Omar Rodríguez-López - Napoleon Solo lyrics

[Intro] Cut and paste, were you sitting down On the beaded impotence of New Orleans? A hint of suspense when that telephone rings This is forever [Verse 1] It paved a wave of distance between the syntax error From Austin's yellow brick road, this is forever From this Texas breath exhaled, no sign of relief 'Cause this you know, this you know, this is forever [Chorus] March Twenty-Third hushed the wind, the music died If you can't get the best of us now It's cause this is forever March Twenty-Third hushed the wind, the music died (You know) If you can't get the best of us now (You know) (You know) It's cause this is forever [Verse 2] Makes no difference, your alphabet is missing letters Seventeen, embalmed, in caskets lowered into the weather A drizzle, brisk and profound From this Texas breath revealed, no relief This is forever [Chorus] March Twenty-Third hushed the wind, the music died If you can't get the best of us now It's cause this is forever March Twenty-Third hushed the wind, the music died (You know) If you can't get the best of us now (You know) (You know) It's cause this is forever [Bridge] Strum this broken hearth We were struck by the chords sent from their hearts Yes, this is forever, this is forever [Intro] Cut and paste, were you sitting down On the beaded impotence of New Orleans? A hint of suspense when that telephone rings This is forever, this is forever, this is forever Makes no! Makes no! Makes no! Seventeen, embalmed, in caskets lowered into the weather A drizzle, brisk and profound From this Texas breath exhaled [Bridge] Strum this broken hearth We were struck by the chords sent from their hearts This is forever, cut and paste, this is forever (You know) Yeah, this is forever, cut and paste, this is forever (You know) But you can't get the best of us now
