Lyrics The New Pornographers

The New Pornographers

All for Swinging You Around

Exploding international

The scenes, the sounds

And famously the feeling

That you can't squeeze 'round

While tearing off another page

Of loose change

Outrage

It's another perfect day

Until the night shows

Exploding international

The wind did howl

The sky above was thick with rings of smoke

And clouds

And hanging on the bleeding end

Of conscious

Who's this?

Was there anything I missed

As far as you know?

Was it all for swinging you around?

Exploding international

The sun, the sights

The moments you are viewing

Through a beam of light

Propel you through the golden age

We crash-land the first page

On a crumbling world stage

Into the front rows

All for swinging you around

And off your feet

All the love you found

Spinning 'round

We're twisting incognito

With no time, can't talk

Can't tell if this is fantasy

Or culture shock

Or remnants of a golden age

That's near mint unplayed

Or a welcome overstayed

Beneath the lightshow

All for swinging you around
