lyrics

There’s the smell of the earth
And the smell of the earth burning
And the long line, like worms,
We burrow-burrowed in

There's the action in the east
It's a crack in the egg
They'll stay standing still until
The bishop finds a vein

And there are things
I'm afraid to sing
For fear that songs come true
And then there is everything else
And then there is you

And then there’s the queen
Oh the old queen
She finally died
La dada dada

And there are things
I'm afraid to sing
For fear that songs come true
And then there is everything else
And then there is you

Everyone is poor now
Like it always should've been
The king took the cow
But we did the reconnaissance

Everyone is poor now
Like it always should've been
We drained the cow so hollow
We could pop her with a pin

And there are things
I'm afraid to sing
For fear that songs come true
And then there is everything else
And then there is you

Wolf Parade have always been a great synth band but the new emphasis on the guitars is really working. The production is awesome. daxi
