The New Pornographers
A Drug Deal of the Heart
You're in the mim by the strip lights
Shadow tall on the tarmac
Captured coat, drop where you walk
As you know

You are stopped in your tracks, kid
Set new records and exit
On the wing, where did you think
You'd go?
Again too slow

[Chorus]
You're better late, maybe never
It's a drug deal of the heart gone right
It's a drug deal of the heart
A drug deal of the heart

Revelatory exchanges
Are played out on the tarmac
One last breath does not make a plot
Again too slow

[chorus
You're better late, maybe never
It's a drug deal of the heart gone right
It's a drug deal of the heart
A drug deal of the heart
It's a drug deal of the heart
A drug deal of the heart
