[Spoken, continued from previous track: Matt Berninger] Just start it from the very beginning of the record [Verse 1] Ada, don't talk about reasons why you don't wanna talk About reasons why you don't wanna talk Now that you got everybody you consider sharp All alone, all together, all together in the dark [Refrain] Leave it all up in the air Leave it all up in the air Leave it all Up in the air [Chorus] Ada, put the sounds of your house in a song Try to be speechless for a minute If you think you're gonna faint, go out in the hallway Let them all have your neck Ada, don't stay in the lake too long It lives alone and it barely knows you It'll have a nervous breakdown and fall Into a thousand pieces around you [Verse 2] Stand inside an empty tuxedo with grapes in my mouth Waiting for Ada Ada, hold onto yourself by the sleeves I think everything counts a little more than we think [Refrain] Leave it all up in the air Leave it all up in the air Leave it all Up in the air [Bridge] Ada Ada Ada Ada, I can hear the sound of your laugh through the wall [Instrumental Break] [Verse 1] Ada, don't talk about reasons why you don't wanna talk About reasons why you don't wanna talk Now that you got everybody you consider sharp All alone, all together, all together in the dark [Refrain] Leave it all up in the air Leave it all up in the air Leave it all up in the air [Outro] Ada Ada Ada Ada, I can hear the sound of your laugh through the wall Ada Ada Ada Ada, I've been hoping you know your way around [Audience Cheering] [Spoken: Matt Berninger] I'm gonna start telling you all the backstory to all these songs And I don't remember most of the backstory so I'll make it up This song...actually no, I'm not gonna say anything about this This is called "Gospel" I'm not gonna ruin this one
