Paul Banks - The Base lyrics

rate me

What I draw today

Will be recognized as shape...

I spoke to the base

And the base says "we wait"

So I smoke an old cigar

While the giant sun fades

See, I spoke to the base

And the base says "we wait"

And the base says we're safe

Now and then I can see the truth above the lies

Now and then...oh I feel, you're truly anesthetized

That's why...

When I walk today

It's in silence and in rain...

Can a man turn the page

While he's trying to amaze?

So I hold my arms apart

But don't deny you any pain

See, I spoke to the base

And the base says "we´re there"

And the base says "we win"

Now and then I can see the truth above the lies

Now and then...oh I feel those beauties, this life belies...

They're like street lights

They tunnel on and on

Into these deep nights

Where the lights circle on...are so steep

So steep...

I count the falling stars

So steep...

Anonymous forces

So steep...

That broken street light

So steep...

Life is like a drug

Sky less night

So steep...

I count the falling stars

So steep...I will not be staying long

Now and then I can see the truth above the lies

Now and then I can see those beauties that shun my eye...

That's why...
