Sprawl II (Mountains Beyond Mountains)

Arcade Fire Arcade Fire

You heard me singing and you 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 feeling swims 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
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, we kissed in the dark
We shield our eyes from the falling stars
We rode away but we don't know why

On the black river, the city lights shine
they're screaming at us, we don't 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
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 clock
sometimes I wonder if the world's so small
we can we ever get away from the sprawl?
living in the sprawl
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
