The Base

The Base （基础） - Paul Banks

Written by ：Banks Paul Julian

What I draw today

Will be recognized as shape

I spoke to the base

And the base says we wait

So I smoke an old cigar

While the giant sun fades

See I spoke to the base

And the base says we wait

And the base says we're safe

Now and then I can see the truth above the lies

Now and then oh I feel you're truly anesthetized

That's why

When I walk today

It's in silence and in rain

Can a man turn the page

While he's trying to amaze

So I hold my arms apart

But don't deny you any pain

See I spoke to the base

And the base says we're there

And the base says we win

Now and then I can see the truth above the lies

Now and then oh I feel those beauties this life belies

They're like street lights

They tunnel on and on

Into these deep nights

Where the lights circle on are so steep

So steep

So steep

So steep

So steep

I count the falling stars

So steep

Anonymous forces

So steep

That broken street light

So steep

Life is like a drug

Sky less night

So steep

I count the falling stars

So steep

I will not be staying long

Now and then I can see the truth above the lies

And like

Now and then I can see those beauties that shun my eye

That's why
