Courage by The Tragically Hip:

Watch the band through a bunch of dancers

Quickly, follow the unknown with something more familiar

Quickly, something familiar

Courage, my word, it didn香蕉视频直播檛 come, it doesn香蕉视频直播檛 matter

Sleepwalk, so fast asleep in a 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香蕉视频直播檛 come, it doesn香蕉视频直播檛 matter

Courage, your word, it didn香蕉视频直播檛 come, it doesn香蕉视频直播檛 matter

Courage, my word, it didn香蕉视频直播檛 come, it doesn香蕉视频直播檛 matter

Courage, it couldn香蕉视频直播檛 come at a worse time

There香蕉视频直播檚 no simple explanation

For anything important any of us do

And yeah, the human tragedy

Consists in the necessity

Of living with the consequences

Under pressure, under pressure

Courage, my word, it didn香蕉视频直播檛 come, it doesn香蕉视频直播檛 matter,

Courage, your word, it didn香蕉视频直播檛 come, it doesn香蕉视频直播檛 matter

Courage, my word, it didn香蕉视频直播檛 come, it doesn香蕉视频直播檛 matter

Courage, it couldn香蕉视频直播檛 come at a worse time

It couldn香蕉视频直播檛 come at a worse time

It couldn香蕉视频直播檛 come at a worse time

Courage
