"The Speed Of Luxury" lyrics - THE NEW PORNOGRAPHERS

Once your vision grew clear
You could not hang around
Once you'd blown it sky high
You did not get the ground

But you can swing your perfect body across the sky
When you can swing your perfect body across the sky

Travel sunrise around through the dark end of day
Science circles the stars sitting off of the edge

On stars you wish, for stars you fall
You fall back to earth
Back to her, back to her go
Back to her, back to her go

Once you drew the guide light part and parcel of God
But God and his children fight until they forget why they fought

When they can swing their perfect bodies across the sky
When they can swing their perfect bodies across the sky

Travels sunrise around, round the dark end of day
Measure time by your path, by your path as it strays

On stars you wish, for stars you fall
You fall back to earth
Back to her, back to her go
Back to her, back to her go
Back to her, back to her go
Back to her, back to her go
