THE NEW PORNOGRAPHERS lyrics : "These Are The Fables"

In coral and gray
In submarine chambers
One day

It swam for the light
The jewels that lit
The cities that float there

Cities in circles drawn perfect, complete
Holding the secrets on my street
My street, my street


So come in and play
The song of the siren

It's commonplace
You hear the voice rise
In one wave

And crash on your doorstep
Making the circle here perfect, complete
These are the fables on my street


Ten thousand dancing girls
Kicking cans 'cross the sky

No reason why
Why ask to pay yourself
For the call of the wild

You found this child
So raise him


And wind your back
Come back to the river
The currents speed by

And hope the men fear
The hammer comes down
So hard on the evening

Cracking the dawn of your
Days are repeat
These are fables on my street

My street, my street

Heaven shook Hell

And down from its pockets
The ring in your bell
It fell through your hands

Hang at your feet
The doors that won't open
Marking the journey of our friends complete

These are the fables of my street
My street


My street, my street
Lay down in glory, you're not alone


My street, my street
Lay down in glory, you're not alone
