Banished Be Cavalier Lyrics by Maps & Atlases

Perch Patchwork

2010

You like
To think of the names of
The streets in the town where you came from
Then imagine the day when the signs were first hung
And you're sure
That you can predict
The value of the outdated rhetoric
And the poster your friends have you hang on their wall
You priced them all
And you like
To walk on the ends
When you follow your friends down the stairs
You say it sounds like some old marching band got confused
All the things that you say to me just seem like
Some strange story to fall asleep you think of
And I'm trying my best to see if I can't be caught
Bloodbath on municipal
I overheard someone say
There's a horseman counting seconds toward
The end of someone's day
And the civilians are mildly sleeping, too
Banished be cavalier!
That's what they shouted from the windows
At the end of every year
All the things that you say to me just seem like
Some strange story to fall asleep you think of
But you like
To think of the names of
The streets in the town where you came from
Then imagine the day when the signs were first hung
And you like
To walk on the ends
When you follow your friend down the stairs
You say it sounds like some old marching band got confused
There was a bloodbath on municipal
I overheard someone say
There was a horseman counting seconds toward
The end of someone's day
And the civilians are mildly sleeping, too
Banished be cavalier!
That's what they shouted from the windows
At the end of every year
