Gord Downie - Steeplechase Lyrics
There's a cruel crumpling sound
From over yonder by the steeplechase
It's a sound of coming down
Like horses slamming on the brakes
It's the sound of a crowd
It's a sound coming down
Of an entirely different race
It's a sound coming down
Like Il Palio sent splayed
And sprawling into a cafe
In an explosion of table legs and trays
It's a sound coming down
Like a chuckwagon when it strays
A little too far from the stampede days
And slams into the butterfly chase
Sound coming down

There's a cruel crumpling sound
From over yonder by the steeplechase
It's a sound of coming down
Like horses slamming on the brakes
It's the sound of a crowd
Of an equine crowd in the vacuum of its age
It's a sound coming down
Of an entirely different race
It's a sound coming down
Like Il Palio sent splayed
And sprawling into a cafe
In an explosion of table legs and trays
It's a sound coming down
Like a chuckwagon when it strays
A little too far from the stampede days
And slams into the butterfly chase
That's the sound coming down
Sound coming down
Poetic and haunting.
Great album, terrific song.
This is what I needed today. And you literally just uploaded it. Thanks.
