About

This is a song of ours that I don’t think gets enough love. A great Neko lead vocal, and I just love the way it moves. I was going for a kind of Squeeze “Annie Get Your Gun” vibe, with the combination of synth and acoustic. I also love the harmony vocals on this one.

This Is the World of the Theater Lyrics

[Verse 1: Neko Case]
Since they've come, I've tried to go it straight
But I've got no clue how to
Was gonna make it up just now, try to
Come up with some high-brow move

Kid gloves, and stranger loves you've known
You sort it out somehow
You used to chime in quietly, you sing
But you're a moaner now

Think of all the life we're saving
Think of all the waves we're breaking

[Pre-Chorus: Neko Case]
Is it too late to live in your heart
Too late to burn all your civilian clothes?
As you break into a million parts
Too late to learn it? Yes, we're all elbows

[Chorus: Neko Case and A.C. Newman]
Conquerors at the daybreak
Conquerors at the daybreak
This is the world of the theater
This is the world of the theater

[Verse 2: Neko Case and A.C. Newman]
All the phantom minor notes they passed
You on your way to dying
They called you from their hiding places on
The shoulders of your giants

Think of all the cold they're braving
Think of all the ways we're caving

[Pre-Chorus: Neko Case]
Is it too late to live in your heart
Too late to burn all your civilian clothes?
As you break into a million parts
Too late to learn it, will it come to blows?

[Chorus: Neko Case and A.C. Newman]
Conquerors at the daybreak
Conquerors at the daybreak
This is the world of the theater
This is the world of the theater

[Pre-Chorus: Neko Case]
Is it too late to live in your heart
Too late to burn all your civilian clothes?
As you break into a million parts
Too late to learn it? Yes, we're all elbows

[Chorus: Neko Case and A.C. Newman]
Conquerors at the daybreak
Conquerors at the daybreak
Conquerors at the daybreak
Conquerors at the daybreak
This is the world of the theater
This is the world of the theater
