Broken Social Scene - National Anthem of Nowhere lyrics

[Intro] This is the beginning? One, two [Verse 1] Words flow through your veins Your sensual use of pain So lets send our sailors in 'Cause they don't come back And they don't give in [Verse 2] Well the sailors' drug is wine They forget the passing time Maybe end up on the rocks Or drown in the arms Of an octopus [Verse 3] Well they sing, but cannot save From across the waves Got a knife that doesn't kill By the window sill Sits the Diamond Lil [Outro] Stay strong 'Cause this don't last long Last long One more song Stay strong 'Cause this don't last long Last long Just one more song
