Arcade Fire - Sprawl II (Mountains Beyond Mountains) lyrics
[Arcade Fire - Sprawl II Mountains Beyond Mountains lyrics]
They heard me singing and they
Told me to stop
Quit these pretentious things and
Just punch the clock
These days, my life, I feel it has no purpose
But late at night
The feelings swim to the surface
'Cause on the surface, the city lights shine
They're calling at me
"Come and find your kind"
Sometimes, I wonder if the world's so small
That we can never get away from the sprawl
Living in the sprawl
Dead shopping malls rise like
Mountains beyond mountains
And there's no end in sight
I need the darkness someone, please
Cut the lights!
We rode our bikes to the nearest park
Sat under the swings and kissed in the dark
You shield my eyes from the police lights
We run away, but we don't know why
Black River, your city lights shine
They're screaming at us
"We don't need your kind"
Sometimes, I wonder if the world's so small
That we can never get away from the sprawl
Living in the sprawl
Dead shopping malls rise like
Mountains beyond mountains
And there's no end in sight
I need the darkness someone, please
Cut the lights!
They heard me singing and they
Told me to stop
Quit these pretentious things and
Just punch the clock
Sometimes, I wonder if the world's so small
Can we ever get away from the sprawl?
Living in the sprawl
Dead shopping malls rise like
Mountains beyond mountains
And there's no end in sight
I need the darkness someone, please
Cut the lights
I need the darkness someone, please
Cut the lights
Told me to stop
Quit these pretentious things and
Just punch the clock
These days, my life, I feel it has no purpose
But late at night
The feelings swim to the surface
'Cause on the surface, the city lights shine
They're calling at me
"Come and find your kind"
Sometimes, I wonder if the world's so small
That we can never get away from the sprawl
Living in the sprawl
Dead shopping malls rise like
Mountains beyond mountains
And there's no end in sight
I need the darkness someone, please
Cut the lights!
We rode our bikes to the nearest park
Sat under the swings and kissed in the dark
You shield my eyes from the police lights
We run away, but we don't know why
Black River, your city lights shine
They're screaming at us
"We don't need your kind"
Sometimes, I wonder if the world's so small
That we can never get away from the sprawl
Living in the sprawl
Dead shopping malls rise like
Mountains beyond mountains
And there's no end in sight
I need the darkness someone, please
Cut the lights!
They heard me singing and they
Told me to stop
Quit these pretentious things and
Just punch the clock
Sometimes, I wonder if the world's so small
Can we ever get away from the sprawl?
Living in the sprawl
Dead shopping malls rise like
Mountains beyond mountains
And there's no end in sight
I need the darkness someone, please
Cut the lights
I need the darkness someone, please
Cut the lights
