Lyrics

[Verse 1: A.C. Newman] Cover your eyes, surprise your fate It's only an avalanche away, you're safe It's only a scratch, you're great Several years after the flood Your singularity under the gun So late, so late to the game, so late We thought it was wise to wait [Chorus: Neko Case] Sent you blues from the last world News from the future Blues from the last world News from the future [Verse 2: A.C. Newman] Several miles behind the wave We needed to cross the ocean We missed the ride Lord knows we could use a ride You summon the breath to finally say "It's only an avalanche away", feels right And you can stay here tonight Yeah, you can stay here tonight [Chorus: Neko Case] Sent you blues from the last world News from the future Blues from the last world News from the future [Bridge: A.C. Newman & Neko Case] Better angels form the cottage industries The testimonials, warning weather The rules of the house Are all graffiti scrawled Ceremony calls for tar and feathers Jewels in your crown Are loud and proudly fake Ceremony calls for overthrowing [Verse 3: A.C. Newman & Neko Case] Consigned to the dustbins Of bloodlines turned away Defined by the daylight, which we found in Avalanche Alley Controlled demolitions Of the times, far away In line for the festival that we call Avalanche Alley [Chorus: Neko Case] Blues from the last world News from the future Blues from the last world News from the future
