Paul Banks - The Base lyrics

What I draw today Will be recognized as shape I spoke to the base And the base says we wait So I smoke an old cigar While the giant sun fades See, I spoke to the base And the base says we wait And the base says we're safe Now and then I can see the truth above the lies Now and then, oh I feel you're truly anesthetized That's why When I walk today It's in silence and in rain Can a man turn the page While he's trying to amaze? So I hold my arms apart But don't deny you any pain See, I spoke to the base And the base says we're there And the base says we win Now and then I can see the truth above the lies Now and then, oh I feel those beauties, this life belies They're like street lights They tunnel on and on Into these deep nights Where the lights circle on are so steep So steep I count the falling stars So steep Anonymous forces So steep That broken street light So steep Life is like a drug Sky less night So steep I count the falling stars So steep I will not be staying long Now and then I can see the truth above the lies Now and then I can see those beauties that shun my eye That's why
