Wolf Parade - Soldier's Grin Lyrics

In my head there's a city at night
Static gauge with the rush and the lights
And on its concourse you look very fine
But this place here is no friend of mine

And what you know could only mean one thing
And what you know could only mean one thing
Rooted to the place that you sprang from

And this dirt was a building before
Shut it down before they opened the door
Don't shout, don't holler, don't you cry
What is passed, we'll just leave it behind

And I rode
Horse shaped fire, draggin' stereo wire
And we rode
Chemicals on 'til the breaking of dawn
And I rose
Over a town raised up by the sound of it's drone
And I rode
Higher than forces that can't make the horses lay down

This place here is no friend of mine
What is passed, we'll just leave it behind

And what you know could only mean one thing
And what you know could only mean one thing
Rooted to the place that you sprang from
