Genghis Khan Lyrics
[Verse 1]
I know there's no form
And no labels to put on
To this thing we keep
And dip into when we need
And I don't have the right
To ask where you go at night
But the waves hit my head
To think someone's in your bed
[Chorus]
I get a little bit Genghis Khan
I don't want you to get it on
With nobody else but me
With nobody else but me
I get a little bit Genghis Khan
Don't want you to get it on
With nobody else but me
With nobody else but me
[Verse 2]
And the lights, they glow
Like I've just lost the World War
And the scene slips away
To the evenness I fake
It's a shit old world
'Cause I don't really want you, girl
But you can't be free
'Cause I'm selfish, I'm obscene
I know there's no form
And no labels to put on
To this thing we keep
And dip into when we need
And I don't have the right
To ask where you go at night
But the waves hit my head
To think someone's in your bed
[Chorus]
I get a little bit Genghis Khan
I don't want you to get it on
With nobody else but me
With nobody else but me
I get a little bit Genghis Khan
Don't want you to get it on
With nobody else but me
With nobody else but me
[Verse 2]
And the lights, they glow
Like I've just lost the World War
And the scene slips away
To the evenness I fake
It's a shit old world
'Cause I don't really want you, girl
But you can't be free
'Cause I'm selfish, I'm obscene
[Chorus]
I get a little bit Genghis Khan
I don't want you to get it on
With nobody else but me
With nobody else but me
I get a little bit Genghis Khan
Don't want you to get it on
With nobody else but me
With nobody else but me
[Bridge]
Ooh, I wanna make up my mind
But I don't know myself
No I don't know myself (me)
Ooh, I wanna make up my mind
But I don't know myself
No I don't know myself (me)
Ooh, I wanna make up my mind
But I don't know myself
No I don't know myself
[Chorus]
And I get a little bit Genghis Khan
I don't want you to get it on
With nobody else but me
With nobody else but me
I get a little bit Genghis Khan
Don't want you to get it on
With nobody else but me
With nobody else but me
I get a little bit Genghis Khan
I don't want you to get it on
With nobody else but me
With nobody else but me
I get a little bit Genghis Khan
Don't want you to get it on
With nobody else but me
With nobody else but me
[Bridge]
Ooh, I wanna make up my mind
But I don't know myself
No I don't know myself (me)
Ooh, I wanna make up my mind
But I don't know myself
No I don't know myself (me)
Ooh, I wanna make up my mind
But I don't know myself
No I don't know myself
[Chorus]
And I get a little bit Genghis Khan
I don't want you to get it on
With nobody else but me
With nobody else but me
I get a little bit Genghis Khan
Don't want you to get it on
With nobody else but me
With nobody else but me
About
Genius Annotation
“Genghis Khan” explores the viewpoint of an irrationally jealous man who’s conflicted about his romantic feelings.
The song is the second single off of Miike Snow’s third album, suitably named iii.
The music video is a James Bond parody with nods to Goldfinger and Dr. No. A supervillain is torn between his stereotypical 50s family and his crush on a spy he’s taken captive.
