Ahead By A Century Lyrics by Tragically Hip
Clean Lyric
Paragraph Lyric
First we'd climb a tree and maybe then we'd talk
Or sit silently and listen to our thoughts
With illusions of someday casting a golden light
No dress rehearsal, this is our life
That's when the hornet stung me and I had a feverish dream
With revenge and doubt tonight we smoke them out

You are ahead by a century

Stare in the morning shroud and then the day began
I tilted your cloud, you tilted my hand
Rain falls in real time and rain fell through the night
No dress rehearsal, this is our life

That's when the hornet stung me and I had a serious dream
With revenge and doubt tonight, we smoked them out

You are ahead by a century
But this is our life and disappointing you getting me down
First we'd climb a tree and maybe then we'd talk  Or sit silently and listen to our thoughts  With illusions of someday casting a golden light  No dress rehearsal, this is our life  That's when the hornet stung me and I had a feverish dream  With revenge and doubt tonight we smoke them out    You are ahead by a century    Stare in the morning shroud and then the day began  I tilted your cloud, you tilted my hand  Rain falls in real time and rain fell through the night  No dress rehearsal, this is our life    That's when the hornet stung me and I had a serious dream  With revenge and doubt tonight, we smoked them out    You are ahead by a century  But this is our life and disappointing you getting me down
