Dreamlike And On The Rush - The New Pornographers

We’ve spent too long at the western front

Wasted our words sleeping over there

You can talk yourself into anything

And I can see the Cold War in the whites of your eyes

We like our bolts straight from the blue

But we will need something stronger too

To bend the moral arc of the universe

Didn’t need to show work before you pass

But you hit the glass

Stripped down, you’re dreamlike and on the rush

Stripped down, you’re dreamlike and on the rush

Some of us will rise, some of us are looser

With the way that we define what it is we do here

We summoned the mirage, and some of us will go far

Some of us collapsing into a new star

You pulled some strings but you lose the thread

Lived like a king but the king is dead

You were pulling off the odd all-nighter then

Now you gotta prove that baby was one of us

One of us, none of us, one of us

None of us, one of us could have busted it up

Anger has a momentum its own

Call it up from the minors, it’s going into the show

With all the crime in the family

With all the crime in the family

Stripped down, you’re dreamlike and on the rush

Stripped down, you’re dreamlike and on the rush

Only want the bold strokes of the plot

Either write your name in the book of life or kill the lights

Stripped down, you’re dreamlike and on the rush

Stripped down, you’re dreamlike and on the rush

Some of us will rise, some of us are looser

With the way that we define what it is we do here

We summoned the mirage, and some of us will go far

Some of us collapsing into a new star

We summoned the mirage, and some of us will go far

Some of us collapsing into a new star
