Arcade Fire - Ready To Start lyrics

rate me

Businessmen drink my blood

Like the kids in art school said they would

And I guess I'll just begin again

You say can we still be friends

If I was scared

I would

And if I was bored

You know I would

And if I was yours

But I'm not

All the kids have always known

That the emperor wears new clothes

But to *bow down* to them anyway

Is better than to be alone

If I was scared

I would

And if I was bored

You know I would

And if I was yours

But I'm not

Now you're knocking at my door

Saying please come out against the night

But I would rather be alone

*Then* pretend I feel alright

If the businessmen drink my blood

Like the kids in art school said they would

Then I guess I'll just begin again

You say can we still be friends

If I was scared

I would

And if I was pure

You know I would

And if I was yours

But I'm not

Now I'm ready to start

If I was scared

I would

And if I was pure

You know I would

And if I was yours

But I'm not

Now I'm ready to start

I would rather be wrong

Than live in the shadows of your song

My mind is open wide

And now I'm ready to start

Your mind surely opened the door

To step out into the dark

Now I'm ready
