Metric - Parkdale lyrics

Square in the face

Sony spacecraft

Hovering over like a third eye

Why am I hovering over myself

I'm flipping out in the magazine neighborhood

It's just like everybody said you would be greased

I should be living

Giving my mind a chance to rewind

And playback beautiful music

I should be living

Giving my mind a chance to rewind

And playback dangerous rhythms

We almost forgot

Every building is a shop

Every person is a shopper

Finally it almost seemed we

Almost forgot

Every building is a shop

Every person is a shopper

Finally

But when we started walking

I was in the nineteen fourties

Simplified the politics

Marveled at the architecture

You were off on camera

Gathering the setting sun

The red brick building tops

Finally it almost seemed authentic

As we headed further west

Into the worst, out of the best

Magazine neighborhood

We saw tall trees

And public enemies

I should be living

Giving my mind a chance to rewind

And playback beautiful music

I should be living

Giving my mind a chance to rewind

And playback dangerous rhythms

We almost forgot

Every building is a shop

Every person is a shopper

Finally it almost seemed we

Almost forgot

Every building is a shop

Every person is a shopper

Finally it almost seemed we

Moved out of the searchlight

Passed under the moonlight

Moved out of the searchlight

Open up and spend the night

We almost forgot

Every building is a shop

Every person is a shopper

Finally it almost seemed we

Almost forgot

Every building is a shop

Every person is a shopper

Finally it almost seemed we

Moved out of the searchlight

Passed under the moonlight

Moved out of the searchlight

Open up and spend the night in parkdale
