The Walkmen

You're with someone else
Tomorrow night
Doesn't matter to me

'Cause as the sun dies
Into the hill
You got all I need

You pulled a blanket across my eyes
It's a tragedy
Take a lonely look, from my sake
It's a tragedy

Oh country air
Is good for me
No matter who's side I'm on

Like these dead leaves
Dried in the sun
I'll be up and gone

There's a stranger at her side
Oh Lord
He's a wiser man than I
Oh Lord

I am a good man
By any count
And I see better things to come

Could she be right
When she repeats
I am the lucky one

You're one of us
Or one of them?
(x5)

You're one of us
Or one of them?

Angela holds a grudge over nothing
Angela, what’s the difference?
Today’s a day like any other

Still the flag snaps in the wind
Still your name rings true

You took the high road
I couldn’t find you up there
You kept your jaw wired closed

I never noticed before
I used to see the signs
Now I dream of the time
I was holding on to you
For a lack of anything to do

Still the white caps roll away
Still your name rings true
Mine is yours, yours is yours
Life goes on, life goes on all around you

Let’s go home happy again
Just take your head from your hands
Take up the cause just once more

I never noticed before
I used to see the signs
Now I dream of the time
I was holding on to you
For a lack of anything to do

Back to school
Back to work
Can this go on forever?
Angela, what’s the difference?
Life goes on all around you

The countless eyes dotted in the night sky
I speak the language, or several hundred words.
A cloudless day, and a thunderous night.
Among companions, I'll carry my name.

But the life we lead came gradually.
Who keeps the time?
A bitter lime, will do us fine
To kill the taste.

We'll turn deaf ears on all that we don’t wanna hear
But a cause for travel has come again.
At this early hour, I'll tell your wife a story
She looks outside and doubles over laughing.

Of the souls you loved, and a place you lived
Those country houses.
And a change of heart tore us apart
Oh, what a ride.

Every chance you have
All the love and life
All the joy and grace
Don't be absurd, don't you think it out
You know what thinking does
To love's shine, and love's light.

Now it's your every word
Oh I'm hanging on
It feels right these days
I saw strange things
The lines of old faces
Up on the stormy sky, tonight.

Now all the younger kids have gone away to sleep
In the days to come, I’ll do the same.
At this early hour, I'll tell your wife a story
She looks outside and doubles over laughing.

The life we lead came gradually
Who keeps the time?
Bitter lime, do us fine
To kill the taste.

these are the lyrics as per the Japanese CD booklet- some of the words at the head of the lines go unsung or at least severely under-pronounced. I think they add some connective tissue tying the lines together, so I left them in.
