The Base

Paul Banks

Composição de: Paul Banks
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

What I want today
It’s in silence and in rain

Can man turn the page
While he’s trying to amaze? (it ain’t nothing)

So I hold my arms apart
But don’t deny you any pain (it ain’t nothing)

See I spoke to the base
And the base says you win
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
Página 1 / 2
Into these deep nights
Where the hearts circle on
Are so steep

So steep
So steep
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
So steep
Skyless night
I count the falling stars
So steep

I will not be staying long

Now and then I can see the truth above the lies (they’re 
like street lights, they tunnel on and on…)
Now and then i can see those beauties that shun my eye

That’s why
