"Mutiny, I Promise You" by the New Pornographers
Album: Challengers
{The intro and verses have an off-kilter feel because after every
four bars of 4/4 time, there is an extra bar of 2/4.}

Sweetheart, I was trapped in transit
My lost ride
When your wild eye wandered here lady
Go out by the sweetheart tree
But don't let go
It's how my friend history here made me
{Prechorus: 5/4 time -- C for four beats, G on the fifth beat}
What's the weight of the world worth to ya, kid
Go write down what you see
And see how far it can go
What's the weight of the world worth to your side
Here is where you got lost
And here is how you got by
{Chorus: just 4/4}
And here's the mutiny I promised you
And here's the party it turned into
Heartbeat, you abandoned searches
Your lost ride
You're in my lost country now lady
Sweethearts in the crosstown wild
You don't let go
To the new live history goes with me
What's the weight of the world worth to ya, kid
Go write down what you see
And see how far it can go
What's the weight of the world worth to your side
Here is where you got lost
And here is how you got by
And here's the mutiny I promised you
And here's the party it turned into
And here's the mutiny I promised you
And here's the moment it turned into [x4]
Sweetheats on the green
Flung pistols in high tide
Move like my friend history here told me
Clear-skied when the clear eye opened
My new moon to the new land
Won't you come with me
What's the weight of the world worth to ya, kid
Go write down what you see
And see how far it can go
What's the weight of the world worth to your side
Here is where you got lost
And here is how you got by
And here's the mutiny I promised you
And here's the party it turned into
And here's the mutiny I promised you
And here's the moment it turned into
