Ready To Start (remixed By Damian Taylor & Arcade Fire) Lyrics & Chords By Arcade Fire

If the businessmen drink my blood
Like the kids in art school said they would
Then I guess I'll just begin again
You say, "Can we still be friends?"
If I was scared, I would and if I was bored, you know I would
And if I was yours, but I'm not
All the kids have always known
That the emperor wears no clothes
But they bow down to him anyway
It's better than being alone
If I was scared, I would and if I was bored, you know I would
And if I was yours, but I'm not
Now you're knocking at my door
Saying "Please come out with us tonight"
But I would rather be alone
Than pretend I feel alright
If the businessmen drink my blood
Like the kids in art school said they would
Then I guess I'll just begin again
You say, "Can we still be friends?"
If I was scared, I would and if I was pure, you know I would
And if I was yours, but I'm not, now I'm ready to start
If I was scared, I would and if I was pure, you know I would
And if I was yours, but I'm not, now I'm ready to start, now I'm ready to start
I would rather be wrong than live in the shadows of your song
My mind is open wide and now I'm ready to start, now I'm ready to start
My mind is open wide and now I'm ready to start
You're not sure you open the door and step out into the dark, now I'm ready
