THE ARCADE FIRE - Sprawl I (flatland) lyrics

rate me

Took a drive into the sprawl

To find the house where we used to stay in

Couldn't read the number in the dark

You said let's save it for another day

Took a drive into the sprawl

To find the places we used to play

It was the loneliest day of my life

You're talking at me but I'm still far away

Let's take a drive

Through the sprawl

Through these towns they built to change

Then you said, the emotions are dead

It's no wonder that you feel so strange

Cops showing their lights

On the reflectors of our bikes

Said, do you kids know what time it is?

Well sir, it's the first time I've felt like something is mine

Like I have something to give

The last defender of the sprawl

Said, well where do you kids live?

Well sir, if you only knew

What the answer is worth

Been searching every corner

Of the earth
