Said The Whale - 2010 lyrics

I've seen enough parts to know where we stand It's impossible to take it all in Those bright city lights, they're burning your eyes It's unreasonable to see them from Mars You're unrecognizable You're state of the art You're paper plans You're counselled and tall You incorrigible stone You're missing the point You're un-drivable You're falling apart It's back and forth between all of the pride that I've got And all that I've lost And I'm defined by these city streets and sidewalks And when the crowds came it put me off It's apropos that Just after the fact A note arrived - a hand on our backs "Those fiery skies They showed us all why You're so livable You set the bar high" We'll be back and we'll stay All in from so far away You can fit us in, just stack us upon Up in our Lego block homes Poised to flatten below Tease our city bangs with these honeycombs It's back and forth between all of the pride that I've got And all that I've lost And I'm defined by these city streets and sidewalks And when the crowds came it put me off It put me off
