Bruce Cockburn Going Up Against Chaos Lyrics

Going Up Against Chaos Lyrics

Moon across the valley Squatting on the roof Of the dirty gray bank Like a cop
with no proof 



We were lying in bliss Love was cooling into sleep
There was a dream on the horizon And a punch-up in the street 



We
were lying on the mountain by the satellite dish Humming with the tremors of
Every envy, rage and wish Orchids and radar In the dazzling night The stars
were all racing like satellites 



Going up against chaos Going up
against chaos Two hearts full of tough love 



We were bodies of
light Like we'll be someday The sirens and the curses Were light years away 



We were Lot on the mountain We were Noah on the Ark Flying hand in
hand From the doghowl dark 



Going up against chaos Going up
against chaos Two hearts full of tough love
