The Static Age - Wolf Parade

We love the hand that moves the stars across the sky

Counting the hours 'til we sleep

Daylight always comes down on everyone

And then we rise back into life again

You get a hollow heart, you get a hollow head

You get to feel just like the living dead

Visions coming on

But they never last for long when they arrive

Here and gone again

Out in the street, wild dreams in our hearts

Trying to leave, but we don’t know where to start

I don’t want to live in a static age

Staying in a place where nothing changes

We can begin again

Heard about a king in a golden mask

Heard about an empire built to last

Daylight comes

Turned his face towards the sun, he was surprised

And not the same again

Out in the street, wild dreams in our hearts

Trying to leave, but we don’t know where to start

I don’t want to live in a static age

Staying in a place where nothing changes

We can begin again

Shouts ring out from the crowd below

Every empire must rise and fall, I know

Doubt from the crowd below

Every empire must rise and fall and

Here and gone, love

Into the light, into the light

We can begin again

Oh, oh, we can begin again
