THE NEW PORNOGRAPHERS
"We've Been Here Before"
(A.C. Newman)

Here is the quick rundown:
We've been here before
It's best not to wander far
'Cause we've been here before

We couldn't find a way out
When we were here the first time
Now it's mines we're leaving behind
Mines we're leaving behind

Didn't choose what we mean
Just hummed along with what's played
There were rules once back when
There should be rules again

Here is the quick rundown:
We've been here before
It's best not to wander far
'Cause we've been here before
And we couldn't find a way out
When we were here the first time
Now it's mines we're leaving behind
Mines we're leaving behind

And oh, to leave it behind
And go to trade for my life

Where we end up again
The gods of bad parties reign
Chased by invasion lights
Round the same block again

So here is the quick rundown:
We've been here before
It's best not to wander far
'Cause we've been here before
And we couldn't find a way out
When we were here the first time

Now it's mines we're leaving behind
Mines we're leaving behind
(Mine for leaving behind, Mine for leaving behind)

We've been here before
