Marching Orders The New Pornographers (Ft. Neko Case)

[Verse 1]
What do these marching orders mean?
Some half-lit fairy tale, I'd move out their dreams
It's what they do, step one-two
Marching ten paces in front of you

[Verse 2]
Let's put this countdown clock away
Unfinished parts of the death ray on the lawn
Let them rust, turn to dust
What the heart can't imagine and trust

[Chorus]
They, they say we can't make this stuff up
But what else could we make?
They say we can't make this stuff up
But what else could we make?

[Verse 3]
What do these marching orders say?
Spelled out in now-forgotten language, they leave
Your voice wept, don't connect
What the fuse was put there to protect

[Chorus]
They, they say we can't make this stuff up
But what else could we make?
They say we can't make this stuff up
But what else could we make?
