Letra da Música My Rights Versus Yours de The New Pornographers

Under your wheels, the hope of spring
mirage of loss, a few more things
You left your sorrow dangling
It hangs in air like a school cheer

Up like notes inside the chords
On every wall inflections carved
Deep as lakes and dark as stars
remember we were the volunteers

The courts knew this and nothing more
Now it’s my rights versus yours

Under your wheels, your hopeless reign.
You fall too hard. We’re up too late.
We hang suspended from the heights
Until it safer to walk here.

Under your wheels your chances win
The easy calls, the called off search
The medicine, it still won’t work
But there’s dangerous levels of it here.

Same thing as the other time
But now it’s your rights versus mine
The truth in one free afternoon
The truth in one free afternoon

Under my wheels, the chances help
kill me to save me from myself
Spectacles painted with my shaking hand
Fingers and paints, in paints we brought
Thinking we’re even when we’re not
Flying the flags of new empires in rags
A new Empire in rags
The truth in one free afternoon
A new Empire in rags
The truth in one free afternoon
A new Empire in rags
The truth in one free afternoon
A new Empire in rags
The truth in one free afternoon

Under your wheels, the fits and starts
The time to dabble in the arts
To tease the packs of dogs in charge
But kid its always still me.

Under your wheels, the hope of spring
mirage of loss, a few more things
The medicine, it still won’t sting
But there’s dangerous levels of it here.
