Semi-precious Stone

Wolf Parade

verse 1 Semi-precious stone for Cassandra Semi-precious stone for your drugs Semi-precious stone for science Semi-precious stone for your kiss But I am standing on a pile of diamonds That I would like to submit For your totem poles verse 2 For every time we hated the police Or had to get out of the city to get free A semi-precious stone, semi-precious stone For every thumb we ran along the crease I am standing on a pile of diamonds That i would like to submit, woo! Bridge And lover, it was so windy The night was filled with furious trees The streets were strewn with broken branches Oh, save me from this conspiring breeze This is the sound This is the sound This is the sound This is the sound This is the sound This is the sound Of the sky foaming at the mouth (x2) verse 3 This is the sound that I choose to make, now This is the sound that I choose to make Surrounded with tools and No longer suitable for carving faces Swinging down, through the air Like a branch, through the air Until my basic human bones Are like a hammer, like a hammer on a semi-precious stone This is the sound This is the sound This is the sound This is the sound This is the sound This is the sound Of the sky foaming at the mouth x2 x3 Outro So hey, you can keep Cassandra And you can keep your kiss You should save your energy For the new apocalypse Oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh!
