[The New Pornographers - Dreamlike and on the Rush lyrics]
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 it's 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
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 it's 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
