Near Death Experience Experience

[Andrew Bird]

You used to be like toffee in a kitten's teeth

You used to build air raid shelters out of sticks and leaves

And spend the whole day underneath

You used to be like copper, pliable but strong

You used to smile and nod, say "you're right"

Be polite when you know that everybody's wrong

Know that everybody's wrong

Know that everybody's wrong

Know that everybody's wrong

So you dare the plane to crash

Redeem the miles for cash when it starts to dive

And we'll dance like cancer survivors

Like we're grateful simply to be alive

[Andrew Bird and Nora O'Connor]

Dare the plane to crash, redeem the miles for cash

And we'll dance like cancer survivors

Like your prognosis was that you should've died

No, there's nothing wrong

There's nothing wrong when it starts to down

And we'll dance like cancer survivors

Like we're grateful simply to be alive

No, there's nothing wrong

There's nothing wrong when it starts to down

And we'll dance like cancer survivors
