Dark Canuck
Tragically Hip

This one is for you and it goes on and on and on

When nothin' seems to do

For when the doubtless and the wrong

Ask, Can I help you?

In that way that says, I can't

Or claim we're all the same just inconsistent

Or pretend all understandin'

Turned out to be pretense

Then pretend the pretense of understandin'

How long does it take, depends

You can cast your doubts

Turn 'em inside-out

Hang 'em upside-down

'Til their art falls out

The short answer's, forty-eight hours

Let your heart all out

The short answer's, forty-eight hours

'Til their art falls out

The short answer's, forty-eight hours

Let your heart all out

Summon up all your power

If you need a good connection for drugs

Or a strong tolerance for alcohol

Too little religious education

Some pain threshold, if from the outside

There's no demand for what you do

And inside there's an army waitin'

For their marchin' orders for you

Come sit on my swing-seat, come sit on my porch

After Ten at night, smoke your cigarettes

If you like, of course

You can cast your doubts

Turn 'em inside-out

Hang 'em upside-down

'Til their art falls out

The short answer's, forty-eight hours

Let your heart all out

The short answer's, forty-eight hours

'Til their art falls out

The short answer's, forty-eight hours

Let your heart all out

Summon up all your power

And it goes on and on and on

If we ever get home

Let's don't compare

Let's relinquish all our holidays

And drive-in premieres

If we ever get home

Gonna have me three children

Apple, Zippo and Metronome

That's what I'm gonna name them

And get celebrity skin

The illusion of tough

I'm gonna talk about nothin'

'Til nothing's enough

If we ever get home

And the subject comes up

This war isn't for children

War is nothing's enough

O' in the clouds of blood at the end of 'Jaws'

In the misted cars honking their applause

At the Drive-In Double Feature

At the heart of dark enough

O' it's 'Jaws' and 'The Dark Canuck'

Should we stay for 'The Dark Canuck'?

Yeah, everyone hands up

Who's for 'The Dark Canuck'?

I think we relinquished enough

And it's still dark enough

And it goes on and on and on
