Lyrics The New Pornographers

The New Pornographers

Stacked Crooked

I counted on my private Altamont

Trusted it all along

But now I'm on my way

We left the house,

Your fingers in my mouth

Stacked crooked all along

But now I'm on my way

Stacked crooked all along

But now I'm on my way

Ooh

The force left through the red light of the hours

I tried to imagine it

I couldn't imagine it

The vantage falling from the ivory tower

I tried to imagine it

I couldn't imagine it

You clicked and tossed

Your cryptic crossword loss

You then abandoned talks

And now it's hard to say

While we would weep

In smoke-and-mirror states

Stacked crooked all along

But now I'm on my way

Stacked crooked all along

But now I'm on my way

Ooh

The force left through the red light of the hours

I tried to imagine it

I couldn't imagine it

The vantage falling from the ivory tower

I tried to imagine it

I couldn't imagine it

Do not do not deny me

Tonight I lost a deal

Do not do not deny me

My own guillotine, oh

Do not do not my

Attention to detail

Do not do not deny me

The clicking of the heels

Do not do not deny me

Deny my loss of feel

Do not do not deny me

My Achilles' Heel

Do not do not my

Attention to detail

Do not do not deny me

The clicking of the heels
