Lose You In The Crowd - DeVotchKa

Was I put here for a reason

I thought there was a master plan

I thought I was a human being

And I thought I was your man

I’m always looking for the answers

They’re always just outside our reach

It pulls us up onto the altar

And spits us out into the street

I wish we could stay frozen in this moment

So you and I could drink up this night

For it’s over in the blink of an eye

Have you come here for a reason?

Are you murders in disguise?

Is there something I’m not seeing

That will lead to our demise?

The forces out there are relentless

They will pull us apart and run us down

I wanna break across the fences

Before I lose you in the crowd

And I wish we could stay frozen in this moment

So you and I could drink up this night

For it’s over in the blink of an eye

Eye, a la lie, lie la lie

Eye, a la lie, lie la lie

Let us not spend the rest of our days trying to make sense

Let’s waste all our time on the truly sublime

Let’s get a message to our friends

Tell ‘em I will remember this storied ground

I’ll beat the drum, I’ll make you proud

And we could be frozen in this moment

And you and I could drink up this night

For it’s over in the blink of an eye

A la la, lie la lie

Eye, a la lie, lie la lie

Now, was I put here for a reason

I thought there was a master plan

I thought I was a human being

And I thought I was your man

And I thought I was your man

Before we waste another minute

Before we draw another breath

Why can’t we finally just admit it?

Put our restless souls to bed

We’ll put another into this world

He’ll be lighting our way from this day forward

We could be frozen in this moment

And you and I could drink up this night

For it’s over in the blink of an eye

A la lie, lie la lie

Eye, a la lie, lie la lie

Eye, a la la, lie la lie lie

Eye, a la la, lie la lie
