Don’t Destroy This Night lyrics
by The New Pornographers
[Verse 1]
Let's take a walk
We can sit and talk
By the a mighty canal
That flows behind the mall
Let's take a walk
We can sit and talk
'Neath the gleaming monuments
And inauguration tents
Eyes so bright
They hit me like a light
Brand new love
Starts to fit you like a glove
[Verse 2]
Fresh new love
Starts to fit you like a glove
Your eyes are so bright
They hit me like a light
If you've got time
Take a later flight
I'll do anything
Just to make it alright
[Chorus]
Cash in your ticket, for God's sake
Don't destroy this night
Change all your plans, for God's sake
Don't destroy this night
[Verse 3]
Let's take a walk
We can sit and talk
By the muddy canal
That flows behind the mall
Fresh new love
Starts to fit you like a glove
Your eyes are so bright
They hit me like a light
[Chorus]
Cash in that ticket, for God's sake
Don't destroy this night
Change all your plans, for God's sake
Don't destroy this night
[Bridge]
I had this premonition
All about the air collision
The planes melt the ice [?]
Taxis the runway lights
Conference from the tower
Could the engines do full power?
Nose up, start to fly
Take it to the evening sky
Sudden burst of flames
Now, nothing'd ever be the same
[Chorus]
Tear up your ticket, for God's sake
Don't destroy this night
If you'd just change your plans, for God's sake
Don't destroy this night
[Outro]
Cash in your ticket, for God's sake
Don't destroy this night
Cash in your ticket, for God's sake
Don't destroy this night
