This Is The World Of The Theater - The New Pornographers

Since they’ve come, I’ve tried to go it straight

But I’ve got no clue how to

Was gonna make it up just now, try to

Come up with some high-brow move

Kid gloves, and stranger loves you’ve known

You sort it out somehow

You used to chime in quietly, you sing

But you’re a moaner now

Think of all the life we’re saving

Think of all the waves we’re breaking

Is it too late to live in your heart

Too late to burn all your civilian clothes?

As you break into a million parts

Too late to learn it?

Yes, we’re all elbows

Conquerors at the daybreak

Conquerors at the daybreak

This is the world of the theater

This is the world of the theater

All the phantom minor notes they passed

You on your way to dying

They called you from their hiding places on

The shoulders of your giants

Think of all the cold they’re braving

Think of all the ways we’re caving

Is it too late to live in your heart

Too late to burn all your civilian clothes?

As you break into a million parts

Too late to learn it, will it come to blows?

Conquerors at the daybreak

Conquerors at the daybreak

This is the world of the theater

This is the world of the theater

Is it too late to live in your heart

Too late to burn all your civilian clothes?

As you break into a million parts

Too late to learn it?

Yes, we’re all elbows

Conquerors at the daybreak

Conquerors at the daybreak

Conquerors at the daybreak

Conquerors at the daybreak

This is the world of the theater

This is the world of the theater
