The Base

Paul Banks

What i draw today
Will be recognized as shape

I spoke to the base
And the base says we wait

So I smoke an old cigar
While the giant sun fades

See I spoke to the base
And the base says we wait
And the base says we’re safe

Now and then I can see the truth above the lies
Now and then oh I feel you’re truly anesthetized

That’s why

What I want today
It’s in silence and in rain

Can man turn the page
While he’s trying to amaze? (it ain’t nothing)

So I hold my arms apart
But don’t deny you any pain (it ain’t nothing)

See I spoke to the base
And the base says you win
And the base says we win

Now and then I can see the truth above the lies
Now and then oh I feel those beauties this life belies

They’re like street lights
They tunnel on and on
Into these deep nights
Where the hearts circle on
Are so steep

So steep
So steep
So steep
So steep
I count the falling stars
So steep
Anonymous forces
So steep
That broken street light
So steep
Life is like a drug
So steep
Skyless night
I count the falling stars
So steep

I will not be staying long

Now and then I can see the truth above the lies (they’re like street lights, they tunnel on and on…)
Now and then i can see those beauties that shun my eye

That’s why
