Dreamlike and on the Rush The New Pornographers

[Verse 1]
We've spent too long at the western front
Wasted  our words sleeping over there
You  can talk yourself into anything
And I can see the Cold War in the whites of your eyes

[Verse 2]
We like our bolts straight from the blue
But  we will need something stronger too
To  bend the moral arc of the universe
Didn't need to show work before you pass
But  you hit the glass

[Chorus]
Stripped down, you're dreamlike and on the rush
Stripped down, you're dreamlike and on the rush
Some of us will rise, some of us are looser
With  the way that we define what it is we do here
We summoned the mirage, and some of us will go far
Some of us collapsing into a new star

[Verse 3]
You pulled some strings but you lose the thread
Lived like a king but the king is dead
You were pulling off the odd all-nighter then
Now you gotta prove that baby was one of us
