This thematically vague but distinctly ominous and dark song is considered by fans to be one of the best Interpol album-opening tracks, perhaps only rivaled by “Untitled” from their acclaimed debut album, Turn on the Bright Lights.

[Chorus]
Show me the dirt pile and I will pray that the soul can take
Three stowaways
You vanish with no guile and I will not pay, but the soul can wait
The soul can wait
[Verse 1]
Well, it's still pretty what with all these leaks, we'll be fine
We'll be fine
But if it's still pretty what with all these leaks, we'll be fine, oh
And supervise
[Chorus]
You show me the dirt pile and I will pray that the soul can take
Three stowaways
Then you vanish with no guile and I will not pay, but the soul can wait
I felt you so much today
[Verse 2]
I know you try
You try, straight into my heart
You fly straight into my heart
Girl, I know you try
You fly straight into my heart
You fly straight into my heart
But here comes the falls
[Bridge]
So much for make-believe, I'm not sold
So much of dreams deceit, I'm not prepared to know
Your heart makes me feel, your heart makes me bold
For always and ever, I'll never let go
Always concealed, safe and inside
Alive
[Chorus]
Show me the dirt pile and I will pray that the soul can take
Three stowaways
In a passion it broke; I pull the black from the gray, but the soul can wait
I felt you so much today
