"The Surprise Knock" lyrics - THE NEW PORNOGRAPHERS

Drive off the map into the realm of the stars
Didn't need a war, but now this one is ours
Smile along until the coast is clear
Like anything that you will learn to fear

Let it play in the background, tune out the sound
Didn't need a war but we got one now
We'll ride the chords as they repeat for years
We may be on, be on to something here

The logic's from before, now we're inside the C4...

Drifting like proper castaways
Didn't need a war but it's here I'd say
So smile big until it's thrown us clear
We might be on, be on to something here

The logic's from before, now we're inside the C4

Then the surprise knock on your door...

Drive off the map and take the long way round
Didn't know the score but we knew we were down
It won't be long until we grind the gears
But carry on, we're on to something here

The logic's from before, now we're inside the C4

And then the surprise knock on your door...

Drive off the map 'til the horizon bleeds
Didn't need a war but we got one, see...
We had it wrong when it was all so clear
We might be on, be on to something here

Drifting like proper castaways
Didn't need a war but it's here I'd say
So smile big until it's thrown us clear
We might be on, on to something here

And then the surprise knock on your door...
