Gold lion's gonna tell me where the light is
Gold lion's gonna tell me where the light is
Take our hands out of control
Take our hands out of control

Now, tell me what you saw
Tell me what you saw
There was a crowd of seeds
Inside, outside
I must have done a dozen each

It was the height I threw, the weight
The shell was crushing you
I've been around a few

Tell me what you saw
I'll tell you what to
Ooh ooh, ooh ooh, ooh ooh, oh oh
Ooh ooh, ooh ooh, ooh ooh, oh oh

Gold lion's gonna tell me where the light is
Gold lion's gonna tell me where the light is
Take our hands out of control
Take our hands out of control

Outside, inside
This is a moon without a tide
We'll build a fire in your eyes
We'll build a fire when the cover's getting brighter
Cold desire, makes a moon without a tide

Tell me what you saw
I'll tell you what to
Ooh ooh, ooh ooh, ooh ooh, oh oh
Ooh ooh, ooh ooh, ooh ooh, oh oh

Ooh ooh, ooh ooh, ooh ooh, oh oh
Ooh ooh, ooh ooh, ooh ooh, oh oh

    The song is about Las Vegas. The Gold Lion is the MGM Grand and it will "show me where the light is" because it's located right next to the Luxor, which has a humongous beam of light shooting out if the top. The rest of the song is metaphorically describing the debauchery (sex, drugs, gambling) that goes on in Vegas. (Take our hands out of control, i.e. gambling addiction)

    What goes on in Vegas, goes into a Yeah Yeah Yeahs song.
