The Surprise Knock - The New Pornographers

Drive off the map into the realm of the stars

Didn’t need a war, but now this one is ours

Smile along until the coast is clear

Like anything that you will learn to fear

Let it play in the background, tune out the sound

Didn’t need a war but we got one now

We’ll ride the chords as they repeat for years

We may be on, be on to something here

The logic’s from before, now we’re inside the C4

Drifting like proper castaways

Didn’t need a war but it’s here, I’d say

So smile big until it’s thrown us clear

We might be on, be on to something here

The logic’s from before, now we’re inside the C4

And then the surprise knock on your door

The surprise knock on your door

The surprise knock on your door

Drive off the map and take the long way round

Didn’t know the score but we knew we were down

It won’t be long until we grind the gears

But carry on, we’re on to something here

The logic’s from before, now we’re inside the C4

And then the surprise knock on your door

The surprise knock on your door

The surprise knock on your door

Drive off the map 'til the horizon bleeds

Didn’t need a war but we got one, see

We had it wrong when it was all so clear

We might be on, be on to something here

Drifting like proper castaways

Didn’t need a war but it’s here, I’d say

So smile big until it’s thrown us clear

We might be on, be on to something here

And then the surprise knock on your door

The surprise knock on your door

The surprise knock on your door

The surprise knock on your door
