Weakerthans, The - My Favorite Chords lyrics

They are tearing up streets again,
they are building a new hotel.
The mayor is out killing kids,
to keep taxes down.

And me & my anger sits,
folding a paper bird,
letting the curtains turn
to beating wings.

Wish I had a socket set,
to dismantle this morning,
just one pair of clean socks,
and a photo of you.

When you get off work tonight,
meet me at the construction site,
and we will write some notes to tape,
to the heavy machines.

Like "We hope they treat you well."
"Hope you do not work too hard."
"We hope you get to be
happy sometimes."

And bring your swiss army knife,
and a bottle of smth,
and I will bring some spray pain´t,
and a new deck of cards

Hey, I found the safest place,
to keep all our tenderness,
keep all those bad ideas,
keep all our hope.
It is hear in the smallest bones,
the feet & the inner ear.
It is such an enormous thing,
to walk & to listen.

And I would like to fall asleep to the beat of you breathing,
in a room near a truck stop,
on a highway somewhere.

You´re a radio,
you´re an open door.
I´m a faulty string,
of blue Christmas lights.

You swim through frequencies,
you let that stranger in,
as I am blinking off & on
and off again.

And we have got a lot of time,
or maybe we do not,
but I would like to think so,
so let me pretend,

Well, these are my favorite chords,
I know you like them too.
when I get a new guitar,
you could´ve this one.

And sing me a lullaby,
sing me the alphabet,
sing me a story I
haven´t heard yet.
