High Ticket Attractions Lyrics
[Verse 1: A.C. Newman & Kathryn Calder]
You can imagine all the factions
That form around high ticket attractions
High on the spirit, hopped up and mystic
After the flame baptism you're fearless
[Pre-Chorus 1: A.C. Newman]
You know the science of falling
You have your calling
You know the song
[Verse 2: A.C. Newman & Kathryn Calder]
The Magna Carta, it's underwater
We left it there for the sons and the daughters
One day they'll find it; they'll be reminded
When we live undersea like we ought to
[Pre-Chorus 2: A.C. Newman]
Didn't know flying from falling
Clueless, the poor thing
Sad to report
Didn't know losing from learning
Wheels were turning
You know the song
[Chorus: A.C. Newman & Kathryn Calder]
This thing could go two ways
Won't be another exit for days
So pack a small suitcase
Anything else can be easily replaced
[Verse 3: A.C. Newman & Kathryn Calder]
You feel the suction, the call to action
That will surround high ticket attractions
You want to travel, want to unravel
Take the experience to the next level
[Pre-Chorus 3: A.C. Newman]
With no respect for the warning
The violence of yearning
Defiance of learning
In protected encryption
The voice of addiction
You know the song
[Chorus: A.C. Newman & Kathryn Calder]
This thing could go two ways
Won't be another exit for days
So pack a small suitcase
Anything else can be easily replaced
[Bridge: A.C. Newman & Kathryn Calder]
You know the song
You know the song
You know the song
You know the song
[Verse 4: A.C. Newman & Kathryn Calder]
You can imagine all the factions
That form around high ticket attractions
Just like the Mayans took all their science
And dumped it all in the drink and went silent
[Pre-Chorus 4: A.C. Newman]
They knew the science of falling
They had their calling
You know the song
[Chorus: A.C. Newman & Kathryn Calder]
This thing could go two ways
Won't be another exit for days
So pack a small suitcase
Anything else can be easily replaced
[Chorus: A.C. Newman & Kathryn Calder]
This thing could go two ways
Won't be another exit for days
So pack a small suitcase
Anything else can be easily replaced

What did The New Pornographers say about "High Ticket Attractions"?
“High Ticket Attractions” is completely about Trump panic. I know people have a hard time following my lyrics, but the whole idea of that song is, “Holy shit, what if this happens?” It seems like we were constantly reassuring ourselves with “It’s not going to happen"—but what if it does?
