This Is The World Of The Theater

[Verse 1: Neko Case] Since they've come, I've tried to go it straight But I've got no clue how to Was gonna make it up just now, try to Come up with some high-brow move Kid gloves, and stranger loves you've known You sort it out somehow You used to chime in quietly, you sing But you're a moaner now Think of all the life we're saving Think of all the waves we're breaking [Pre-Chorus: Neko Case] Is it too late to live in your heart Too late to burn all your civilian clothes? As you break into a million parts Too late to learn it? Yes, we're all elbows [Chorus: Neko Case and A.C. Newman] Conquerors at the daybreak Conquerors at the daybreak This is the world of the theater This is the world of the theater [Verse 2: Neko Case and A.C. Newman] All the phantom minor notes they passed You on your way to dying They called you from their hiding places on The shoulders of your giants Think of all the cold they're braving Think of all the ways we're caving [Pre-Chorus: Neko Case] Is it too late to live in your heart Too late to burn all your civilian clothes? As you break into a million parts Too late to learn it, will it come to blows? [Chorus: Neko Case and A.C. Newman] Conquerors at the daybreak Conquerors at the daybreak This is the world of the theater This is the world of the theater [Pre-Chorus: Neko Case] Is it too late to live in your heart Too late to burn all your civilian clothes? As you break into a million parts Too late to learn it? Yes, we're all elbows [Chorus: Neko Case and A.C. Newman] Conquerors at the daybreak Conquerors at the daybreak Conquerors at the daybreak Conquerors at the daybreak This is the world of the theater This is the world of the theater
