"Dante" lyrics - THE TRAGICALLY HIP

Desire and dread penetrating
Comfort fear and envy waiting
Destruction theft demonstrating
Overthrows so entertaining

Shoot the first rock star into space
It wasn't far just a little disgrace
They're dropping the load down into a volcano
His name his dante he doesn't want you to know

Here where the news comes to die
A dozen years has passed us by
A big giant wind blows alluding
(The big time hit goes by belated)
There's only me so dim and consolidated
(His soul damned he's so consolidated)

If you told me again of your plans to stay
(You don't make any plans to stay)
You don't let emotion in the way
You're at the point where you love or hate it
You can write it down and I'll berate it
