Wolf Parade - Apologies To The Queen Mary (2005) by Wolf Parade (보컬) on maniadb.com

I got a number on me
I got a number
Won't make it through the high noon sun
Well I am my father's son
And I am my father's son
His bed is made

And I was a hero
Early in the morning
I ain't no hero
In the night

I am my father's son

And I'll build a house inside of you
I'll go in through the mouth
I'll draw three figures on your heart
One of them will be me as a boy
And one of them will be me
And One of them will be me watching you run
Watching you run
Into the high noon sun
Watching you run
Farther than guns will go
You are a runner
With a stolen voice
And you are a runner
And I am my father's son

I am my father's son
I am my father's son

I'm not in love with the modern world
I'm not in love with the modern world
It was a torch driving the savages back to the trees

Modern world has more ways
And I don't mention it since it's changed
While the people go out and the people come home again

It's gotta last to build up your eyes
And a lifetime of red skies
And from my bed the sound of your haunted hissing in my bed

Modern world don't ask why
Cause modern world will build things high
Now they house canyons filled with life

Modern world I'm not pleased to meet you
You just bring me down
Modern world I'm not pleased to meet you
You just bring me down
Modern world I'm not pleased to meet you
You just bring me down
Modern world I'm not pleased to meet you
You just bring me down

You said you hate the sound
Of the buses on the ground
You said you hate the way they scrape their brakes all over town
Said pretend it's whales
Keeping their voices down
Such were the grounds for divorce I know

On the radio
And the bouncing body drone
Found eighteen reasons I can't pick up on the phone
Said look at the clouds
It's a show all on its own
Such were the grounds for divorce I know

But the darling is dead
We hit her on the head
It looked like a wedding cake
But the darling is dead
We hit her on the head
It looked like a newlywed

But I look at the lovers
And they way they stand
And the way they move and the way move their hands

And I look at their babies
And their tiny little hands
And the way they get loved and the way they get loved

Oh look at the lovers
And they way they stand
And the way they move and the way move and the way move their hands

Said you hate the sound
Of the buses on the ground
Said you hate the way they scrape their brakes all over town
Said pretend it's whales
Keeping their voices down
Such were the grounds for divorce I know

Looked like a newlywed

On the radio
And the bouncing body drone
Found eighteen reasons I can't pick up on the phone
Said look at the clouds
It's a show all on its own
Such were the grounds, such were the grounds for divorce I know

At the party we got chained at the wrists
Outside there's girls saying
It's not gonna be just only a kiss
Everyone's disguised just a little bit
I had a bad bad time tonight
I had a bad bad time tonight
Bad things happen in the night
Where we built another world
Styles surround you here comes the night time
Where we built another world

Evening time
I made a loud sound and shake some teeth
Saw the lights pale across the street
It's not gonna be just only a kiss
Everyone's disguised just a little bit
I had a bad bad time tonight
I had a bad bad time tonight
Bad things happen in the night
Where we built another world

Styles surround you here comes the night time
Where we built another world
Evening time
Where we built another world
Hang ghosts from the trees and that's what I saw
Where we built another world
Hang ghosts from the trees and that's what I saw
Where we built another world
Where we built another world
Where we built another world
Here comes the night time

Oh, behold
The parapet's fallen out
Oh, behold!
When it reaches the ground
Oh, behold
Oh, behold
When
We can sing
To cracks in the crossbeams
We can sing
Very very quietly
We can sing
We can sing for each other

Until then don't tear your hair out
I won't tear it out if you don't

When I die
I'm leaving you my feet
When you die
You can stand up for me
Make a lie and all they can do is put me in your hair I'll be happy there
Oh oh
Oh oh
Oh oh

Oh, behold
When my parapet has fallen out
Oh, behold
Lift it up off the ground
Oh, behold then
Oh, behold then
We can sing then
Oh, behold then

When you're on your own
Spread out on the map
Dead
The highway's endless drone
Something familiar
And how we love the seasons that hide in our stomachs
That howl and howl and howl as if Dropped from the great height
And I thought the hours that lie in the kitchen

They drag him, drag him, drag into black night
Dropped from the great height
It was strange
Constant blue
And the same ghost every night

I go walking
Just to find
My own breath my own breath through the path
I go walking
Just to find
My own breath my own breath through the path
Dropped from the great height
It was strange

Constant blue
And the same ghost every night
It was strange
Constant blue
And the same ghost every night
I go walking
Just to find
My own breath, my own breath through the path
I go walking

We are raised up very high
We are raised up very high
My own breath

I keep my head uptight
I make my plans at night
And I don't sleep I don't sleep I don't sleep 'til it's light
Something's flowing, someone buried alive
There is an awful sound
This haunted town
And it will not it will not it will not just be quiet
Some ghosts sing. Someone get called to the life

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
It's only six. Someone get called to the life

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 on tight
I make my plans at night
And I don't sleep I don't sleep I don't sleep 'til it's light
Pulse flowing, someone buried alive
And if that head opens we built a life of work
Where we're chain chain chain chain, chained to the life
But 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

I got a hand
So I got a fist
So I got a plan
It's the best that I can do
Now we say, it's in God's hands
But God doesn't always have the best goddamn plans, does he?
I ain't quite the beauty
Who holds up two guns and shoots at the pretty, pretty view
And, God, I keep thinking things - hunters and kings
To block out the view
I gotta get a new bell to ring
A new song to sing
A steady hand to ring
A readiness of things
A new plan to bring to the people
People I can trick 'em into thinking anything
Ya-ho
And you rust it just right in the light, it's gold, it's golden
Ya-ho
I got watering holes in my hands
I'm a digger of holes in the land of holes
Ya-ho
It's the easiest way
Ya-oh
It's the easiest way
Ya-ho
It's the easiest way
Ya-ho
It's the easiest way
Hey
So I go

La la la la la la
La la la la la la
La la la la la la
I got water and I got holes, oh
La la la la la la
Sons and daughters of hungry ghosts, oh
La la la la la la
I got water and I got holes, oh
La la la la la la
The sons and daughters of hungry ghosts, oh, go, go
La la la la la la
I got water and I got holes, oh
La la la la la la
Sons and daughters of hungry ghosts, oh, go, go
I got a hand (La la la la la la)
So I got a fist
So I got a plan, it's the best I can do
Say, is it in God's hands? (La la la la la la)
But God doesn't always have the best goddamn plans, does he?
Say, la la la la la la
I can't believe in the guns, I can't believe in the view
I sing, say, say (La la la la la la)
I can't believe in those hunters and kings
Ya-oh
Say, la la la la la la
I got a new plan to bring
I got a new song to sing, it goes
La la la la la la
I got a new plan to bring and you know
Ya-ho
It's the easiest way (La la la la la la)
Ya-ho
It's the easiest way (La la la la la la)
Ya-ho
It's the easiest way (La la la la la la)
Ya-ho
It's the easiest way (La la la la la la)
Hey
So I go

Give me your eyes, I need sunshine
Give me your eyes, I need sunshine
Your blood, your bones, your voice, and your ghost

We've both been very brave
Walk around with both legs
Fight the scary day
We both pulled the tricks out of our sleeves, but
I'll believe in anything and you'll believe in anything
Said I'll believe in anything and you'll believe in anything

If I could get the fire out from the wire
I'd share a life and you'd share a life
If I could take the fire out from the wire
I'd share a life and you'd share a life
If I could take the fire out from the wire
I'd take you where nobody knows you and
Nobody gives a damn

I said nobody knows you and
Nobody gives a damn

And I could take another hit for you
And I could take away your trips from you
And I could take away the salt from your eyes
Take away what's been assaulting you
And I could give you my apologies
By handing over all the olive trees
And I could take away your shaky knees
And I could give you all the olive trees
And look at the trees and look at my face and look at a place far away from here

So give me your eyes, I need sunshine
Give me your eyes, I need sunshine
Your blood, your bones, your voice, and your ghost
We've both been very brave
Walk around with both legs
Fight the scary day
We both pulled the tricks right out of our sleeves
But I'll believe in anything and you'll believe in anything

If I could take the fire out from the wire
I'd share a life and you'd share a life
If I could take the fire out from the wire
I'd share a life and you'd share a life
If I could take the fire out from the wire
I'd take you where nobody knows you and
Nobody gives a damn
I said nobody knows you
And nobody gives a damn

I said nobody knows you
And nobody gives a damn either way
About your blood, your bones, your voice, and your ghost
Because nobody knows you
And nobody gives a damn either way
You know I'll believe in anything and you'll believe in anything
Because nobody knows you
And nobody gives a damn either way

I heard all your reasons
I heard all your plans
I have seen the seasons
Clutched up in your hands
You're the one eyed feather
You're the lion's mane
Swear you've heard the weather
Calling out your name
There'll be no more winters
There'll be no more spring and
There'll be no more dinner bells
Left for you to ring
There'll be no more dinner bells
Dinner bells to ring
Maestro learns the music
Musicians learn to dance
There'll be no more trumpets
There'll be no more flutes
No more clapping hands
I've heard all your reasons
I've heard all your plans
I heard of your treasons
and I've heard all your pleas
And i've made friends with the hang man
So there'll be no more winter
There'll be no more spring and
There'll be no more dinner bells
Left for you to ring
There'll be no more dinner bells
Dinner bells to ring
There'll be no more dinner bells
Dinner bells to ring
There'll be no more dinner bells
Dinner bells to ring

Sometimes they rock and roll
Sometimes they stay at home and it's just fine
This heart's on fire
This heart's on fire
This heart's on fire
This heart's on fire

I am my mother's hen
and left the body in the bed all day
We don't know what to do
This heart's on fire
This heart's on fire
This heart's on fire
This heart's on fire

A thousand made-up loves
What makes the sound of surf once you know you're alive?
This heart's on fire
This heart's on fire
This heart's on fire
This heart's on fire

It's getting better all the time
It's getting better all the time
This heart's on fire
This heart's on fire
This heart's on fire
This heart's on fire

And you're my favourite thing
tell it everywhere I go
I don't know what to do
This heart's on fire
This heart's on fire
This heart's on fire
This heart's on fire

Sometimes they rock and roll
I'd rather stay at home in real life
This heart's on fire
This heart's on fire
This heart's on fire
This heart's on fire

It's getting better all the time
It's getting better all the time
It's getting better all the time
It's getting better all the time

This heart's on fire
This heart's on fire
This heart's on fire
This heart's on fire
This heart's on fire
This heart's on fire
This heart's on fire
This heart's on fire
