[The New Pornographers - The Surprise Knock lyrics]
Drive off the map into the realm of the stars
Didn't need a war, but now this one is ours
Smile along until the coast is clear
Like anything that you will learn to fear
Let it play in the background
Tune out the sound
Didn't need a war but we got one now
We'll ride the chords as
They repeat for years
We may be on, be on to something here
The logic's from before
Now we're inside the C4
Drifting like proper castaways
Didn't need a war but it's here, I'd say
So smile big until it's thrown us clear
We might be on, be on to something here
The logic's from before
Now we're inside the C4
And then the surprise knock on your door
The surprise knock on your door
The surprise knock on your door
Drive off the map and take the long way round
Didn't know the score but we
Knew we were down
It won't be long until we grind the gears
But carry on, we're on to something here
The logic's from before
Now we're inside the C4
And then the surprise knock on your door
The surprise knock on your door
The surprise knock on your door
Drive off the map 'til the horizon bleeds
Didn't need a war but we got one, see
We had it wrong when it was all so clear
We might be on, be on to something here
Drifting like proper castaways
Didn't need a war but it's here, I'd say
So smile big until it's thrown us clear
We might be on, be on to something here
And then the surprise knock on your door
The surprise knock on your door
The surprise knock on your door
The surprise knock on your door
Didn't need a war, but now this one is ours
Smile along until the coast is clear
Like anything that you will learn to fear
Let it play in the background
Tune out the sound
Didn't need a war but we got one now
We'll ride the chords as
They repeat for years
We may be on, be on to something here
The logic's from before
Now we're inside the C4
Drifting like proper castaways
Didn't need a war but it's here, I'd say
So smile big until it's thrown us clear
We might be on, be on to something here
The logic's from before
Now we're inside the C4
And then the surprise knock on your door
The surprise knock on your door
The surprise knock on your door
Drive off the map and take the long way round
Didn't know the score but we
Knew we were down
It won't be long until we grind the gears
But carry on, we're on to something here
The logic's from before
Now we're inside the C4
And then the surprise knock on your door
The surprise knock on your door
The surprise knock on your door
Drive off the map 'til the horizon bleeds
Didn't need a war but we got one, see
We had it wrong when it was all so clear
We might be on, be on to something here
Drifting like proper castaways
Didn't need a war but it's here, I'd say
So smile big until it's thrown us clear
We might be on, be on to something here
And then the surprise knock on your door
The surprise knock on your door
The surprise knock on your door
The surprise knock on your door
