Hi-Rise Lyrics by The New Pornographers

Brill Bruisers

2014

[Verse 1]
Wee hours on the move
All eyes in the night
Are concentrated and glowing
An explosion effect
[Verse 2]
Walking on the roof
Of the hi-rise on the moon
You never go where you're going
But, for once, there's room
[Chorus]
You're much harder to place
Now that you are floating untethered in space
Unfolded into madrigals
Unfolded into madrigals
What you want is madness, though
What you want is madness, though
[Verse 3]
Walking on the roof
Of a hi-rise here to stay
Experiment in levitation
A psychic left to pray
[Chorus]
You're much harder to place
Now that you are floating untethered in space
Unfolded into madrigals
Unfolded into madrigals
What you want is madness, though
What you want is madness, though
