Tragically Hip - The Modern Spirit lyrics

rate me

In the dark before the trainJust beyond the barn glowWhere no dissident remainsDriving it like we stole itSnow falling, a silver poetTo concentrate the gallowsAnd subtracting us like the wolf doesDriving it like we stole itBut we're getting nearer, nearerGetting near that modern spirit, yeahI can hear it, hear it, hear itI can hear that modern spiritOn the open road for boysA white and an open throatNight slips back with no noiseInside the hitch-hiker's coatBut we're getting nearer, nearerGetting near that modern spirit, yeahI can hear it, hear it, hear itI can hear the modern spirit, yeahCan't you just hear it, hear it, hear it?Winter counting everything, we're near itWe're getting nearer nearer, nearerFriendship changing everything, we're near itI can hear itIs this the modern spirit?Is this the modern spirit, yeahIs this the modern spiritThis is the modern spirit, yeahThis is the modern spiritThis is the modern spirit, yeahThis is the modern spiritThis is the modern spirit, yeahYeah? Yeah
