Barbarian Lyrics by Hot Chip

Barbarian EP

What are we waiting for?
Gathered here today
What are we waiting for?
Gathered here today

When I come to your town
I'm gonna take your down
Down to the sea where they can share my company
Where the paintings are painted and the history is statue
Where the walls are constructed and the falls are prepared for
Nothing can prepare me for the fall that awaits me
Your preperation for barbarians they have, read up on me

Falling down was never meant to be so hard
Falling down was never meant to be this hard
Falling down was never meant to be so hard
Falling down was never meant to be this hard

When I come to your town
I'm gonna fall in love again
You greet my like an angel and lay on the love so thin
Get so sticky we can not unstick
Then I take you to New Orleans where I hear the drums can break
Your heart to tiny pieces and come over awful quick

Falling down was never meant to be this hard
Falling down was never meant to be so hard
Falling down was never meant to be this hard
Falling down was never meant to be so hard

What are we waiting here for?
Gathered here today
What are we waiting here for?
Gathered here today
What are we waiting here for?
Gathered here today
What were we waiting here for?
Gathered here today
