"Be safe" you say Whatever the mess you are you mind okay

Artist- The New Pornographers
Song of the day- Challengers

My first day of lollapalooza leaves me mostly realizing I'm probably getting old when I'm looking for places to sit down rather than getting close to the stage, get annoyed by crowds and my whole body wants to die after 7hours of straight music watching...and I have two more days to go. While I was sitting in mossy grass pretending to learn drugs off notecards I brought, I remembered the upside in music festivals, discovering songs like this. Though it might have alot to do with my deep love for Neko Case or the heavy amount of second hand pot smoke I had been exposed to, but for a brief moment, my back didn't hurt, I liked everyone around me and learning notecards didn't seem that important...well I might always feel that way.


The New Pornographers- Challengers

Yes I know it was late
We were greeting the sun
Before long
And you live with someone
I live with somebody too
Leave it there
For safe keeping
One of the west village in plains
That was the custom
Come dawn

On the walls of the day
In the shade of the sun
We wrote down
Another vision of us
We were the challengers of
The unknown
"Be safe" you say
Whatever the mess you are you mind okay
That is the custom
On down

Na-na na-na na-na na-na na-na
Na-na na-na na-na na-na na-na...

Until I see you around
Until we clear the accounts
Leave it there
Leave it to us
We are the challengers of
The unknown

Oh-la, oh-la, oh-la, oh-la
Oh-la, oh-la, oh-la, oh-la
