Young Cardinals (Live at Copps)

Lyrics

[Intro: Green] This song's called Young Cardinals [Verse 1: George Pettit] (Go) Strange things happen in the nighttime hour Yesterday's buds, tomorrow's flowers Those who speak numbers, refuse the great forgiver And powerful men raise their hands and deliver All the superstitions to which we all cling While high minds in Geneva ponder E8 versus string The sun hides itself concealing its grin And waits for the dawn to reveal itself again [Chorus: Dallas Green] Woah, young cardinals Nesting in the trees Woah, hear our songs Won't you bring your innocencе on me [Verse 2: George Pettit] (One, two, three, four) Strange things happеn in the nighttime hours White tails graze and wolves devour Ghosts of old loves are blowing through the vines Nicotine babies being born with no spines The god of the sea is swinging his trident We stoke our fires with the bones of tyrants The sun, it retreats through the dust and the din And waits for the dawn to reveal itself again [Chorus: Dallas Green] Woah, young cardinals Nesting in the trees Woah, hear our songs Won't you bring your innocence on me [Bridge: Green and Pettit] Alright Wade, alright Georgie Young cardinals take flight Return to nest in the black of night There are things you were not meant to know Young cardinals take flight Return to nest in the black of night There are things you were not meant to know Rah, everybody, let's hear it [Chorus: Dallas Green and Crowd] Woah, young cardinals Nesting in the trees Woah, hear our songs Won't you bring your innocence on me [Outro: Dallas Green and Crowd] One last time Woah, young cardinals Woah, young cardinals, your turn Woah, young cardinals Woah, young cardinals Woah
