we're covered in red and white
in red and white
like Alpha Flight
we wear a maple leaf
a maple leaf
cause we believe
in dreams
great white northern dreams
koo loo koo koo koo
like Rob and Doug
like Bob and Doug
we were so drunk
Tory blues won't get me down
get me down
because i got these dreams
great white northern dreams
we're covered in red and white
in red and white
like Alpha Flight
we wear a maple leaf
a maple leaf
cause we believe
in dreams
great white northern dreams
in dreams
great white northern dreams
in dreams
great white northern dreams

On the Sea

there’s a boy
there’s always a boy
and the sea
there’s a girl
there’s always a girl
dreams about the city
with a spear
with a net
on the sea
there’s the catch
there’s the loss
and the sea
oh he’s never going ashore
born on the water die on the water
oh she bends down to the floor
dives in the water dies in the water
on the deck
she does her job
and hates the sea
out in the waves
he takes a breath
smoke in his eyes
in the net
a man drowns
she hauls his weight
through a line
she takes in air
lungs on fire
oh he’s never going ashore
born on the water die on the water
oh she bends down to the floor
dives in the water dies in the water
sail until the sun sets
live on the water love on the water
anchored on an inlet
fight on the water cry on the water
there’s a bar near the docks
where she knows she can go
there’s a current to the south
he says there’s pearls on the shoal
there’s a tide coming in
there’s a change in the wind
what we want what we love it don’t always fit in
oh he’s never going ashore
lives on the water alone on the water
oh she looks out from the top floor
out at the water cries by the water oh he’s never going ashore
born on the water die on the water
oh she bends down to the floor
dives in the water dies in the water
live on the water
love on the water
fight on the water
dive in the water
born on the water
die on the water

doctor’s radio plays a sad song
the assistant turns it up to hear better
drinking beer and grading papers
blurry thoughts numbers and letters
dj backsells the last half-hour
for these lonely souls awake near midnight
same damn story it was the last time
we are alone in the fading light
i look up into the night sky
search for a signal i know is true
somehow somewhere out of all them bright stars
there’s gotta be one that might be you

listen to your heart
and listen to your breath
look to the sky
you're closer to death
forget about your heart
take a deep breath
squint at the page
read what's left
remember your heart
remember to breathe
remember the sky
it's time to leave
listen to your heart
forget about your heart
remember your heart
closer to death

nobody's anyone's anything anymore
you all are losing in this shitty little war
fly that flag high and sing anthems
loud still going down in history still going down
tell me why tell me why it makes sense
keep a good woman on a leash and behind a fence
put guards on the wall promises on paper
consequences punishments before during and later
I don't believe determinism wins all
like a card you throw in poker that lets you take it all
some things we learn and you can unlearn 'em
jealousy can focus you but in the end it's going to burn and
how many girlfriends are you going to go through
allege betrayal when they don't pay enough attention to you
nuclear families fall out when the fission starts
god ain't in our hearts ain't in our private parts
nobody's anyone's anything anymore
nobody's anyone's anything anymore
nobody's anyone's anything anymore
nobody's anyone's anything anymore

Alberta Is on Fire

Alberta is on fire
reporters on the highway
tailights at the on ramp
headlights through the smoke
Alberta is on fire
wind came ‘round to south west
propane tanks exploding
choppers dumping water
Alberta is on fire
don’t know where they’re going
no food and no water
tank of gas half empty
Alberta is on fire
all day getting darker
embers falling down
night is coming on
Alberta is on fire
Kashechewan is drowning

break the things scream the words
say good-bye slam the door
hitch a ride out of here
this two-bit town in Ontario
highway take me home
from this woman who took me apart
under halogen lights
back to the city back to the city with heart
bright sunshine big blue sky
such good friends such good times
please get me out out of here
this two-bit town in Ontario
highway take me home
from this woman who took me apart
under halogen lights
back to the city back to the city with heart
black bloc blues won’t do you no good
country mouse stay in your neighbourhood
hitch a ride go back home
to your little town in Ontario
highway take me home
from this woman who took me apart
under halogen lights
back to the city back to the city with heart
