Dirty Projectors - Emblem of the World lyrics

Hold into light the image that
You drew for me
In it no defeat, in it there is no victory
There is no ceiling
All is just a great expanse
There are no rules, there is only coincidence
There is no ceiling
All is just a great expanse
There are no rules, there is only coincidence

And it looks good from a distance
(I believe what I see, ooh)
You give a pose and it's different
(We agree and we choose to)
A beautiful detail and very dense
(Take my hand when the day is through)

Why should we choose another useless metaphor
Without a regard or a passionate need
I am in your eyes
You have always been in mine


You are the bird singing
While it is recognised

And it looks good from a distance
(I believe what I see, ooh)
You give a pose and it's different
(We agree and we choose to)
A beautiful detail and very dense
(Take my hand when the day is through)

We'll share an emblem of the world
We'll share an emblem of the world
We'll share an emblem of the world

And it looks good from a distance
(I believe what I see, ooh)
You give a pose and it's different
(We agree and we choose to)
A beautiful detail and very dense
(Take my hand when the day is through)

We'll share an emblem of the world
(We'll share an emblem of the world)
We'll share an emblem of the world
(We'll share an emblem of the world)
We'll share an emblem of the world
(We'll share an emblem of the world)
