A.C. Newman and Neko Case sing a duet, with Neko Case very much taking the lead, accompanied by understated instrumentals and backing harmony.

Challengers Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Yes I know it was late
We were greeting the sun, before long
And you live with someone
I live with somebody too, leave it there
For safe keeping
Wander the West Village in flames
That was the custom come dawn
[Verse 2]
On the water today
In the shade of the sun we wrote down
Another vision of us
We were the challengers of the unknown
"Be safe", you say
Whatever the mess you are, you're mine, okay
If that is the custom, I'm down
[Bridge]
Na-na na-na na-na, na-na na-na
Na-na na-na na-na na na-na-na na-na-na
Na-na na-na na-na, na-na na-na
Na-na na-na na-na na na-na-na na-na-na
Na-na na-na na-na, na-na na-na
Na-na na-na na-na na na-na-na na-na-na
Na-na na-na na-na, na-na na-na
Na-na na-na na-na na na-na-na na-na-na
[Verse 3]
Until I see you around
Until we clear the accounts leave it there
Leave it to us
We are the challengers of the unknown
Oh-la, oh-la, oh-la, oh-la
Oh-la, oh-la, oh-la, oh-la

What did The New Pornographers say about "Challengers"?
I remember very early on thinking, “Challengers” has to be a total ballad. And in the end, I think there were no drums on “Challengers.” I think it’s just like a shaker and a few other things. And of course, that’s song’s very dear to my heart, ’cause it’s basically about the first night I was hangi...
