!
Ordered a plate of syrupy lies!

Yeah, they ate them all up
And licked the plate dry
Ordered, ate, left without paying
Syrupy syrupy lies!

Ran down the streets
With pancake gods saying
"We can see your guilty, guilty eyes!"
Tonight a pancake thief dies!

Run as fast as you can
Run as fast as you can!
Run as fast as you can
As fast as you can
As fast as you can!

Because pancake karma
Is coming for you!
Pancake karma is coming for you!
Drunk kids never pay for food
Gives the gods a foul mood
Pancake karma is come - is coming
For you!

Sleepy when the drinks
Are magical winds
Parting winds
Of the bright things!
Split them apart
Cement on their wake
To places where the pancake gods wait!

One got lost and ended up
In Leighton Stone
Other missed the train
Lost his wallet
Manbag, and his phone!
60 Pounds spent on a
Black cab all the way home
All the way back home
Oh, all the way back home!

Gods chirped
"Oh, you're not so smug anymore
Karma kicked your butt real good!
The next time you try
Making a runner for the door
Don't be tight; just pay for your food
Don't be tight; just pay for your food!"

Run as fast as you can
Run as fast as you can!
Run as fast as you can
As fast as you can
As fast as you can!

Because pancake karma
Is coming for you!
Pancake karma will always ring true!
Drunk kids never pay for food
Gives the pancake gods a foul mood!
Pancake karma is
Come-, is come-
Ooh-ooh!
Is coming for you!
Ooh-ooh!
