Lyrics The Walkmen

The Walkmen

The Blue Route

You keep replaying through the days

That have brought you to this place

You shine your shoes and shave your face

Throw on a suit

You used to be some kind of joke

And all the depths you've come to know

You wandered down an open road and you kept going

What happened to you

What happened to you

What happened to you

At just a quarter past the hour

Chatting up some friends of yours

You were standing side by side under the moon

Eleven sparrows on the line

A hundred fireflies outside

Your tired eyes were open wide and you kept going

What happened to you

What happened to you

What happened to you

Eleven blackbirds in the sky

A hundred fireflies for miles

Your tired eyes were open wide

What could you do

You keep replaying through the days

That have brought you to this place

You wandered down an open road and you kept going

What happened to you

What happened to you

What happened to you
