Lyrics The New Pornographers

The New Pornographers

Letter from an Occupant

I'm told the eventual downfall

Is just a bill from the restaurant

You told me I could order the moon, babe

Just as long as as I shoot what I want.

What the last ten minutes have taught me

Bet the hand that your money's on

Where the hell have the 70's brought me

You traded me away long gone

For the love of a god, you say

Not a letter from an occupant

The time that your enemy gives you

Good times are not the ones you want

I've cried five rivers on the way here

Which one will you stay away on?

The tune you'll be humming forever

All the words are replaced and wrong

With a shower of "Yes" and "Whatever"s

You traded me away long gone

For the love of a god, you say

Not a letter from an occupant

Where have all sensations gone?

Where have all sensations gone?

Where have all sensations gone?

Where have all sensations gone?

For the love of a god, you say

Not a letter from an occupant

For the love of a god, you say

Not a letter from an occupant

For the love of a god, you say

Not a letter from an occupant

The song

The song

The song has shaken me

The song

The song

The song has shaken me

The song

The song

The song has shaken me

The song

The song

The song has shaken me

For the love of a god, you say

Not a letter from an occupant

For the love of a god, you say

Not a letter from an occupant
