Rapid Fire lyrics

by

Leonard Cohen


[Verse 1]
It was a time too tired for rapid fire
Cages spilled their guts out into the streets
Spinal lovers solving puzzles
Trying to breathe some life into the heat
May the storm dissolve your presence
Or your legend for a second while it fills your past
Say you’re sorry for absolving
Say you’re mad because you couldn’t make it last

[Chorus]
And suddenly
I was unconscious
Trying to pull something from this
I looked at claws instead of birds
And chased the meaning from the words

[Verse 2]
Seemed like a million lauding over leveled songs
Music whispered out of comas incomplete
The notes are all fractured, the bars are decayed
Carve that serenade to a lover’s leap
May a smile convert your figure to a flow
Or a river driving fingerprints into snow
Say you’ll swim because the sinking requires too much thought
Say you’ll breathe because in leaving you have nowhere else to go
Say you’ll breathe because in leaving you have nowhere else to go
[Chorus]
And suddenly
I was unconscious
Trying to pull something from this
I looked at claws instead of birds
And chased the meaning from the words

[Outro]
Say you’ll breathe because in leaving you have nowhere else to go
Say you’ll breathe because in leaving you have nowhere else to go
