"Springtime In Vienna" lyrics - THE TRAGICALLY HIP

THE TRAGICALLY HIP
"Springtime In Vienna"
(Rob Baker / Gordon Downie / Johnny Fay / Paul Langlois / Gord Sinclair)

Instructions from the manual
Could not have been much more plain
The blues are still required
The blues are still required again

Past territorial piss posts
Past whispers in the closets
Past screaming from the rooftops
We live to survive our paradoxes
We live to survive our paradoxes
We live to survive our paradoxes

Men here of the secret
They pass in upholstered silence
They only exist in crisis
They only exist in silence

Past territorial piss posts
Past whispers in the closets
Past screaming from the rooftops
We live to survive our paradoxes
We live to survive our paradoxes
We live to survive our paradoxes
We live to survive our paradoxes
We live to survive our paradoxes
We live to survive our paradoxes
