The New Pornographers

We've Been Here Before

Here is the quick rundown

We've been here before

It's best not to wander far

'Cause we've been here before

We couldn't find a way out

When we were here, the first time

Now it's lines we're leaving behind

Lines we're leaving behind

Didn't choose what we mean

Just go along with what's played

There were rules once back when

There should be rules again

Here is the quick rundown

We've been here before

It's best not to wander far

'Cause we've been here before

And we couldn't find a way out

When we were here, the first time

Now it's lines we're leaving behind

Lines we're leaving behind

And oh, to leave them behind

And gold to trade for my life

Where we end up again

The gods of bad parties reign

Shoots by invasion lights

Round the same block again

So here is the quick rundown

We've been here before

It's best not to wander far

'Cause we've been here before

And we couldn't find a way out

When we were here the first time

Now it's lines we're leaving behind

Lines we're leaving behind

We've been here before...
