The New Pornographers - The Speed of Luxury lyrics

Once your vision grew clear
You could not hang around
Once you'd blown it sky high
You did not get the ground

But, you can swing your perfect
Body across the sky
When you can swing your perfect
Body across the sky

Travel sunrise around through the
Dark end of day
Science circles the stars sitting
Off of the edge
On stars you wish, for stars you fall
You fall back to earth
Back to her, back to her go
Back to her, back to her go

Once you drew the guide light
Part and parcel of God
But God and his children fight until
They forget why they fought

When they can swing their perfect
Bodies across the sky
When they can swing their perfect
Bodies across the sky

Travels sunrise around
Round the dark end of day
Measure time by your path
By your path as it strays

On stars you wish, for stars you fall
You fall back to earth
Back to her, back to her go
Back to her, back to her go
Back to her, back to her go
Back to her, back to her go
