Arcade Fire [EP] Lyrics

01. Old Flame
You knew in five minutes, But I knew in a sentence You knew in five minutes, But I knew in a sentence So why do we go through all of this again? Your eyes are flutterin’ Such pretty wings. A moth, flyin’ into the Same old flame again It never ends It’s not like I dropped the bomb, on my conscience mom It takes fightin’ day and night to make such a good thing die Out, everyone out I give too much shit at home In my heart and mind It gets me every time So why do we go Through all this shit again Your eyes are Flutterin’ Such pretty wings. A moth flyin’ into me The same old flame again It never ends

02. I'm Sleeping in a Submarine
She’s gone to sea She’s fightin’ for me What bravery! I’m sleeping in a battle ship I’m sleeping in a submarine I’m sleeping in a fighter plane I’m sleeping going down the drain All hands on deck! The radio adresss What a mess! A cage is a cage Is a cage, is a cage!

03. No Cars Go
We know a place where no planes go We know a place where no ships go (Hey!) No cars go (Hey!) No cars go Where we know We know a place no space ships go We know a place where no subs go (Hey!) No cars go (Hey!) No cars go Where we know (Hey!) (Hey!) (Cars go!) (Hey!) Us kids know (Hey!) No cars go Where we know Between the click of the light and the start of the dream Between the click of the light and the start of the dream Between the click of the light and the start of the dream Between the click of the light and the start of the dream I don’t want any pushing, and I don’t want any shoving. We’re gonna do this in an orderly manner. Women and children! Women and children! Women and children, let’s go! Old folks, let’s go! Babies needing cribs, let’s go!

04. The Woodlands National Anthem
I guess we’ll have to move The neighborhood is on to us Let’s join the little babe’s Throwin’ rocks in front of us Riding on my bicycle I pass my sister on a bus Let’s take the country road before our parents send for us Trees keep fallin’ at my feet I guess it’s time ot build a boat Make a raft of our bodies Do you think that it’ll float? What I said was not a joke, But you just licked the envelope I’m tired of dating, let’s elope But you just licked the envelope Three cheers for my parents, Lonely failed experiments! Three cheers for my parents, Lonely failed experiments! Don’t you dare blame my parents I’m the only failed experiment Don’t you dare blame your parents You’re the only failed experiment Don’t you dare blame your grandparents Mom’s the only failed experiment Don’t you dare blame your grandparents Dad’s the only failed experiment Don’t blame God Just blame God Don’t blame God

05. My Heart is an Apple
I’ll admit I’m full of shit That’s how I know I love you That’s how I know I trust you, You’re not sure if there’s a right or wrong But it feels like there is when I treat you like this I go outside Texas, I won’t come home Not even if you call I can’t hear you at all I can’t explain why it’s a sin the state I’m living in I just feel so tired I go outside My mouth is full, your heart is an apple My mouth is full, your heart is an apple Pomme-pomme-pomme-pomme-pomme-pomme-pomme-pomme Please don’t even call I can’t hear you at all.

06. Headlights Look Like Diamonds
The red lights mean you’re leaving The white one’s mean returning Tell me how this story ends And I’ll keep them fires burning The headlights look like diamonds The taillights burn like coals Tell me how this story ends Before the fires go cold The countryside’s deserted There’s no one on the farms The suburbs all are sleeping The earthquakes set off car alarms All after all now we aware All after all the time we share There’s so much fears of world, Types of world, Tears of world

07. Vampire/Forest Fire
You wanna be set apart? Burn all of your art repair the wasteful part I’m a vampire in a forest fire Hey! we all gotta keep warm driving towards the storm Your father was a pervert Face down in the dirt He taught you how to hurt My father was a miner who lived in the suburbs Let’s live in the suburbs If I let where I’m from burn I can never return! My brother reads you and me his new poetry How embarassing Your sister pours the gasoline I’ll fix your meals while your burns heal! Find a house you don’t have to rebuild Stone by stone, brick by brick, nail by nail my father never meant to leave me this Let this love last I drive too fast Said I’d return if I’d ever cared But there’s no interstate I find to take me there
