lyrics

Slouched on a curb
Of a Berlin hotel
One I doubt is aging well
Nothing like that ever will

I let taxi after taxi
After taxi go by
I could feel life shifting
Like a tremor in the ground

Now I wonder
In an evenhanded way
Where I’d be had I raised
My forsaken hand

Would I be a flame
In the great hall of smoke
Or another man overboard

I would have not have dared say
Stop the car
For I know I'm no hopeless romantic

I would have not have dared say
Stop the car
Gone all the way to Montreal
Instead of flying back to you

Flying back to you...

A fork in the path is
What most would say
I say a fulcrum between
The past and today

And if that's the hammer
That forges the blade
In the steel I see rainbows
And I'm okay

A prism in the puddle
On our street where the kid
Likes to kick his little boots of blue

If I had found
Some other meaning of truth
Would I be lost in the look of someone
Not at all like you

Or if I had found
Some other meaning of truth
Would I find myself still
Flying back to you

Flying back to you...

I let taxi after taxi go by
So show me those rainbows...

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