Wolf Parade
The Static Age
[Verse 1]
We love the hand that moves the stars across the sky
Counting the hours 'til we sleep
Daylight always comes down on everyone
And then we rise back into life again

[Verse 2]
You get a hollow heart, you get a hollow head
You get to feel just like the living dead
Visions coming on
But they never last for long when they arrive
Here and gone again

[Chorus]
Out in the street, wild dreams in our hearts
Trying to leave, but we don't know where to start
I don't want to live in a static age
Staying in a place where nothing changes
We can begin again

[Verse 3]
Heard about a king in a golden mask
Heard about an empire built to last
Daylight comes
Turned his face towards the sun, he was surprised
And not the same again
