What are the lyrics to the song 'Lake Effect Kid' by Fall Out Boy?

Question

I know they didn't release the lyrics, but is there anybody out there who thinks they may have them figured out? I would really appreciate it if someone could post their best interpretation of what they think the lyrics are.

Answer 1

Todd has pretty much got it i think, but OMG i love that song!

Sorry, i had to say it, can't wait til the album 'Folie A Deux'!

Answer 2

Sometimes

When I'm in heaven

I get the key for lovelier

Until I eat big guerrilla poison bloods

The heat is on

Speak soft when the seat is down

I got a pocket full of deadliness

Opium den mother, forget my head

At the dead-end called unsteadiness

Boxed blondes have less fun

Boomerang my head

Back to the city I grew up in

Again and again and again

Forever a lake effect kid

I got the skyline in my veins

Forget your night times

Summer love on a gurney with a squeaky wheel

And joke us, joke us,

Til "Lake Shore Drive" comes back into focus

I just want to come back to life

Spark plugs in your head to keep you warm at night

I got a pocket full of deadliness

Opium den mother, forget my head

At the dead end called unsteadiness

Boxed blondes have less fun, fun

Boomerang my head

Back to the city I grew up in

Again and again and again

Forever a lake effect kid

Boomerang my head

Back to the city I grew up in (to the city I grew up in)

Again and again and again

Forever a lake effect kid

Boomerang my head

Back to the city I grew up in

Again and again and again

Forever a lake effect kid

Boomerang my head

Back to the city I grew up in(to the city I grew up in)

Again and again and again

Forever a lake effect kid.

Answer 3

Sometimes

When I'm in heaven

I can forgive for lovelier

Until I eat big, real life poison-bloods

The heat is on

Feet up but the she is down

I got a pocket full of deadliness

Opium den mother, forget my head

At the dead-end called unsteadiness

Boxed blondes have less fun

Boomerang my head

Back to the city I grew up in

Again and again and again

Forever a lake effect kid

I got the skyline in my veins

Forget your night times

Summer love on a gurney with a squeaky wheel

And joke us, joke us,

Til *life's on track* goes back into focus

I just want to come back to love

Spark until you *hit it, keep you warm enough*

I got a pocket full of deadliness

Opium den mother, forget my head

At the dead end called unsteadiness

Boxed blondes have less fun, fun

Boomerang my head

Back to the city I grew up in

Again and again and again

Forever a lake effect kid

Boomerang my head

Back to the city I grew up in (to the city I grew up in)

Again and again and again

Forever a lake effect kid

Boomerang my head

Back to the city I grew up in

Again and again and again

Forever a lake effect kid

Boomerang my head

Back to the city I grew up in(to the city I grew up in)

Again and again and again

Forever a lake effect kid.

Sometimes

When I'm in heaven

I get the key for loving her, woah oh (?)

Until I eat big, real life poison-bloods(?)

The heat is on

Fixed up, and the sheet is down(?)

(?)* indicates where I'm not sure what he says, but I made the best attempt I possibly could. Also posted on plyrics.com but has to be put up. Someone help me fix these lyrics.

*Pete Wentz put up part of the lyrics on his blog. Those edits have been put in.

**pseudo, dually noted. Thanks for the correction.

*** I think luke has it. I concede, good job luke.

Answer 5

Todd, even though Pete posted some of the lyrics in his blog, I really think he says "At the dead-end CALLED unsteadiness" instead of "At the dead-end OF unsteadiness." That's just what I'm hearing though. But you really did a great job with the rest of the song. Thanks for that!
