Emblem of the World - Dirty Projectors

Hold into light the image that you drew for me

In it no defeat, in it there is no victory

There is no ceiling, all is just a great expanse

There are no rules, there is only coincidence

There is no ceiling, all is just a great expanse

There are no rules, there is only coincidence

And it looks good from a distance

(I believe what I see, ooh)

You give a pose and it’s different

(We agree and we choose to)

A beautiful detail and very dense

(Take my hand when the day is through)

Why should we choose another useless metaphor

Without a regard or a passionate need

I am in your eyes, you have always been in mine

You are the bird singing while it is recognised

And it looks good from a distance

(I believe what I see, ooh)

You give a pose and it’s different

(We agree and we choose to)

A beautiful detail and very dense

(Take my hand when the day is through)

We’ll share an emblem of the world

We’ll share an emblem of the world

We’ll share an emblem of the world

And it looks good from a distance

(I believe what I see, ooh)

You give a pose and it’s different

(We agree and we choose to)

A beautiful detail and very dense

(Take my hand when the day is through)

We’ll share an emblem of the world

(We'll share an emblem of the world)

We’ll share an emblem of the world

(We'll share an emblem of the world)

We’ll share an emblem of the world

(We'll share an emblem of the world)
