Tokyo Police Club - Tessellate

 ★ 活在当下 



All the boys who called their mothers on that day 

We know, tough bunch, but they had the nerves, 

to go and say 

That all your secrets were drowned 

With the pioneers who were flooded from this town 

They packed their bags only moments to late 

With the pounding waves crashing up against the weakened water gates 



'Cause dire times, call for dire faces 

So lovely dancer, call a dancer 

Trading places in the night 

We're running barefoot, you and I 

Dead lovers salivate 

Broken hearts tessellate tonight 



And all the kids who cut their knees on that old school yard fence 

Where holding out for prosperity in self defense 

We beat them down again 

There’s no fun playing cowboys for pretend 

We showed them what the backs of our hands are for 

The devide is clear in the coming year the rich will take the poor 



'Cause dire times, call for dire faces 

So lovely dancer, call a dancer 

Trading places in the night 

We're running barefoot, you and I 

Dead lovers salivate 

Broken hearts tessellate tonight
