The New Pornographers - Darling Shade
When you add your voice to bad choices
Then your noise so white becomes mammoth
It's dripping down the walls
like quicksilver
Dripping down as slowly as sabbath
And for you the Pulitzer Prize
For stepping into traffic
Now the new the Americas
You broke through you're laughing
We have found a use for the profane
Searching for the gods in the cornersquarters
With the ignorance of the poet
An unbreakable focus of mournersmortars
Darling shade our shadow
Darling shade our shadow
With a singer from the bad choices
Honestly and without a pretense
When you give your mind to your voices
You accept the terms of your sentence
And for you the Pulitzer Prize
For time served you're walking
Now the new the Americas
You broke through it's nothing
Darling shade our shadow
Darling shade our shadow
You began to climb the new tower
Thinking you could learn the new language
That you would return a few favors
Since you left everybody hanging
Darling shade our shadow
Darling shade our shadow
Darling shade our shadow
Darling shade our shadow
