Wolf Parade - Language City lyrics

Language City is a bad old place we all know
Where eyeballs float in space we all know

We're tired we can't sleep
It's crowded here none of us leave
Language City don't mean a thing to me
Audiences, the same program is always on
I didn't fail, it's best to avoid the law
When your wife wakes up and sees
Shut the blinds and block out the street
Language City don't mean a thing to me

All this working, just to tear it down
All this working, just to tear it down

Language City is a bad old place we all know
Eyeballs float in space we all know

We're tired we can't sleep
It's crowded here none of us leave
Language City don't mean a thing to me

I been here so long my heart is a parking lot
Hollow feet, rooted to the spot
But the fields are beyond belief
From the tower out to where I can see
Language City don't mean a thing to me
All this working, just to tear it down
All this working, just to tear it down

And on the telephone, on the telephone
On the telephone
Somebody's counting the hours

And in a paper room, in a paper room
In a paper room
Somebody's counting the hours

And now I know it's true, in a golden room
In a golden room
Somebody's counting the hours, the
Hours, the hours, the hours

Oh the long bitter road let us down
Oh the ringing telephone
There's no one around

We are not at home we are not at home
We are not at home we are not at home
We are not at home we are not at home

We are not at home we are not at home
We are not at home we are not at home
We are not at home we are not at home
Hang on the telephone hang on the telephone
Hang on the telephone hang on the telephone
