Crash Years Lyrics - Together - New Pornographers

The skirts go up 

Before the war 

Among the madding crowds 

They're ruined like the rest of us ruined 

Rest of us ruined 

You are a living doll 

Riding a circle tracks 

Behind the walls of clocks 

And you ruined 

Like the rest of us ruined 

Rest of us ruined 

Traffic was slow for the crash years 

There's no other show like it 'round here 

As a rule 

Windows were rolled for the crash years 

There's no other show like it 'round here 

As a rule 

Light a candle's end 

You are a light turned low 

And like the rest of us 

You got those old eternity blues 

Eternity blues 

Your fingers raised, you're looking for the word 

What you want is accident 

Another drag 

Spectacular view 

What you can lose 

Traffic was slow for the crash years 

There's no other show like it 'round here 

As a rule 

Windows were closed in the crash years 

Honey child you're not safe here 

As a rule 

Traffic was slow for the crash years 

There's no other show like it 'round here 

As a rule 

Windows were rolled for the crash years 

There's no other show like it 'round here 

As a rule 

The ruins were wild 

The ruins were wild 

Tonight will be an open mic
