The New Pornographers - These Are the Fables lyrics

In coral and grey in submarine chambers
One day it swam for the light
The jewels that lit
The cities that float there
Cities in circles drawn perfect, complete
Holding the secrets on my street
My street, my street

So come in and play the song of the siren
It's commonplace you hear the voice rise
In one wave and crash on your doorstep
Making the circle here perfect, complete
These are the fables on my street

Ten thousand dancing girls
Kicking cans 'cross the sky no reason why
Why ask, prepare yourself
For the call of the wild
You found this child so raise him

And wind your way back
Come back to the river the currents speed by
In hope and then fear the hammer comes down
So hard on the evening
Cracking the dawn of your days on repeat
These are the fables on my street
My street, my street

Heaven shook Hell and down from it's pockets
The ring in your bell
It fell through your hands hang at your feet
The doors that won't open
Marking the journey of our friends complete
These are the fables of my street my street

My street, my street
Lay down in glory you're not alone
