"Darling Shade" lyrics - THE NEW PORNOGRAPHERS

When you add your voice to bad choices
Then your noise so white becomes mammoth
It's dripping down the walls like quicksilver
Dripping down as slowly as sabbath

[Bridge 1:]
And for you: the Pulitzer Prize
For stepping into traffic
Now they knew the Americas
You broke through, you're laughing

We have found a use for the profane
Searching for the gods in the corners
With the ignorance of the poet
An unbreakable focus of mortars

[Chorus:]
Darling shade our shadow
Darling shade our shadow

With a singer from the bad choices
Honestly and without a pretense
When you give your mind to your voices
You accept the terms of your sentence

[Bridge 2:]
And for you: the Pulitzer Prize
For time served, you're walking
Now they knew the Americas
You broke through, it's nothing

[Chorus:]
Darling shade our shadow
Darling shade our shadow

You began to climb the new tower
Thinking you could learn the new language
That you would return a few favors
Since you left everybody hanging

[Chorus:]
Darling shade our shadow
Darling shade our shadow

Darling shade our shadow
Darling shade our shadow
