[ti:Sprawl II ] [ar:Arcade Fire] [al:The Suburbs] [00:02.00]Arcade Fire - Sprawl II (Mountains Beyond Mountains) [00:03.00] [00:06.70]They heard me singing and they told me to stop, [00:15.88]Quit these pretentious things and just punch the clock, [00:24.54]These days, my life, I feel it has no purpose, [00:32.60]But late at night the feelings swim to the surface. [00:41.16]Cause on the surface the city lights shine, [00:49.56]They're calling at me, "come and find your kind." [03:28.98] [00:57.68]Sometimes I wonder if the world's so small, [02:26.78] [01:06.36]That we can never get away from the sprawl, [03:42.03] [01:10.44]Living in the sprawl, [03:44.34] [01:12.95]Dead shopping malls rise like mountains beyond mountains, [03:48.64] [01:17.19]And there's no end in sight, [03:51.77] [01:20.38]I need the darkness someone please cut the lights. [01:29.93]We rode our bikes to the nearest park, [01:38.56]Sat under the swings, we kissed in the dark, [01:46.71]We shield our eyes from the police lights, [01:55.53]We run away, but we don't know why, [02:02.61]And like a mirror these city lights shine, [02:11.15]They're screaming at us, "we don't need your kind." [03:23.01]Quit these pretentious things and just punch the clock. [03:37.63]Can we ever get away from the sprawl?
