Arcade Fire - Black Wave lyrics

We can reach the sea

They won't follow me

The shadows they fear the sun

We'll make it if we run

Run from the memories

(run run from the memories)

Je nage, mais les sons me suivent (run run from the bottom of Haiti)

Left my name with the border guards

Anything I don’t need

Ce sera un long voyage

Sur les vagues de l'oubli

Run from the memories

(run run from the memories)

Je nage, mais les sons me suivent (run run from the bottom of Haiti)

Stop now before it's too late

I'm eating in the ghetto on a hundred dollar plate

Nothing lasts forever that's the way it’s gotta be

There's a great black wave in the middle of the sea (for me)

Stop now before it's too late

I'm eating in the ghetto on a hundred dollar plate

Nothing lasts forever that's the way it’s gotta be

There's a great black wave in the middle of the sea

For me

For you

For me

It's always for you

Stop now before it's too late

I'm eating in the ghetto on a hundred dollar plate

Nothing lasts forever that's the way its gonna be

There's a great black wave in the middle of the sea (for me)

Stop now before it's too late

Your lover was for hire, you know history's been made

Nothing lasts forever that's the way it’s gotta be

There's a great black wave in the middle of the sea

For me

For you

For me

It's always for you

This sand is not asleep

It's moving under my feet
