Cordelia - The Tragically Hip

Angst on the planks, spitting from a bridge

Just to see how far down it really is

Robbing a bank, jumping from a train

Old antiques a man alone can entertain

It takes all your power

To prove that you don’t care

I’m not Cordelia

I will not be there

I will not be there

I will not be there

Tin can man, dragging from a car

Just to see how alive you really are

Marrying words, falling in your wake

Just to tell what you can’t eliminate

It takes all your power

To prove that you don’t care

I’m not Cordelia

I will not be there

Treading the boards, screaming out Macbeth

Just to see how much bad luck you really get

Jump in the ring with your hidden cape

The bull can’t decide what it is that he really hates

It takes all your power

To prove that you don’t care

I’m not Cordelia

I will not be there

I will not be there

I will not be there

Angst on the planks, spitting from a bridge

Just to see how far down it really is

Robbing a bank, jumping from a train

Old antiques a man alone can entertain

It takes all your power

To prove that you don’t care

I’m not Cordelia

I will not be there

I will not be there

I will not be there

Thief lingers on, on his hands and knees

Must be one more thing here I really need

Die in your dreams, falling on your knife

A thief blinded on the job has to steal for life

It takes all your power

To prove that you don’t care

I’m not Cordelia

I will not be there

I will not be there

I will not be there

I will not be there
