New Pornographers Loose Translation Lyrics

Loose Translation Lyrics

One holy ghost for a (holy/lonely) girl 

In the dream she shook then read,
I quote, 

"We're all past elation now" (???) 

In the school of
thought, in the halls of state, 

When the leaves turned pink, 

The
loose translation must have lost her 

It must have cost her to go back




To the civilization caught between here 

And the real one


Just to say what you'd begun to say once 



We have been
enrolled in the wrong schools 

All thru the pride of falling, falling


Price of education now 

There have been no clues in the last few


Takes in the steps we trace 

The education must have cost her 

It must have cost her to go back 



To the civilization caught
between here 

And the real one 

Just to say what you'd begun to say
once 



The education must have cost her 

The loose translation
must have lost her 

It must have lost her, yeah...
