Andrew Bird, Nora O’Connor - Near Death Experience Experience lyrics

You used to be like toffee
Between the kitten's teeth
You used to build arid shelters
Out of sticks and leaves
And spend the whole day underneath
You used to be like copper
Pliable but strong
You used to smile and nod, say "you're right"
Be polite when you know
That everybody's wrong
Know that everybody's wrong
Know that everybody's wrong
Know that everybody's wrong
So you dare the plane to crash
Redeem the miles for cash when
It starts to dive
And we'll dance like cancer survivors
Like we're grateful simply to be alive

Dare the plane to crash
Redeem the miles for cash
And we'll dance like cancer survivors
Like your prognosis was that
You should've died no, there's nothing wrong
There's nothing wrong when it starts to down
And we'll dance like cancer survivors
Like we're grateful simply to be alive
No, there's nothing wrong
There's nothing wrong when it starts to down
And we'll dance like cancer survivors
