Arcade Fire - I Love Her Shadow

I met her in the moonlight
Holding someone else’s hand
And learned I was a jealous man

All the love in her eyes
Broke me at first sight
We’re breaking into heaven tonight

My brain had disconnected
My body from my heart
She dropped her hammer
And broke me apart

I kissed her at the crossroads
Then jumped another train
We’re breaking into heaven again

I love her shadow
And I love her light
We’re breaking into heaven tonight

I love her shadow
and I love her light
We’re breaking into heaven tonight

Breaking into heaven tonight
We’re breaking into heaven tonight
Breaking into heaven tonight

Want you to tell me everything
About your hometown in the stars
Want to make new constellations
From your permanent scars
We never met but I remember who you are

I remember who you areI love her shadow
And I love her light
We’re breaking into heaven tonight

I love her shadow
And I love her light
We’re breaking into heaven tonight

Breaking into heaven tonight
We’re breaking into heaven tonight
Breaking into heaven tonight
Breaking into heaven tonight
Breaking into heaven tonight
Breaking into heaven tonight

I love her shadow
I love her shadow
I love her shadow

(Never Go)

She loves me
She loves me not
She loves me
She loves me not
She loves me
She loves me not
She loves me
She loves me not
She loves me
She loves me not

Arcade Fire - Signs Of Life

Those cool kids
Stuck in the past
Apartments of cigarette ash
Wait outside until it begins
Won't be the first ones in
Spend your life waiting in line
You find it hard to define
But you do it every time
Then you do it again

Looking for signs of life
Looking for signs every night
But there's no signs of life
So we do it again
Looking for signs of life
Looking for signs every night
But there's no signs of life
So we do it again

First kiss tastes like cigarettes
Dead man walking take your bets
Once again you lost your friends
Around and around again
Those cool kids
Stuck in the past
Apartments of cigarette ash
"Where are we going?"
Who did you ask?
Those cool kids
Stuck in the past
In a world of cigarette ash
"Where are we going?"
Who did you ask?
Who did you ask?

Looking for signs of life
Looking for signs every night
But there's no signs of life
So we do it again
Looking for signs of life
Looking for signs every night
But there's no signs of life
So we do it again

Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday
Friday, Saturday, sometimes Sunday
Love is hard, sex is easy
God in Heaven, could you please me?
You think you invented life
You find it hard to define
But you do it every time
Then you do it again

Looking for signs of life
Looking for signs every night
But there's no signs of life
So we do it again
Still looking for signs of life (Looking for signs of life)
Looking for signs every night
But there's no signs of life
So we do it again

Those cool kids
Stuck in the past
In a world of cigarette ash
"Where are we going?"
Who did you ask?

Looking for signs every night
But there's no signs of life

Arcade Fire - End of The Empire I-III

I. Last Dance

One last dance
Here at the end of the empire
Makes me cry
Watching the moon on the ocean
Where California used to be
It's not half bad, oh
Spend half your life being sad, woah
Well, don't be scared, oh-oh
Just chronically impaired, oh-oh
Just take my hand, oh-oh
Standing at the end of the American Empire

One last song
Here at the end of the movie
They seemed so sure
At lеast that's the way I remembеr the war
When New York used to be
It's not half bad, oh-oh
Spending half your life being sad, woah
Don't you weep, oh-oh
Half your life fast asleep, oh-oh
Feeling uninspired, oh
Standing at the end of the American Empire

II. Last Round

And we know that it's time to go
Heard the news on the radio
One last round before we go
Through the pale atmospheric glow
And the oxygen's getting low
Sing a song that we used to know
One last round before we go
One last round before we go

III. Leave The Light On

(So sad)

Didn't use to get high
Didn't use to drink and I
Didn't use to think I
Could ever dream about losing you

Didn't use to get low
This time of night and I
Didn't use to walk home
In the morning light
Without you
Without you

Didn't use to get high
Didn't use to drink
Didn't use to think I
Could ever dream about losing you, you
But I do

It’s you and I, it’s do or die
Suicide mission, baby by my side
We got one life and half of it’s gone
You know I can’t sleep with the television on

Didn't use to get high
With you by my side
(Leave the light on)

Arcade Fire - Unconditional I (Lookout Kid)

lookout kid
trust your heart
you don’t have to play the part
they wrote for you
just be true
there are things that you can do
that no one else on earth
could ever do
but I can’t teach you
I can’t teach it to you

lookout kid
trust your mind
but you can’t trust it every time
you know it plays tricks on you
and it don’t give a damn
if you are happy or you’re sad
but if you’ve lost it
don’t feel bad
‘cause it’s alright to be sad

lookout kid
trust your body
you can dance
and you can shake
things will break
you make mistakes
you lose your friends again and again
‘cause nothing’s ever perfect
no one’s perfect
let me say it again...
no one’s perfect

a lifetime of skinned knees
and heartbreak comes so easy
but a life without pain would be
boring

and if you feel it it’s fine
I give you everything that’s mine
I give you my heart and my
precious time
lookout kid
trust your soul
it ain’t hard to rock n’roll
you know how to move your hips
and you know God is cool with it
some people want the rock without
the roll
but WE all know there’s no God
without soul
a lifetime of skinned knees
and heartbreak come so easily
but a life without you
would be boring for someone like me...

and if you feel it, it’s fine
I give you everything that’s mine
I give you my heart and my
precious time
I give you my heart and my
precious time
it’s UNCONDITIONAL
no matter what you do
it’s UNCONDITIONAL

Arcade Fire - Age of Anxiety I

It's the age of doubt
And I doubt we'll figure it out
Is it you or is it me?
Age of anxiety
(Are you talking to me?)

Fight the fever with TV
In the age where nobody sleeps
And the pills do nothing for me
In the age of anxiety

When I look at you
I see what you want me to, see what you want me to
When you look at me
See what I want you to see
What I want you to see

In the age of
Living in the age of
Living in the age of
In the age of
Living in the age of
Living in the age of

It's a maze of mirrors
It's a hologram of a ghost
And you can't quite touch it
Which is how it hurts us the most

So we keep it all inside
And hide it deep in a drawer
Say your prayers tonight
Someone finds it after the war

And when I look at you
I see what you want me to, see what you want me to
When you look at me
See what I want you to see
What I want you to see is me

In the age of
Living in the age of
Living in the age of
In the age of
Living in the age of
Living in the age of
Anxiety

Gotta get this spirit out of me
This anxiety that's inside of me
Gotta get the spirit out of me
This anxiety that's inside of me

Gotta get this spirit out of me
This anxiety that's inside of me, baby
Gotta get this spirit out of me
This anxiety that's inside of me, baby

'Cause I can't stop crying and I really think I mean it but
The tears mean nothing to me
Another lost alien arriving on my spaceship in the age of anxiety
We can't stop crying and we really think we mean it
But the tears just fall on the sheets
Another lost soul just trying to feel something
Trying to feel something
Trying to feel something in the age of

Are you talking to me
Or about me?
Am I talking to you
Or about you?

It's all about you
It's all about you
It's all about you (It's not about you)
It's all about you (It's not about you)
It's all about you (It's not about you)
It's all about you (It's not about you)

Arcade Fire - Intervention

The king's taken back the throne
The useless seed is sown
When they say they're cutting off the phone
I tell 'em you're not home

No place to hide
You were fighting as a soldier on their side
You're still a soldier in your mind
Though nothing's on the line

You say it's money that we need
As if we're only mouths to feed
I know no matter what you say
There are some debts you'll never pay

Working for the Church while your family dies
You take what they give you and you keep it inside
Every spark of friendship and love will die without a home
Hear the soldier groan, "We'll go at it alone"

I can taste the fear
Lift me up and take me out of here
Don't wanna fight, don't wanna die
Just wanna hear you cry

Who's gonna throw the very first stone?
Oh! Who's gonna reset the bone?
Walking with your head in a sling
Wanna hear the soldier sing:
"Been working for the Church while my family dies
Your little baby sister's gonna lose her mind
Every spark of friendship and love will die without a home"
Hear the soldier groan "We'll go at it alone.

I can taste your fear
It's gonna lift you up and take you out of here
And the bone shall never heal
I care not if you kneel

We can't find you now
But they're gonna get the money back somehow
And when you finally disappear
We'll just say you were never here

Working for the church while your life falls apart
Singing halleluiah with the fear in your heart
Every spark of friendship and love will die without a home
Hear the soldier groan, "We'll go at it alone"
Hear the soldier groan, "We'll go at it alone"

Arcade Fire - Reflektor

Trapped in a prison,

in a prism of light.

Alone in the darkness,

a darkness of white.

We fell in love,

alone on a stage,

in the reflective age.

Entre la nuit, la nuit et l'aurore.

Entre le royaume des vivants et des morts.

If this is heaven,

I don't know what it's for.

If I can't find you there,

I don't care.

I thought I found a way to enter;

it was just a reflector. (Just a reflector)

I thought I found the connector;

it was just a reflector. (Just a reflector)

Now the signals we send

are deflected again.

We're so connected,

but are we even friends?

We fell in love when I was 19,

and now we're staring at a screen.

Entre la nuit, la nuit et l'aurore.

Entre le royaume des vivants et des morts.

If this is heaven,

I need something more.

Just a place to be alone,

cause you're my home.

I thought I found a way to enter;

it was just a reflector. (Just a reflector)

I thought I found the connector;

it was just a reflector. (Just a reflector)

Just a reflector.

It's just a reflector, just a reflector.

It's just a reflector, just a reflector.

Just a reflector, reflector.

Just a reflector.

Just a reflection of a reflection

of a reflection of a reflection of a reflection (ah!),

but I see you on the other side.

We all got things to hide.

Just a reflection of a reflection

of a reflection of a reflection of a reflection (ah!),

but I see you on the other side.

We all got things to hide.

(Alright let's go back.)

Our song it skips

on little silver disks.

Our love is plastic,

and they break it to bits.

I want to break free,

but will they break me

down, down down,

don't mess around.

I thought I found a way to enter;

it was just a reflector. (Just a reflector)

I thought I found the connector;

it was just a reflector. (Just a reflector)

It's just a reflector.

Thought you were praying to the resurrector;

turns out it was just a reflector. (Just a reflector)

Thought you were praying to the resurrector;

turns out it was just a reflector. (Just a reflector)

Thought you were praying to the resurrector;

turns out it was just a reflector. (Just a reflector)

Just a reflector.

Just a reflector.

Just a reflector.

But I see you on the other side.

Just a reflector.

(Ah!)

But I see you on the other side. (Reflector)

We all got things to hide. (Reflector)

Just a reflector.

But I see you on the other side.

Arcade Fire - The Lightning I, II

THE LIGHTNING I

Fourth place anthem playing tonight, on a broken radio
I thought we reached the mountaintop, but now, we just feel so low
The sky is breaking open, we keep hoping, in the distance we'll see a glow
Lightning, light our way ’til the black sky turns back to indigo

We can make it if you don't quit on me
I won't quit on you
Don’t quit on me
We can make it, baby
Please don't quit on me
I won't quit on you
Don't quit on me
I never quit on you

We were born in paradise, beneath a poisoned sky
Under a bad sign, the micro-age of Gemini
And we are still unlearning, tires are burning in the middle of Rodeo Drive
You know that we've been beat down and broken, but now we can testify

We can make it if you don't quit on me
I won't quit on you
Don't quit on me
We can make it, baby
Please don’t quit on me
I won’t quit on you
Don't quit on me
I’ll never quit on you

It's not up to you
Some you win, some you lose (When the lightning comes)
You don't get to choose
Some you win, some you lose (When the lightning comes)
One, two, three, four

THE LIGHTNING II

I heard the thunder on a blue sky perfect day, I wonder why
Am I the only one?
I heard the thunder and I feel I'm going under, Jesus Christ
Was an only son

A day, a week, a month, a year
A day, a week, a month, a year
Every second brings me here

A day, a week, a month, a year
A day, a week, a month, a year
Every second brings me here

Waiting on the lightning
Waiting on the lightning
Waiting on the light
What will the light bring?

I heard the thunder and I thought it was the answer, but I find
I got the question wrong
I was trying to run away but a voice told me to stay
And put the feeling in a song

A day, a week, a month, a year
A day, a week, a month, a year
Every second brings me here

A day, a week, a month, a year
A day, a week, a month, a year
Every second brings me here

Waiting on the lightning
Waiting on the lightning
Waiting on the light
What will the light bring?

Waiting on the lightning
Waiting on the lightning
Waiting on the light
What will the light bring?

Arcade Fire - Porno

Take the makeup off your eyes

I've got to see you, hear your sacred sighs

Before the break up, comes the silence

I'm talking to you. You say you're over it,

But I know

I thought I knew you. You thought you knew me

But now that you do, it's not so easy now

That I know

You can cry; I won't go. You can scream; I won't go

Every man that you know would have run at the word go

Little boys with their porno, oh, I know they hurt you so

They don't know what we know. Never know what we know

And all your makeup, just take it all off

I've got to find you before the line is lost

I know I hurt you, I won't deny it

When I reach for you, you say, "I'm over it."

But I know

You can cry; I won't go. You can scream; I won't go

Every man that you know would have run at the word go

Little boys with their porno, oh, I know they hurt you so

They don't know what I know. It's so little that we know

But the cup it overflows. Little boys with their porno

This is their world, where can we go?

Makes me feel like something's wrong with me

Makes me feel like something's wrong with me

Can you see me?

You can cry; I won't go. You can scream; I won't go

Little boys with their porno. Little boys with their porno

Makes me feel like something's wrong. It's the only world we know

Yeah, something's wrong. Little boys with their porno

And boys they learn some selfish shit until the girl won't put up with it

On and on and on we go. I just have to know. I'm not over it

I'm not over it

So love is real like a disease.

Come on tell me please,

I'm not over it

I'm not over it

Arcade Fire - Rebellion (Lies)

Sleeping is giving in

No matter what the time is

Sleeping is giving in

So lift those heavy eyelids

People say that you'll die

Faster than without water

But we know it's just a lie

Scare your son, scare your daughter

People say that your dreams

Are the only things that save you

Come on baby, in our dreams

We can live our misbehavior

Every time you close your eyes (lies, lies!)

Every time you close your eyes (lies, lies!)

Every time you close your eyes (lies, lies!)

Every time you close your eyes (lies, lies!)

Every time you close your eyes

Every time you close your eyes

Underneath the covers

People try and hide their lies

Underneath the covers

Come on hide the lovers

Underneath the covers

Come on hide the lovers

Underneath the covers

Hiding from your brothers

Underneath the covers

Come on hide the lovers

Underneath the covers

Arcade Fire - Peter Pan

In my dreams you're dying
It wakes me up, and I can't stop crying
I just wanna live forever
Keep my promises, keep it together
In my dreams you're living
Open your eyes, and I wake up forgiven
Just a little something to thin the blood
How can I live with so much love?
Singing

Be my Wendy, I'll be your Peter Pan
Come on baby, take my hand
We can walk if you don't feel like flying
We can live, I don't feel like dying
Be my Wendy, I'll be your Peter Pan
Come on baby, ain't got no plans
Boys and girls got all the answers
Men and women keep growing their cancers
Singing

In my dreams we're kissing
It wakes me up, but you've gone missing
Born so close, but we grow apart
And all the sickness starts in the heart
In my dreams you're dying
It wakes me up, and I can't stop crying
'Cause it's a date night, dead-eyed American dream
And it leaves you baby, if you let it leave
Singing

Be my Wendy, I'll be your Peter Pan
Come on baby, take my hand
We can walk if you don't feel like flying
We can live, I don't feel like dying
Be my Wendy, I'll be your Peter Pan
Come on baby, ain't got no plans
Just a little something to thin the blood
How can I live with so much love?

Arcade Fire - Suburban War

Let's go for a drive

And see the town tonight

There's nothing to do but I don't mind when I'm with you

This town's so strange

They built it to change

And while we sleep we know the streets get rearranged

And my old friends, we were so different then

Before your war against the suburbs began

Before it began

Now the music divides

Us into tribes

You grew your hair so I grew mine

You said the past won't rest

Until we jump the fence

And leave it behind

My old friends, I can remember when

You cut your hair

I never saw you again

Now the cities we live in

Could be distant stars

And I search for you

In every passing car

The night's so warm

Yeah, the night's so warm

I've been living in the shadows of your song

Living in the shadows of your song

In the suburbs I

I learned to drive

And you told me we would never survive

So grab your mother's keys we leave tonight

But you started a war

That you can't win

They keep erasing all the streets we grew up in

Now the music divides

Us into tribes

You choose your side and I'll choose my side

All my old friends, they don't know me now

Oh-oh

All my old friends, are staring through me now

Oh-oh

All my old friends, they don't know me now

All my old friends, they don't know me now

All my old friends wait

Arcade Fire - Put Your Money On Me

Put your money on me
'Cause I can barely breathe
Put your money on me

Put your money on me
If you think I'm losing you, you must be crazy
All your money on me
I'm never gonna let you go, even when it's easy
Put your money on me
Or tuck me into bed, and wake me when I'm dead
I know that you gotta be free
But I'm never gonna let it go

If there was a race, a race for your heart
It started before you were born
Above the chloroform sky
Clouds made of ambien
Sitting on carpets in the basement of Heaven
We were born innocent, but it lasts a day
And baby you can give all the money away
But if there's a race, a race for your heart
It's over before it starts
Singing

Put your money on me
If you think I'm losing you, you must be crazy
All your money on me
I'm never gonna let you go, even when it's easy
Put your money on me
Or tuck me into bed, and wake me when I'm dead
I know that you gotta be free
But I'm never gonna let it go

All my presents are broken before they're open
And the promises, the second they're spoken
I know I've been different
My skin keeps shedding
My mother was crying on the day of our wedding
Trumpets of angels call for my head
I fight through the ether and I'll quit when I'm dead
If you want to know who'll be there in the end
When you bury me, baby, I'll still be your friend
Singing

Put your money on me
If you think I'm losing you, you must be crazy
All your money on me
I'm never gonna let you go, even when it's easy
Put your money on me
Or tuck me into bed, and wake me when I'm dead
I know that you gotta be free
But I'm never gonna let it go

Singing put your money on
All your money on me
Put your money on
I know it's not the last time
Put your money on
All your money on
Put your money on
I know it's not easy

(To put your money on me)
('Cause I can barely breathe)
(When you put your money on me)
When Silicon Valley's melted back into silicon
We'll find a way to survive
Singing

Put your money on me
If you think I'm losing you, you must be crazy
All your money on me
I'm never gonna let you go, even when it's easy
Put your money on me
Or tuck me into bed, and wake me when I'm dead
I know that you gotta be free
But I'm never gonna let it go

Singing put your money on
All your money on me
Put your money on
I know it's not the last time
Put your money on
All your money on
Put your money on
I know it's not easy
To put your money on
All your money on me
Put your money on
I know it's not the last time
Put your money on
All your money on me
Put your money on
I know it's not easy

Arcade Fire - We Don't Deserve Love

Keep both eyes on the road tonight
'Cause I'm driving home to you
A terrible song on the radio
Baby, what else is new?

You don't want to talk
You don't want to touch
You don't even wanna watch TV
You say I can't see the forest for the trees
So burn it all down, and bring the ashes to me

Keep both eyes on the road tonight
'Cause God knows where I've been
Officer please, don't check my breath
That ain't my only sin

You don't want to talk
You don't want to touch
You don't even wanna watch TV
If you can't see the forest for the trees
Just burn it all down, and bring the ashes to me

Keep you waiting, hour after hour
Every night, in your lonely tower
Looking down at all the wreckage
When we met, you'd never expect this
And you said, maybe we don't deserve love
Maybe we don't deserve love
Maybe we don't deserve love
We don't deserve
We don't deserve love
Maybe we don't deserve love

Keep both eyes on the road tonight
'Cause I'm driving home to you
A terrible song on the radio
Baby, what else is new?
Been hiding my scars in broad daylight bars
Behind laugh tracks on TV
If you can't see the forest for the trees
Just burn it all down, and bring the ashes to me

Keep you waiting, hour after hour
Every night, in your lonely tower
Looking down at all the wreckage
When we met you'd never expect this
And you say, maybe we don't deserve love
Keep you waiting, hour after hour
Every night, in your lonely tower
Looking down at all the wreckage
When we met you'd never expect this
And you say, maybe we don't deserve love
Maybe we don't deserve love
Maybe we don't deserve love
We don't deserve
We don't deserve love
(We don't deserve love)

Mary, roll away the stone
The men that you love
Always leave you alone
Well go on Mary
Roll away the stone
The men you love always leave you alone
You hear your mother screaming
You hear your daddy shout
You try to figure it out
You never figure it out
Your mother's screaming
That you don't deserve love
If you don't deserve love
And if I don't deserve love
Could we deserve?
Come down off your cross
And tell me!
It's always the Christ-types
Mary, roll away the stone
The one that you love
Is gonna leave you alone
Particularly the Christ-types
Mary, roll away the stone
The one you love
Always leave you alone
It's always the Christ-types
You're waiting on

Arcade Fire - Neighborhood #3 (Power Out)

I woke up with the power out
Not really something to shout about
Ice has covered up my parents hands
Don't have any dreams, don't have any plans

I went out into the night
I went out to find some light
Kids are swingin' from the power lines
Nobody's home, so nobody minds

I woke up on the darkest night
Neighbors all were shoutin' that they found the light
"We found the light!"
Shadows jumpin' all over my walls
Some of them big, some of them small

I went out into the night
I went out to pick a fight with anyone
Light a candle for the kids
Jesus Christ don't keep it hid!

Ooh! Ooh! Ooh!

Ice has covered up my parents hands
Don't have any dreams, don't have any plans
Growin' up in some strange storm
Nobody's cold, nobody's warm

I went out into the night
I went out to find some light
Kids are dyin' out in the snow,
Look at them go, look at them go!

Ooh! Ooh! Ooh!
Ooh! Ooh! Ooh!

And the power's out
In the heart of man
Take it from your heart
Put it in your hand

What's the plan? What's the plan?

Is it a dream? Is it a lie?
I think I'll let you decide
Just light a candle for the kids
Jesus Christ don't keep it hid!

'Cause nothing's hid
From us kids
You ain't foolin' nobody
With the lights out!

Ooh! Ooh! Ooh!

And the power's out
In the heart of man
Take it from your heart
Put it in your hand

And there's something wrong
In the heart of man
Take it from your heart
Put it in your hand

Where'd you go?!

Arcade Fire - Creature Comfort

Some boys hate themselves
Spend their lives resenting their fathers
Some girls hate their bodies
Stand in the mirror and wait for the feedback

Saying
God, make me famous
If you can't just make it painless
Just make it painless

Assisted suicide
She dreams about dying all the time
She told me she came so close
Filled up the bathtub and put on our first record

Saying
God, make me famous
If you can't just make it painless
Just make it painless

It goes on and on, I don't know what I want
On and on, I don't know if I want it
On and on, I don't know what I want
On and on, I don't know if I want it
(On and on I don't know what I want)
(On and on I don't know if I want it)
(On and on I don't know what I want)
(On and on I don't know if I want it)

Some girls hate themselves
Hide under the covers with sleeping pills and
Some girls cut themselves
Stand in the mirror and wait for the feedback
Some boys get too much, too much love, too much touch
Some boys starve themselves
Stand in the mirror and wait for the feedback

Creature comfort makes it painless
Bury me penniless and nameless
Born in a diamond mine
It's all around you but you can't see it
Born in a diamond mine
It's all around you but you can't touch it

Saying
God, make me famous
If you can't just make it painless
Just make it painless

It's not painless
She was a friend of mine, a friend of mine
And we're not nameless, oh

It goes on and on, I don't know what I want
On and on, I don't know if I want it
On and on, I don't know what I want
On and on, I don't know if I want it
(On and on I don't know what I want)
(On and on I don't know if I want it)
(On and on I don't know what I want)
Well if you're not sure, better safe than sorry

Creature comfort, make it painless
Creature comfort, make it painless

We're the bones under your feet
The white lie of American prosperity
We wanna dance but we can't feel the beat
I'm a liar, don't doubt my sincerity

Just make it painless
Creature comfort, make it painless

Na-na-na-na na-na-na
Na-na-na-na na-na-na
(Na-na-na-na na-na-na)
(Na-na-na-na na-na-na)
Creature comfort, make it painless

Arcade Fire - Afterlife

Afterlife
Oh my God, what an awful word
After all the breath and the dirt and the fires are burnt
And after all this time, and after all the ambulances go
And after all the hangers-on are done hanging on in the dead lights
Of the afterglow

I’ve gotta know…

Can we work it out?
If we scream and shout, ’till we work it out
Can we just work it out?
Scream and shout ’till we work it out
’till we work it out, ’till we work it out
’till we work it out, ’till we work it out

Afterlife
I think I saw what happens next
Oh, it was just a glimpse of you, like looking through a window
Or a shallow sea
Could you see me?
And after all this time
It’s like nothing else we used to know
And after all the hangers-on are done hanging on in the dead lights
Of the afterglow

I’ve gotta know…

Can we work it out?
If we scream and shout, ’till we work it out
Can we just work it out?
Scream and shout ’till we work it out?

But you say, “Oh, when love is gone
Where does it go?”
And you say,
“Oh, when love is gone
Where does it go?”
And where do we go?
Where do we go?
Where do we go?
Where do we go?
Where do we go?
Where do we go?
Where do we go?
Where do we go?

And after this
Can it last another night?
After all the bad advice
That had nothing at all to do with life

I’ve gotta know...

Can we work it out?
If we scream and shout, ’till we work it out
Can we just work it out?
Scream and shout ’till we work it out?

But you say,
“Oh, when love is gone
Where does it go?”
And you say,
“Oh, when love is gone
Where does it go?”
We know it’s gone
But where did it go?
And where do we go?

Is this the afterlife?
It’s just an afterlife with you.
It’s just an afterlife.
It’s just an afterlife.
It’s just an afterlife with you.
It’s just an afterlife.
It’s just an afterlife.

Arcade Fire - Black Wave/Bad Vibrations

We can reach the sea
They won't follow me
Shadows they fear the sun
We'll make it if we run!

Run from the memory
Je nage, mais les sons me suivent

Left my name with the border guards
A name that I don't need
Ce sera un long voyage
Sur les vagues de l'oubli

Run from the memory
Je nage, mais les sons me suivent

Stop now before it's too late
Been eating in the ghetto on a hundred dollar plate
Nothing lasts forever
That's the way it's gotta be
There's a great black wave in the middle of the sea
For me

Stop now before it's too late
Been eating in the ghetto on a hundred dollar plate
Nothing lasts forever
That's the way it's gotta be
There's a great black wave in the middle of the sea
For me
For you
For me
It's always for you

Stop now before it's too late
Been eating in the ghetto on a hundred dollar plate
Nothing lasts forever
That's the way it's gotta be
There's a great black wave in the middle of the sea
For me

Stop now before it's too late
Your lover was for hire
Have you noticed he's been late
Nothing lasts forever
That's the way it's gotta be
There's a great black wave in the middle of the sea
For me
For you
For me
It's always for you

The sound is not asleep, it's moving under my feet
The sound is not asleep, it's moving under my feet
The sound is not asleep, it's moving under my feet
The sound is not asleep, it's moving under my feet
