THE NEW PORNOGRAPHERS LYRICS - Crash Years

"Crash Years"



The skirts go up

Before the war

Among the madding crowds

They're ruined like the rest of us ruined

Rest of us ruined

You are a living doll

Riding a circle tracks

Behind the walls of clocks

And you ruined

Like the rest of us ruined

Rest of us ruined



Traffic was slow for the crash years

There's no other show like it 'round here

As a rule

Windows were rolled for the crash years

There's no other show like it 'round here

As a rule



Light a candle's end

You are a light turned low

And like the rest of us

You got those old eternity blues

Eternity blues

Your fingers raised, you're looking for the word

What you want is accident

Another drag

Spectacular view

What you can lose



Traffic was slow for the crash years

There's no other show like it 'round here

As a rule

Windows were closed in the crash years

Honey child you're not safe here

As a rule



Traffic was slow for the crash years

There's no other show like it 'round here

As a rule

Windows were rolled for the crash years

There's no other show like it 'round here

As a rule



The ruins were wild

The ruins were wild

Tonight will be an open mic
