Courage

by Sarah Polley Mychael Danna

on The Sweet Hereafter (1997)

Watch the band through a bunch of dancers
Quickly, follow the unknown
With something more familiar
Quickly, something familiar

Courage, my word
It didn't come, it doesn't matter

Sleepwalk, so fast asleep
In the motel that has the lay of home
And piss on all of your background
And piss on all your surroundings

Courage, my word
It didn't come, it doesn't matter
Courage, my word
It didn't come, it doesn't matter, uh-huh-huh
Courage, my word
It didn't come, it doesn't matter, uh-huh-huh
Courage couldn't come at a worse time

There's no simple explanation
For anything important any of us do
Yeah, the human tragedy
Consists in the necessity
Of living with the consequences
Under pressure, under pressure

Courage, my word
It didn't come, it doesn't matter, uh-huh-huh
Courage, my word
It didn't come, it doesn't matter, uh-huh-huh
Courage, my word
It didn't come, it doesn't matter
Courage couldn't come at a worse time
(Worse time)
