Superhero: II. Early Loss - Boston Modern Orchestra Project, Gil Rose & Robert Schulz

Good love's a prison, but it could never hold me You break your own heart, my mother told me And this was never the time for your gentleman call Don't tell me that it's your first time around Nobody ever gets used to the sound You know this city was built for the wrecking ball I hope you know what you're doing You don't know what you're asking I've got a romance with ruin, and we're only Modern dancing Baby, you know it's no difference to me You've been the same throughout history It's a different face, but it's always the same set of eyes There's time for everything runnin' its course You know I've been a whore and a soldier of fortune And no matter which way you play, it's all secrets and lies I hope you know what you're doing You don't know what you're asking I've got a romance with ruin, and we're only Modern dancing Star-crossed and ridin' on Heaven's horses I've had enough of these cosmic divorces You know in the end that we only end up on our own Still I'm in love with what's falling apart And this just seems like another false start And it's not for lack of trying It's just that I can't seem to get it going I hope you know what you're doing You don't know what you're asking I've got a romance with ruin, and we're only Modern dancing Modern dancing Modern dancing Modern dancing Modern dancing

Long way, going to get my medicine Sky's the autumn grey of a lonely wren Piano from a window played Gone tomorrow, gone yesterday Found it in the street At first I did not see Lying at my feet, a trampled rose Passing the hat in church It never stops going 'round You never pay just once To get the job done What I done to me I done to you What happened to the trampled rose? In the muddy street With the fireworks and leaves A blind man with a cup I asked Would he sing "Kisses Sweeter Than Wine"? I know this rose Like I know my name The one I gave my love It was the same Now I find it in the street, a trampled rose

I remember how it all started Feeling warm 'til the summer was over And our little lives, it felt so big then We're only reaching stars, and I am a big black sky And you said to me If you love me, then say you love me And you are mine Hey, come on, darling, stop the hiding Speak your mind Whoa, I loved you, but you left me speechless then So, if you love me, then say you love me And you are mine I remember how it all started Feeling warm 'til the summer was over And our little lives, it felt so big then We're only reaching stars, and I am a big black sky And you said to me If you love me, then say you love me And you are mine Hey, come on, darling, stop the hiding Speak your mind Whoa, I loved you, but you left me speechless then So, if you love me then say you love me And you are mine You left me speechless, speechless You left me speechless You left me speechless, speechless You left me speechless, speechless So, if you love me, then say you love me And you are mine Hey, come on, darling, speechless

Why can't everybody know what's good Cause some gon' hate what's new Cause some gon' hate what's new Cause some gon' hate what's new We just do our thing, no time to waste Always play it cool And at the end of the night when the lights go out, will we turn down? Oh, no, we won't And when they try to make us leave we turn and say we never going home I wanna rock with somebody I wanna leave with somebody I wanna rock with somebody And we ain't gotta tell nobody, we ain't gotta tell nobody Why can't everybody know what's good We are only plug Bring us everything we think we need Tonight is going up And at the end of the night when the lights go out, will we turn down? Oh, no, we won't And when they try to make us leave we turn and say we never going home I wanna rock with somebody I wanna leave with somebody I wanna rock with somebody And we ain't gotta tell nobody, we ain't gotta tell nobody We ain't gotta tell nobody I wanna rock with somebody I wanna leave with somebody I wanna rock with somebody And we ain't gotta tell nobody, we ain't gotta tell nobody End
