Ballad Of A Poet - Our Lady Peace

He came on like a mountaineer

Exploring beauty through the syllables and cheers

And there was something different in the air

Something magical, the crowd was unprepared

And he was long and lean, he held that stage

And Jenny looked at me with reverence on her face

And she said we left our bodies there that night

'Cause the music shook our souls and saved our lives

Tonight we radiate

The lines have been erased

And I can’t leave this place

Leave this place, leave this place

Now, this ain’t New York or Berlin

It’s just a small town bringdown

Kind of happening, conviction etched upon his face

Like Lenny Bruce or some fucked up William Blake

Cloaked in denim head to toe

He traded words like souvenirs in stereo

Something different about this night

Cause it was happening right before our eyes

Tonight we radiate

The lines have been erased

And I can’t leave this place

Leave this place, leave this place

Tonight we radiate

Tonight we radiate'

Tonight we radiate

The lines have been erased

And I can’t leave this

I can’t leave this place

Tonight we radiate

The lines have been replaced

And I can’t leave this

I can’t leave this place

He came on like a mountaineer

Exploring beauty through the syllables and cheers

And there was something different in the air

Something magical, the crowd was unprepared
