Right Now - Dirty Projectors, Syd

The sky has darkened earth, turned to hell

Some said a light got shined where darkness dwelled

So I won’t cry or collapse, overwhelmed

Time like a song just might rhyme with itself

I don’t know how I’m going to be a better man

I don’t know how I’m going to reach the Promised Land

I don’t know how I’m going to get you to take my hand

But I’m going to try and I know when

Now (now)

Right now (now)

Right now (now)

Right now (now)

Right now, now (now)

Right now, now (now)

Right now, now (now)

Right now

Soon the earth may dissolve like snow

We’ll meet again in the air or bound to glow

And I am glad that I got to know

I might sing the melody

But I don’t set the tempo

Who draws the true straw from the fist that’s clasped?

Who pulls the new rope through the loopholes of the past?

Better hurry up for the first shall be the last

Better sound the trumpet before the blast

Now (now)

Right (now)

Now, right (now)

Now, right now (now)

Right now (now)

Now, right now (now)

Now, right now (now)

Now, right now

You pulled me up when you took my hand

There was silence in my heart

And now I’m striking up the bend

They lit the bonfire but now we can light the lamp

Now (now)

Right now (now)

Right now (now)

Right now (now)

Right now, now (now)

Right now (now, now)

Right now (now, now)

Right now (now, now)

Right now (now, now)

Right now (now, now)

Right now (now)

Now, right now, now, now, now, now
