Colossus of Rhodes Lyrics by The New Pornographers

In the Morse Code of Brake Lights

2019

[Verse 1]
There is no booze left in the house
There  is no air left in the room
But  still some fuel left for the fire
Colossus of Rhodes
[Verse 2]
There are no signs of struggle here
There  are no signs of forced entry
Could  have been you, might have been me
Colossus of Rhodes
[Chorus]
Though  we've had break-ins before
We've had break-ins before
[Verse 3]
There is no point in trying to run
The calls are coming from the house
But  change the locks on every door
Colossus of Rhodes
[Chorus]
'Cause we've had break-ins before
We've had break-ins before
[Bridge]
I'll point the way to my front door, to the exit lights
It's not too late to get there, it's not too late to kick you out
And after all these lifetimes, to see it all go south
If the party's over, it's not too late to kick you out
[Chorus]
Yeah, we've had break-ins before
We've had break-ins before
Now we've had break-ins before
We've had break-ins before
[Verse 4]
You have no friends left in this place
Don't put no flowers on this grave
We think the patient can be saved
Colossus of Rhodes
[Outro]
Colossus of Rhodes
Colossus of Rhodes
Colossus of Rhodes
