Emily Haines The View Lyrics

The View Lyrics

Who deserves a pretty tangle dream

Green hillside, hands inside hands

I lay before you like unclaimed land

You drove your bulldozer over

Wrote your name in the sand



I am new, watch the smoke move through

You've got this world, and the wine in your hand



So you drink it down, then you look at me

And offer me some watered down potion

Eau de toilette of devotion

Tell me you've been saving it for me

Tell me you've been saving it for me



Who deserves a pretty tangle dream

Green hillside, hands inside hands

I lay before you like unclaimed land

Clear economic potential

You hung yourself in the sky frozen blue

My smile, a tattoo, you're happy, happy with what you've created

Tell me to choose like some big suit tycoon



Go on drink it down

Look at me and offer me some watered down potion 

Eau de toilette of devotion

Tell me you've been saving it for me

Tell me you've been saving it for me



You used to shine, I can't find where you drink it down

Yeah look at me, offer me a watered down potion

Eau de toilette of devotion

Drink it down 

Look at me and offer me a watered down potion

Eau de toilette of devotion

Tell me you've been saving it for me

Tell me you've been saving it for me
