Old Soul Song (for The New World Order) Lyrics - I'm Wide Awake It's Morning - Bright Eyes

Grey like new day leaks through the window 

And some old song comes on the alarm clock radio 

We walk the forty blocks to the middle 

Of the place we heard that everything would be 

And there were barricades to keep us off the street 

But the crowd kept pushing forward 

Till they swallowed the police 

Yeah, they went wild, yeah, they went wild 

Yeah, they went wild, yeah, they went wild 

We left before the dust had time to settle 

And all the broken glass swept off the avenue 

And all the way home held your camera like a Bible 

Just wishing so bad that it held some kind of truth 

And I stood nervous next to you in the dark room 

You dropped the paper in my water 

And it all begins to bloom 

Yeah, they go wild, yeah, they go wild 

Yeah, they go wild, yeah, they go wild 

And just when I get so lonesome I can't speak 

I see some flowers on a hill side 

Like a wall of new TV's 

Yeah, they go wild, yeah, they go wild 

Yeah, they go wild, yeah, they go wild 

Yeah, they go wild, yeah, they go wild 

Yeah, they go wild, yeah, they go wild
