My Rights Versus Yours Lyrics - Challengers - New Pornographers

Under your wheels, the hope of spring 

Mirage of loss, a few more things 

You left your sorrow dangling 

It hangs in air like a school cheer 

Complex notes inside the chords 

On every wall inflections carved 

Deep as lakes and dark as stars 

Remember we were the volunteers 

(Ooooh) Courts knew this and nothing more 

(Ooooh) Now it's my rights versus yours 

Under your wheels, your hopeless reign 

You fall too hard?we're up too late 

We hang suspended from the heights 

Until it's safer to walk here 

Under your wheels, your chance is with 

The easy call, the called-off search 

The medicine, it still won't work 

But there's dangerous levels of it here 

(Ooooh) Same thing as the other time 

(Ooooh) But now it's your rights versus mine 

The truth in one free afternoon 

The truth in one free afternoon 

Under my wheels the chance is held 

Gave me to save me from myself 

Spectacles painted with my shaking hand 

Fingers in paints, in paints we brought 

Thinking we'd leave them when we're not 

Flying the flags of new empires in rags 

The new empire in rags 

The truth in one free afternoon 

A new empire in rags 

The truth in one free afternoon 

A new empire in rags 

The truth in one free afternoon 

A new empire in rags 

The truth in one free afternoon 

Under your wheels, the fits and starts 

The time to dabble in the arts 

To tease the packs of dogs in charge 

But kid it's always still me 

Under your wheels, the hope of spring 

Mirage of loss, a few more things 

The medicine it still won't sing 

But there's dangerous levels of it here 

(Your rights over my rights now 

We came to the right place 

Your rights over my rights now 

Your rights over my rights now 

We came to the right place 

Your rights over my rights now 

Your rights over my rights now
