Arcade Fire - Sprawl I (Flatland) Lyrics






Took a drive into the sprawl
To find the house where we used to stay
Couldn't read the number in the dark
You said let's save it for another day

Took a drive into the sprawl
To find the places we used to play
It was the loneliest day of my life
You're talking at me but I'm still far away

Let's take a drive
Through the sprawl
Through these towns they built to change
Then you said, the emotions are dead
It's no wonder that you feel so strange

Cops shone their lights
On the reflectors of our bikes
Said, do you kids know what time it is?
Well sir, it's the first time I've felt like something is mine
Like I have something to give
The last defender of the sprawl
Said, well where do you kids live?
Well sir, if you only knew
What the answer is worth
Been searching every corner
Of the earth

  1. H.... P....

    [Verse 1]
    Took a drive into the sprawl
    To find the house where we used to stay
    We couldn’t read the number in the dark
    You said “let’s save it for another day”

    [Verse 2]
    Took a drive into the sprawl
    To find the places we used to play
    It was the loneliest day of my life
    You’re talking at me, but I’m still far away

    [Verse 3]
    Let’s take a drive through the sprawl
    Through these towns they built to change
    Then you said the emotions are dead
    It’s no wonder that you feel so estranged

    [Verse 4]
    The cops shone their lights
    On the reflectors of our bikes
    Said “Do you kids know what time it is?”
    Well, sir, it’s the first time I felt like something is mine
    Like I have something to give

    [Verse 5]
    The last defender of the sprawl
    Said “Well, where do you kids live?”
    Well, sir, if you only knew what the answer’s worth
    I’ve been searching every corner of the earth

    How does this song only have 20k views??? Definitely deserves more

  3. T.... ....

    Legendary sound. Better than any Beatles song in my opinion.

    T.... ....

    Not saying much as the Beatles were overrated and pushed out of the many contemporary bands with the same sound

    T.... ....

    The Beatles were a different band from a different time. Comparing anyone else, especially modern artists, to them is unfair to both artists.
