Simple Request Lyrics by Dirty Projectors

About to Die

2012

[Verse 1]
I want to know who you are right now
Who you are right now
I wonder why, and I wonder what, and I wonder how

Promise child, promise me
You'll see what you saw today

[Chorus]
Never will we give up
Never will we tear
Never will we tire
Never capitulate

[Verse 2]
I was alone till I saw you lie
Till I saw you lie
I was a bone now I break in half
Now I break in half

Gone a mile, gone a day
Frayed and torn, smile anyway

[Chorus]
Never will we give up
Never will we tear
Never will we tire
Never capitulate
