These Are The Fables Lyrics - Twin Cinema - New Pornographers

in coral and gray 

In submarine chambers 

One day 

It swam for the light 

The jewels that lit 

The cities that float there 

Cities in circles drawn perfect complete 

Holding the secrets on my street 

My street, my street 

So come in and play 

The song of the siren 

It's commonplace 

You hear the voice rise 

In one wave 

And crash on your doorstep 

Making the circle here perfect, complete 

These are the fables on my street 

Ten thousand dancing girls 

Kicking cans 'cross the sky 

No reason why 

Why ask to pay yourself 

For the call of the wild 

You found this child 

So raise him 

And wind your back 

Come back to the river 

The currents speed by 

And hope the men fear 

The hammer comes down 

So hard on the evening 

Cracking the dawn of your 

Days are repeat 

These are fables on my street 

My street, my street 

Heaven shook Hell 

And down from its pockets 

The ring in your bell 

It fell through your hands 

Hang at your feet 

The doors that won't open 

Marking the journey of our friends complete 

These are the fables of my street 

My street 

My street, my street 

Lay down in glory, you're not alone 

My street, my street 

Lay down in glory, you're not alone
