Rule Number One Lyrics

Two tornadoes touch down in Kansas
Instinct takes over, instinct commands us
Mostly O.K., but I'm bleeding profusely
Mostly O.K., but only on Tuesdays

The six other days I'm pacing the ring
Ripping down stars while I deal with this thing
God only knows the hell that I chose
Ripping down stars while I stand on my toes


Two Tornadoes touch down in Kansas
Instinct takes over, instinct commands us
Stare at the moon in a memory lapse
Wind up the clock, total collapse
Pop rocks and coke make your head explode
Pop rocks and coke make your head explode


From the field I can see you in the stands
Drinking lemonade spinning like a ceiling fan
So haunting, so confusing
Ice cream is goose, Linus and Lucy


Rule number one can't escape my throat
Pop rocks and coke make your head explode


Two tornadoes touch down in Kansas
Instinct takes over, instinct commands us
Mostly O.K., but I'm bleeding profusely
Mostly O.K., but only on Tuesdays

The six other days I'm pacing the ring
Ripping down stars while I deal with this thing
God only knows the hell that I chose
Ripping down stars while I stand on my toes!
(Stand on my toes)
Stand on my toes!
Ripping down stars while I stand on my toes!
(Stand on my toes)
Stand on my toes!

From the field I can see you in the stands
Drinking lemonade spinning like a ceiling fan
So haunting, so confusing
Ice cream is goose, Linus and Lucy


But Derek..
It's Monday night
And you're high as a kite watching Lion King
You can't feel a thing, but your knee hurts
Heartbeats are speeding by

It's the fight of your life
Are you proud of yourself?
Are you doubting yourself?
Are you proud of yourself?

You lost it, bought a rifle, took it home
Put it in the corner of your closet
But it's not on your mind yet, oh no
No it's not on your mind yet

I'm gonna stand on my toes ripping stars down
There will be no end to my rainmaking
I'm gonna stand on my toes ripping stars down
There will be no end to my rainmaking

It's the fight of your life
Are you proud of yourself?
Are you doubting yourself?
Are you proud of yourself?

Sleigh Bells is an electronic and noise pop duo formed in 2008 in Brooklyn, New York, USA. The band members are Alexis Krauss (vocalist, lyricist) and Derek E. Miller (songwriter, guitarist, producer). Miller was formerly the guitarist for the hardcore band Poison the Well, and Krauss was a member of the teen pop group RubyBlue.

In 2008, Miller was waiting tables at a neighborhood Brazilian restaurant, Miss Favela, where he encountered Alexis and her mother. When he mentioned he was looking for a female vocalist to work with on a musical project, Krauss' mother immediately volunteered her. After steadily gaining popularity throughout 2009, Sleigh Bells signed to M.I.A.'s label N.E.E.T. in Spring 2010.

The duo released the 7-track EP Sleigh Bells. The EP received much attention and all but the last two tracks were re-recorded for their debut album.

Sleigh Bells issued the single "Tell 'Em" as a free download in April 2010. On 11 May 2010, they released their debut full-length album entitled Treats. Amidst blown-out drum beats, fuzzed guitars and synth-pop sensibilities, Krauss balances each song with a voice that is both forceful and elegant. Four other singles supported the album: "Crown on the Ground", "Infinity Guitars", "Rill Rill" and "Riot Rhythm".

Sleigh Bells began recording songs for their second studio album in June 2011. Describing the sound of the new album, Krauss said, "It sounds really huge, so there's going to still be tons of volume".

On 15 December 2011, the band released the single "Born To Lose", followed in January 2012 by "Comeback Kid". The second album, Reign of Terror, was released on 21 February 2012.
