Gentle like a giant
Machine gun snare drum quiet
Don't you make a move
Nobody's selling out these old rooms
Nobody cares like we do
For these sacred places of our own
All us weirdos and amateur
Steganographers, waxing so political
Beneath the freezing air we stir
Like fragile stars colliding
Each coming in and out of being
To offer up our hymn for her
We stumble all the way home
Your apartment's closer than mine
We talk of making changes
Of the evolution of a life
Can't ever seem to leave, us two
Why can't we make up our minds?
Because despite our loathing
We cling to these division lines
Because we've always been this place
Because we've always been here
Because long after they've forgotten all our names
We'll still be howling through these plains
Shine on, aurora
No one seems to notice anymore
No one seems to notice anymore
No one seems to notice anymore
No one seems to notice anymore
How many degrees it dips below
Or people do you know from GC?
Winnipeg can kill you, so
We plan our changes in degrees
As cautiously, you slip out
To warm the car before we leave
Because we've always been here
Because we've always been here
Because we've always been here
Because we've always been here
