Wolf Parade - Shine a Light lyrics

I keep my head up tight
I make my plans at night
And I don't sleep, I don't sleep
I don't sleep 'til it's light
Some folks float, some are buried alive

There is an awful sound, this haunted town
It will not, it will not
It will not just be quiet some ghosts sink
Some will get called to the light

I spend boring hours in the office tower
In a bus, on a bus back home to you
And that's fine I'm barely alive
It's just a matter of time
No one gets out alive
And I'm content, I'm content
I'm content to be quiet some will sink
Some will get called to the light

You know our hearts beat time out very slowly
You know our hearts beat time
They're waiting for something
That'll never arrive

You know our hearts beat time out very slowly
You know our hearts beat time
They're waiting for something
That'll never arrive

I keep my head up tight
I make my plans at night
And I don't sleep, I don't sleep
I don't sleep 'til it's light
Some folks float, some are buried alive

With our little boots, we built another world
Where we're chain, chain, chain, chain
Chained to the light
That's fine, our blood is alive

You know our hearts beat time out very slowly
You know our hearts beat time
They're waiting for something
That'll never arrive
