Arcade Fire - En Life Overture Lyrics

{Track 1: Everything_Now (Continued)}

I'm in the black again
Can't make it back again
We can just pretend
We'll make it home again
From everything now

(Everything now)

{Track 2: Everything Now}

[Verse 1]
Every inch of sky's got a star
And every inch of skin's got a scar
I guess that you've got everything now
And every inch of space in your head
Is filled up with the things that you read
I guess that you've got everything now
And every film that you've ever seen
Fills the spaces up in your dreams
That reminds me
(Everything now!
Everything now!)

[Verse 2]
Every inch of road's got a sign
And every boy uses the same line
I pledge allegiance to everything now
And every song that I've ever heard
Is playing at the same time, it's absurd
And it reminds me, we've got everything now
We turn the speakers up 'til they break
'Cause every time you smile, it's a fake
Stop pretending, you've got
[Chorus]
(Everything now!) I need it
(Everything now!) I want it
(Everything now!) I can't live without
(Everything now!) I can't live without
(Everything now!
Everything now!)
Everything now

[Verse 3]
Every inch of road's got a town
Daddy, how come you're never around?
I miss you, like everything now
Mama, leave the food on the stove
Leave your car in the middle of the road
This happy family with everything now
We turn the speakers up 'til they break
'Cause every time you smile, it's a fake
Stop pretending, you've got

[Chorus]
(Everything now!) I need it
(Everything now!) I want it
(Everything now!) I can't live without
(Everything now!) I can't live without
(Everything now!
Everything now!)
[Post-Chorus]
'Til every room in my house
Is filled with shit I couldn't live without

[Chorus]
(Everything now!) I need it
(Everything now!) I can't live without
(Everything now!
Everything now!)
Everything now

[Bridge]
La, la, la, la, la, la-la-la
La, la, la, la, la-la-la
La, la, la, la, la-la
La, la, la, la, la, la-la-la
La, la, la, la, la-la-la
La, la, la, la, la-la
Stop pretending, you've got

[Chorus]
(Everything now!) I need it
(Everything now!) I want it
(Everything now!) I can't live without
(Everything now!) I can't live without
(Everything now!) I can't live
(Everything now!)
[Post-Chorus]
And every room in my house
Is filled with shit I couldn't live without

[Chorus]
(Everything now!) I need it
(Everything now!) I can't live without
(Everything now!) I can't live
(Everything now!)
Every inch of space in my heart
Is filled with something I'll never start

[Outro]
The ashes of everything now
And then you're black again
Can't make it back again
From everything now

{Track 3: Signs of Life}

[Verse 1]
Those cool kids
Stuck in the past
Apartments of cigarette ash
Wait outside until it begins
Won't be the first ones in
Spend your life waiting in line
You find it hard to define
But you do it every time
Then you do it again

[Chorus]
Looking for signs of life
Looking for signs every night
But there's no signs of life
So we do it again
Looking for signs of life
Looking for signs every night
But there's no signs of life
So we do it again

[Verse 2]
First kiss tastes like cigarettes
Dead man walking take your bets
Once again you lost your friends
Around and around again
Those cool kids
Stuck in the past
Apartments of cigarette ash
"Where are we going?"
Who did you ask?
Those cool kids
Stuck in the past
In a world of cigarette ash
"Where are we going?"
Who did you ask?
Who did you ask?

[Chorus]
Looking for signs of life
Looking for signs every night
But there's no signs of life
So we do it again
Looking for signs of life
Looking for signs every night
But there's no signs of life
So we do it again

[Verse 3]
Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday
Friday, Saturday, sometimes Sunday
Love is hard, sex is easy
God in Heaven, could you please me?
You think you invented life
You find it hard to define
But you do it every time
Then you do it again

[Chorus]
Looking for signs of life
Looking for signs every night
But there's no signs of life
So we do it again
Still looking for signs of life (Looking for signs of life)
Looking for signs every night
But there's no signs of life
So we do it again

Those cool kids
Stuck in the past
In a world of cigarette ash
"Where are we going?"
Who did you ask?
Who did you ask?

[Chorus]
Looking for signs of life
Looking for signs every night
But there's no signs of life
So we do it again
Looking for signs of life
Looking for signs every night
But there's no signs of life
So we do it again

[Bridge]
(Still looking)
Looking for signs of life
(Signs of life)
Still looking for signs of life
(Signs of life)

[Chorus]
Looking for signs of life
Looking for signs every night
But there's no signs of life
So we do it again
Looking for signs of life
Looking for signs every night
But there's no signs of life
So we do it again
