The New Pornographers - Calligraphy Lyrics

The New Pornographers Lyrics

"Calligraphy"

The trick with poison, you sip
God knows it's Armageddon somewhere
Action and reaction
The new calligraphy
The motion of a brush, as natural, unplanned
As a stick through the sand, yeah

The trick with poison, you blend
God knows it's Armageddon somewhere
Traditional in the technique
But then again
It's more ink spilled than anything
More ink spilled than anything

Delivered, delivered
Delivered, delivered
With love, with love, with love
Delivered, delivered
Delivered, delivered
With love, with love, with love

The trick with poison, you sip
God knows it's Armageddon somewhere
Attack and decay
Our new calligraphers
The motion of a brush, as natural, unplanned
As a stick through the sand, yeah

The trick with poison, you give
A tree bending with the wind
Traditional in the technique
But then again
It's more ink spilled than anything
More ink spilled than anything

Delivered, delivered
Delivered, delivered
With love, with love, with love
Delivered, delivered
Delivered, delivered
With love, with love, with love

The trick with poison, you sip
The trick with poison, you sip

Delivered, delivered
Delivered, delivered
With love, with love, with love
