Don't Wait

Arcade Fire · Other Songs - Arcade Fire

Don't wait, don't wait



Don't wait, don't wait



You're way too late



Don't wait, don't wait



The beat goes on



Until it's gone



She strolls so slowly with her ball and chain



The cling clang chatters patterns with the patter of rain



Stares in a mirror cracked in seven different ways



With holes in her umbrella dripping on her face



Her makeup running down like the tragedy face



Alone on a city street surrounded by space



She opens her mouth to scream and shout out the pain



But all that comes out are silent sobbing sounds of restrain



The beat goes on



Until it's gone



There comes a time when she will trust her belly



Not disappear from the world like Machiavelli no



Forfeit the pride it's not a crime but she's running out of time



And denies it's showing while her anxiety's growing old



Don't wait, don't wait



Don't wait, don't wait



You're way too late



Don't wait, don't wait



The beat goes on



Until it's gone



The beat goes on



Don't wait



Until it's gone



Don't wait



The beat goes on
