In a vague sense it's a call to arms
Listing hard to the north, a break-neck revelry
It's a paltry deal for the wind and the whistle
and the fallowed fields from here to Red Deer

I watch you watching me trading fear for the gallantry
Specters haunt the outskirts of every small town broken dream

As a chorus of blurry lines egg us on from peripheries,
the atlas flutters frantically in wait
for a fingerprint to challenge the straight lines
Imperfect preconceptions of spatial harmony

I watch you watching me trade fear for the gallantry
Specters haunt the outskirts of every small town broken dream

We are Heartbeat City
Laid down limbs like freeways
Eyes trained on the jet streams
On our backs with fingertips
stretched out like power lines
We transmit signals in source code
We dream in parklands and tall grass
We wake to taillights and urban sprawl
All our words like turbines in prairie winds

Could you shine your light on the best parts of all of us?
