Destroyer - The Way of Perpetual Roads Lyrics

Watch the mistake in progress
Even if you don't believe in progress
There's a give and there's a take
And there's a move she forgot to make
In time to discover that
The glove was a plant, and the shill, his mean-spirited thing

And she wants you
And she wants you
And she wants you to go
And she wants you
And she wants you
And she wants you to go
But this is the way of perpetual roads
And this is the way of perpetual roads
And this is the way of perpetual roads
And this is the way

Watch the parade in progress
Even if you don't believe in progress
There was a will
There was a way
There was a bill we forgot to pay
In spite of all the accidental riches
Golden Dons, and sudden glitches to the day

And she wants you
And she wants you
And she wants you to go
And she wants you
And she wants you
And she wants you to go
But this is the way of perpetual roads
And this is the way of perpetual roads
And this is the way of perpetual roads
And this is the way

It's a long climb down from obscurity
So cancel the keys to the city, please
Upon which I'll wretch the inextricable
Failures of popular wisdom
And popular music

And she wants you
And she wants you
And she wants you to go
And she wants you
And she wants you
And she wants you to go
But this is the way of perpetual roads
And this is the way of perpetual roads
And this is the way of perpetual roads
And this is the way of perpetual roads
