[Dirty Projectors, Syd - Right Now lyrics]
The sky has darkened, earth turned to hell
Some said a light got
Shined where darkness dwelt
So I won't cry or collapse, overwhelmed
Time like a song just
Might rhyme with it'self
I don't know how I'm going to be a better man
I don't know how I'm going
To reach the Promised Land
I don't know how I'm going to
Get you to take my hand
But, I'm going to try and I know when
Now (now) right now (now)
Right now (now) right now (now)
Right now, now (now) right now, now (now)
Right now, now (now) right now
Soon the earth may dissolve like snow
We'll meet again in the air all bound to glow
And I am glad that I got to know
I might sing the melody
But, I don't set the tempo
Who draws the true straw from
The fist that's clasped?
Who pulls the new rope through
The loopholes of the past?
Better hurry up for the first
Shall be the last
Better sound the trumpet before the blast
Now (now) right (now)
Now, right (now) now, right now (now)
Right now (now) now, right now (now)
Now, right now (now) now, right now
You pulled me up when you took my hand
There was silence in my heart
And now I'm striking up the band
They lit the bonfire but now
We can light the lamp
Now (now) right now (now)
Right now (now) right now (now)
Right now, now (now) right now (now, now)
Right now (now, now) right now (now, now)
Right now (now, now) right now (now, now)
Right now (now)
Now, right now, now, now, now, now
Some said a light got
Shined where darkness dwelt
So I won't cry or collapse, overwhelmed
Time like a song just
Might rhyme with it'self
I don't know how I'm going to be a better man
I don't know how I'm going
To reach the Promised Land
I don't know how I'm going to
Get you to take my hand
But, I'm going to try and I know when
Now (now) right now (now)
Right now (now) right now (now)
Right now, now (now) right now, now (now)
Right now, now (now) right now
Soon the earth may dissolve like snow
We'll meet again in the air all bound to glow
And I am glad that I got to know
I might sing the melody
But, I don't set the tempo
Who draws the true straw from
The fist that's clasped?
Who pulls the new rope through
The loopholes of the past?
Better hurry up for the first
Shall be the last
Better sound the trumpet before the blast
Now (now) right (now)
Now, right (now) now, right now (now)
Right now (now) now, right now (now)
Now, right now (now) now, right now
You pulled me up when you took my hand
There was silence in my heart
And now I'm striking up the band
They lit the bonfire but now
We can light the lamp
Now (now) right now (now)
Right now (now) right now (now)
Right now, now (now) right now (now, now)
Right now (now, now) right now (now, now)
Right now (now, now) right now (now, now)
Right now (now)
Now, right now, now, now, now, now
