Lyrics Emblem of the World - Dirty Projectors

Emblem of the World

Hold into light the image that you drew for me
In it no defeat, in it there is no victory
There is no ceiling, all is just a great expanse
There are no rules, there is only coincidence
There is no ceiling, all is just a great expanse
There are no rules, there is only coincidence
And it looks good from a distance
(I believe what I see, ooh)
You give a pose and it’s different
(We agree and we choose to)
A beautiful detail and very dense
(Take my hand when the day is through)
Why should we choose another useless metaphor
Without a regard or a passionate need
I am in your eyes, you have always been in mine
You are the bird singing while it is recognised
And it looks good from a distance
(I believe what I see, ooh)
You give a pose and it’s different
(We agree and we choose to)
A beautiful detail and very dense
(Take my hand when the day is through)
We’ll share an emblem of the world
We’ll share an emblem of the world
We’ll share an emblem of the world
And it looks good from a distance
(I believe what I see, ooh)
You give a pose and it’s different
(We agree and we choose to)
A beautiful detail and very dense
(Take my hand when the day is through)
We’ll share an emblem of the world
(We'll share an emblem of the world)
We’ll share an emblem of the world
(We'll share an emblem of the world)
We’ll share an emblem of the world
(We'll share an emblem of the world)
