Arcade Fire - (Antichrist Television Blues)

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 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 shield my eyes from the police lights We run away, but we don't know why Black river, your 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 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
