Wolf Parade - Oh You, Old Thing lyrics

Oh you old thing
Still got vibrations in your streets
They move me to come down
From the chandelier
I have been watching you from

Bon soir bon soir ma ville
I'm gonna leave you now in the arms of babes
I've got a new way to live
Through the storms you're so famous for -
Oh, that's the sound of some new rocket
Upon the door

Who's gonna steam up all your dancehalls?
Who'll put your lilies in a vase
When all the good men have
Had all their daughters, and
All the other men have
Fallen in with daisies?
Well, I don't want to be
The last one standing
I don't want to reach the bitter end
As much as I have always loved your dancing
I hate the sounds that come from crowds
That just don't get my moves

From here in the sky
I see your rows of lights as a violent web
And I will miss
The way I got caught up in you

Oh you old thing
I'm gonna leave you now in the arms of babes
I've got a new way to live
In the storm, in the storm in the storm
