Sprawl Ii Lyrics

Arcade Fire

they heard me singing and they told me to stop. quit these pretentious things and just punch the clock. these days my life i feel it has no purpose, but late at night the feelings swim to the surface. cause on the surface the city lights shine. they're calling at me "come and find your kind" sometimes i wonder if the world's so small that we can never get away from the sprawl. living in the sprawl, the dead shopping malls rise like mountains beyond mountains and there's no end in sight. i need the darkness someone please cut the lights
we rode our bikes to the nearest park, sat under the swings and kissed in the dark. you sheild my eyes from the police lights. we run away but we dont know why.
black river, your city lights shine. they're screaming at us, "we dont need your kind" sometimes i wonder if the world's so small, that we can never get away from the sprawl! living in the sprawl, the dead shopping malls rise like mountains beyond mountains and there's no end in sight. i need the darkness, someone please cut the lights! They heard me singing and they told me to stop, quit these pretentious things and just punch the lights! sometimes i wonder if the world's so small. can we ever get away from the sprawl? living in the sprawl. the dead shopping malls rise like mountains beyond mountains and there's no end in sight. i need the darkness. someone please cut the lights. i need the darkness. someone please cut the lights!
