Arcade Fire - Month Of May

Gonna make a record in the month of May
In the month of May, in the the moth of May
Gonna make a record in the month of May
When a violent wind blows the wires away

The month of May is a violent thing
In the city their hearts start to sing
Well, some people sing, it sounds like they're screaming
I used to doubt it, but now I believe it

Month of May everybody's in love
Then the city was hit from above
And just when I knew what I wanted to say
A violent wind blew the wires away
We were shocked in the suburbs!

Now the kids are all standing with their arms folded tight
Kids are all standing with their arms folded tight
Well, some things are pure, and some things are right
But the kids are still standing with their arms folded tight
I said, some things are pure, and some things are right
But the kids are still standing with their arms folded tight

So young, so young
So much pain for someone so young
Well, I know it's heavy, I know it ain't light
But how you gonna lift it with your arms folded tight?

First they built the road
Then they built the town
That's why we're still driving around
And around and around

2009, 2010
Wanna make a record, how I felt then
When we stood outside in the month of May
And watched the violent wind blow the wires away

If I die in the month of May
Let the wind take my body away
I wish I may, I wish I might
But don't lay me down there with my arms folded tight

Start again in the month of May
Start again in the month of May
Come on and blow the wires away
Come on and blow the wires away
