On a tear
Under siege, under oath
Anna Lee, won't you come?
Strap yourself to my side
With our will in disguise
We've got more lives
Than I ever dreamed
You could own at one time
There's a shake with the shock
And a gift off with them
They carry the dust of the failing wisdom
For you, there's not any warning
For you, there's not any warning
And love is five in the morning
For you, there's not any warning
On a tear
Cautiously we advance
Anna Lee, won't you come?
Pass the torch, bring your hands
Yes and no
There's no right, but we have no
Better light to see through
To our star bodies go
There's a shake with the shock
And a gift off with them
They carry the dust of the failing wisdom
For you, there's not any warning
For you, there's not any warning
And love is five in the morning
For you, there's not any warning
Now take me to where your sister lives
Take me to where your sister lives
Take me to where your sister lives
Take me to where your sister lives
On a tear
Far from home by a thread
Anna Lee, what's been said?
Has to say between us
Call me over
I trust we lay here
Until we must make our break
To our star bodies go
There's a shake with the shock
And a gift off with them
They carry the dust of the failing wisdom
For you, there's not any warning
For you, there's not any warning
And love is five in the morning
For you, there's not any warning
Until we skip through the towns
To the bright sweet past on
And bury the dust of the failing wisdom
For you, there's not any warning
For you, there's not any warning
And love is five in the morning
For you, there's not any warning
Now take me to where your sister lives
Take me to where your sister lives
Under siege, under oath
Anna Lee, won't you come?
Strap yourself to my side
With our will in disguise
We've got more lives
Than I ever dreamed
You could own at one time
There's a shake with the shock
And a gift off with them
They carry the dust of the failing wisdom
For you, there's not any warning
For you, there's not any warning
And love is five in the morning
For you, there's not any warning
On a tear
Cautiously we advance
Anna Lee, won't you come?
Pass the torch, bring your hands
Yes and no
There's no right, but we have no
Better light to see through
To our star bodies go
There's a shake with the shock
And a gift off with them
They carry the dust of the failing wisdom
For you, there's not any warning
For you, there's not any warning
And love is five in the morning
For you, there's not any warning
Now take me to where your sister lives
Take me to where your sister lives
Take me to where your sister lives
Take me to where your sister lives
On a tear
Far from home by a thread
Anna Lee, what's been said?
Has to say between us
Call me over
I trust we lay here
Until we must make our break
To our star bodies go
There's a shake with the shock
And a gift off with them
They carry the dust of the failing wisdom
For you, there's not any warning
For you, there's not any warning
And love is five in the morning
For you, there's not any warning
Until we skip through the towns
To the bright sweet past on
And bury the dust of the failing wisdom
For you, there's not any warning
For you, there's not any warning
And love is five in the morning
For you, there's not any warning
Now take me to where your sister lives
Take me to where your sister lives

"On a tear far from home by a thread
Anna Lee, what's been said has to say between us "
With Anna Lee
Star bodies are who they are in this magical place, where they can act on impulse, not thinking of all the things they've been told to do, and leaving those people who have told them to do those things - "There's a shake with the shock
and a gift off with them
they carry the dust of the failing wisdom "
And your sister's there in this dreamland too.
Ahh! I don't know. The New Pornographers are just too amazing to figure out. I love the whimsical imagery of this song.
