Down at the Khyber Lyrics by Joel Plaskett Emergency

Down at the Khyber

2001

I've been away and I've been travelin'
I've been lost, I've fucked around
And like a heavy mind unravelling
Through open fields and prairie towns
I got sick, and I got sicker
That I spent a month in bed
Until the visions came to me quicker
I saw ghosts and I saw red
I saw ghosts and I saw red
Am I still alive, where did I collapse?
In Edmonton, Alberta or home in Halifax?
Float me down the river to the Musquodoboit Harbour
Because I'm getting nowhere
I met my love down at the Khyber
And we drifted throughout the crowd
And when I finally lay beside her
Oh you could hear my heart out loud
And when I'm gone she'll never leave me
No no she'll never be untrue
But if you do not believe me
You don't believe the sky is blue
You don't believe the sky is blue
Am I still alive, where did I collapse?
In Edmonton, Alberta or home in Halifax?
Float me down the river to the Musquodoboit Harbour
Because I'm getting nowhere
And if it feels just like a toss off
Perhaps it is perhaps it ain't
Do you remember at the sock hop?
Did I dance or did I faint
Did I dance or did I faint
Did I dance or did I faint
Did I dance or did I faint
