Ready to Start/Arcade Fire

I adore this song. It's catchy as hell and the lyrics really sum me up right now. I've pretty much been playing it on repeat for the past few days. Totally weird as I was never massively into Arcade Fire and I especially didn't think I'd like their new album, but it's really great...

businessmen drink my blood

like the kids in art school said they would

and i guess i'll just begin again

you say we can still be friends

if i was scared, i would

and if i was bored, you know i would

and if i was yours, but i'm not

all the kids have always known

that the emperor wears new clothes

but to bow down to them anyway

is better than bein' alone

if i was scared, i would

and if i was bored, you know i would

and if i was yours, but i'm not

now you're knocking at my door

saying please come out against the night

but i would rather be alone

than pretend i feel alright

if the businessmen drink my blood

like the kids in art school said they would

then i guess i'll just begin again

you say we can still be friends

if i was scared, i would

and if i was pure, you know i would

and if i was yours, but i'm not

now i'm ready to start...

if i was scared, i would

and if i was pure, you know i would

and if i was yours, but i'm not

now i'm ready to start

now i'm ready to start

i would rather be wrong

than live in the shadows of your song

my mind is open wide

and now i'm ready to start

now i'm ready to start

my mind is open wide

now i'm ready to start

my mind is open wide

and now i'm ready to start

not sure you'll open the door

to step out into the dark

now i'm ready...
