Paul Banks — The Base lyrics

Lyrics

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
When I walk today
It’s in silence and in rain
Can a man turn the page
While he’s trying to amaze?
So I hold my arms apart
But don’t deny you any pain
See, I spoke to the base
And the base says «we're there»
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 Into these deep nights
Where the lights circle on are 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
Sky less night
So steep
I count the falling stars
So steep I will not be staying long
Now and then I can see the truth above the lies
Now and then I can see those beauties that shun my eye
That’s why
