The Modern Spirit Lyrics - Now For Plan A - Tragically Hip

In the dark before the train 

Just beyond the barn glow 

Where no dissident remains 

Driving it like we stole it 

Snow falling, a silver poet 

To concentrate the gallows 

And subtracting us like the wolf does 

Driving it like we stole it 

But we're getting nearer, nearer 

Getting near that modern spirit, yeah 

I can hear it, hear it, hear it 

I can hear that modern spirit

On the open road for boys 

A white and an open throat 

Night slips back with no noise 

Inside the hitch-hiker's coat 

But we're getting nearer, nearer 

Getting near that modern spirit, yeah 

I can hear it, hear it, hear it 

I can hear the modern spirit, yeah 

Can't you just hear it, hear it, hear it? 

Winter counting everything, we're near it 

We're getting nearer nearer, nearer 

Friendship changing everything, we're near it 

I can hear it

This is the modern spirit, yeah 

Yeah? Yeah
