Dark Canuck Lyrics - Tragically Hip

This one is for you and it goes on and on and on 

When nothin' seems to do 

For when the doubtless and the wrong 

Ask, "Can I help you?" 

In that way that says, I can't 

Or claim we're all the same just inconsistent 

Or pretend all understandin' 

Turned out to be pretense 

Then pretend the pretense of understandin' 

How long does it take, depends 

You can cast your doubts 

Turn 'em inside-out 

Hang 'em upside-down 

'Til their art falls out 

The short answer's, forty-eight hours 

Let your heart all out 

The short answer's, forty-eight hours

'Til their art falls out 

The short answer's, forty-eight hours 

Let your heart all out 

Summon up all your power 

If you need a good connection for drugs 

Or a strong tolerance for alcohol 

Too little religious education 

Some pain threshold, if from the outside 

There's no demand for what you do 

And inside there's an army waitin' 

For their marchin' orders for you 

Come sit on my swing-seat, come sit on my porch 

After Ten at night, smoke your cigarettes 

If you like, of course 

You can cast your doubts 

Turn 'em inside-out 

Hang 'em upside-down

'Til their art falls out 

The short answer's, forty-eight hours 

Let your heart all out 

The short answer's, forty-eight hours 

'Til their art falls out 

The short answer's, forty-eight hours 

Let your heart all out 

Summon up all your power 

And it goes on and on and on 

If we ever get home 

Let's don't compare 

Let's relinquish all our holidays 

And drive-in premieres 

If we ever get home 

Gonna have me three children 

Apple, Zippo and Metronome 

That's what I'm gonna name them 

And get celebrity skin 

The illusion of tough 

I'm gonna talk about nothin' 

'Til nothing's enough 

If we ever get home 

And the subject comes up 

This war isn't for children 

War is nothing's enough 

O' in the clouds of blood at the end of 'Jaws' 

In the misted cars honking their applause 

At the Drive-In Double Feature 

At the heart of dark enough 

O' it's 'Jaws' and 'The Dark Canuck' 

Should we stay for 'The Dark Canuck'? 

Yeah, everyone hands up 

Who's for 'The Dark Canuck'? 

I think we relinquished enough 

And it's still dark enough 

And it goes on and on and on
