The New Pornographers - Fortune lyrics

[The New Pornographers - Fortune lyrics]

There's a straight line between
Suburbia and graveyards
And as we wander zigzag
Short mysteries on our side
Then she reads them to me
As we lunch on Sunday
Picnic baskets on the grave
Of the Lola Montez

Bingo games and black lights
Apocalyptic walking apologies accepted
Spurred by a shared design
Something fled on Henry
Blazing blue down Cobb Street
We surround it, singing, "Here, king
Accept your reign!"

I was the lucky one, too, all the same
(I was the lucky one all the same)
In the summer of my ball of flame
(In the summer of my ball of flame)


I had to rock myself in it's arms
Forgiven in the face of fortune
And with the lucky one, too, it broke apart
(And with the lucky one broke apart)
Into pieces that were sold as art
(Into pieces that were sold as art)
I had to rock myself in some
Famous places to replace my fortune
To replace my fortune to replace my fortune

A dance we turn on rest here
Left like breadcrumbs for you
Dropped from these skyscrapers
Pieces from knots and loaves
Apocryphal and shining come the
New crop circles
Our avenging angels singing in a secret code

I was the lucky one, too, all the same
(I was the lucky one all the same)
In the summer of my ball of flame
(In the summer of my ball of flame)
I had to rock myself in it's arms
Forgiven in the face of fortune

And with the lucky one, too, it broke apart
(And with the lucky one broke apart)
Into pieces that were sold as art
(Into pieces that were sold as art)
I had to rock myself in some
Famous places to replace my fortune
I had to rock myself in some
Famous places to replace my fortune
I had to rock myself in some
Famous places to replace my fortune
I had to rock myself in some
Famous places to replace my fortune
