Turn A Square Lyrics


She shone up bright like a knife
Wearing tennis shorts made of stripes
Hand in hand to the grass and we got it right
Got it nice, nice, niceJust a glimpse of an ankle and I
React like it's 1805
And I'd swim to the poles just to find the right satellite
It'll take all of my strength to give upBut you all know I tried
So forget about it, girl
My head's like a kite
When such a creature I sight
To town, where your feet leave no prints on the ground
Have I left my home just to whine in this microphone?
It gets worse every time that we talk, can't afford to be just one in a flock
But that's your lot when you're after such a well-made lock who was classically trained to give upAnd my friends know I tried, so forget about it, girl
Even I don't know why
I can't just stay the course, keep my hands on the wheel
Our detractors were right, my head's like a kite'Cause all my thoughts run astray
And I'm a walking cliché

When such a creature I sight
I just can't, I just can't, I just can't stay the course
Keep my hands on the wheel
Our detractors were right
My head's like a kite

The Shins are an American indie rock band centered around James Mercer.

The band formed in 1997, in Albuquerque, New Mexico, United States as a side project of Mercer (previously of Blue Roof Dinner) and drummer Jesse Sandoval, who were both members of Flake Music. The band's original lineup was Mercer (vocals, guitar), Sandoval (drums), Marty Crandall (keyboards) and Dave Hernandez (bass). Neil Langford replaced Hernandez in 1998. Hernandez returned to the band in 2003, as Langford had left the band in 2001. Hernandez remained in the band until 2009. Fruit Bats keyboardist Eric Johnson joined the band in 2006.

Their debut album, Oh, Inverted World was issued in 2001 and contained the singles "New Slang" and "Caring is Creepy", which were both featured in the 2004 film "Garden State".
