The Tragically Hip - Dark Canuck текст песни

This one is for you

and it goes on and on and on

When nothing seems to do

For when the doubtless

and the wrong ask

Can I help you? In that way that says I can't

Then claim we're all the same just inconsistant

Pretend all understanding

turned out to be pretence

Then pretend the pretence of understanding

How long does it take? Depends

(chorus)

You can cast your doubts

Turn 'em inside out

Hang 'em upside down...

till their art falls out

(short answer's 48 hours)

Let your heart all out

(short answer's 48 hours)

till their art falls out (short answer's 48 hours)Let your heart all out summon up all your power.

If you need a good connection for drugs

or a strong tolerance for alcohol, to little

religious education

some pain threshold...

If from the outside there's no demand for what you do,

and inside there's an army

waiting for their marching

orders from you

Come sit on my swing-seat

come sit on my porch

after 10 at night smoke your

cigarettes, if you like

of course

(chorus)

If we ever get home

Let's don't compare

Let's reliquish all our holidays and drive-in premiers

If we ever get home

I'm gonna have me 3 children

Apple, Zippo, and Metronome

That's what I'm going to name them

And get celebrity skin

the illusion of tough

I'm gonna talk about nothin'

yeah,

'till nothing's enough

And if we ever get home

and the subject comes up

War isn't for children

War is nothing's enough

Oh like the cloud of blood at the end of Jaws

In the misted cars honking their applause

At the drive-in double feature

At the heart is it dark enough

Ahh, it's Jaws and

The Dark Canuck

should we stay for

The Dark Canuck

Yeah, everyone hands up

who's for The Dark Canuck

I think we've reliquished

enough

And it's still dark enough

and it goes

on and on and on....
