No Cars Go Lyrics

Performed by The Arcade Fire

We know a place where no planes go
We know a place where no ships go

(Hey!) No cars go
(Hey!) No cars go
Where we know

We know a place no space ships go
We know a place where no subs go

(Hey!) No cars go
(Hey!) No cars go
Where we know

(Hey!)
(Hey!)
(No go!)

(Hey!) Us kids know
(Hey!) No cars go
Where we know

Between the click of the light and the start of the dream [4x]

I like this song | Reviewer: Anonymous | 3/2/11

Today was the second time i listened it but i could tell i had listened it somewhere long time ago. the best thing is the creativity they have input thus a good mood and lots of memories.

Some people can perform.

Concept | Reviewer: antigone | 11/20/10

I've always seen Neon Bible as a concept album... not just sharing a common thread (as mentioned before; disillusionment, and the failure of the American dream), but an actual story line. No Cars Go is like the narrative of the death of the "soldier", mentioned directly in Intervention, and whose point of view is used first in Keep The Car Running, adn then again in Windowsill (and other songs, depending on how you look at it.) He is the elder brother of a girl ("your little baby sister's gonna lose her mind"), and presumably the son of her religious fanatic father (in Windowsill he mentions that he "don't wanna live while his father's dead" adn "Don't wanna live in his father's house no more"). He's obviously suffered a lot, adn this song celelbrates the freedom of his demise. The references to "women and children, let's go", may be references to his remaing chivalry as a soldier.

K is wrong. | Reviewer: Ezekiel | 9/24/10

This song was written by Arcade Fire. It was first released on 2003 on Arcade Fire's self-titled EP. Owen Pallett didn't start to work with the Arcade Fire until they started recording Funeral. KTHXBYE.

The song is awesome, BTw.

K.....??? | Reviewer: HMagne | 7/24/09

Funny K...If Owen Pallet wrote the song ,then why is he listed for covering Arcade Fire on Youtube when playing no cars go? I personally enjoyed his version more.It was fantastic and that is the fact with Arcade Fires version too.Both versions are a plessant axperience....STOP-THINK-UNDERSTAND....

the place | Reviewer: Pedro | 7/1/09

i believe everyone is right it is about that place as youths we go in the night and in the day... it is our imagination our wonderland and also the great beyond as he says in the song at one point close to the end "don't know where we're going" could be a reference to growing up or dying and moving on but always no matter what keep that place in our memories... that place where no cars go...

I too miss that place. | Reviewer: Bill Blake | 4/10/09

I think most people have a place like this. When I was around ten years of age[long time ago],I had a boombox that could get short wave signals. Late at night when it was cold & windy outside with a foot of snow, I would stay up & listen to stations in europe& anywhere else in the world. Here I was in this little town...so cold outside...so warm in my room, next to my bed with the headphones on....listening to music & sounds from what seem to me a different planet....WOW! It my sound silly, but it was pure magic for me & I will never forget it....NEVER! I love this song.

I miss that place. | Reviewer: tony | 4/3/09

It's about the innocence of youth, and how high dreams fly when you're a child. That moment when you're a kid, right before you fall asleep, when the world is full of magic. No man made mode of transportation can get there.

It's the hope that we as adults can still hold onto those dreams of youth, still reach that place.

Antithesis to a heavy, thoughtful, disallusioned meditation | Reviewer: craig | 1/25/08

I think Neon Bible best sums up exactly how I feel about this time and place. The album stacks layer upon layer of disallusioned frustration: the failure of religion, the failure of the American Dream. Windowsill cuts right to the bone of it: "I don't wanna live in America no more".

And then, when the anger ebbs into an almost defeated exhaustion, No Cars Go comes from nowhere. It infuses into this long, sober meditation an immense shock of hope: don't lose sight, don't grow up TOO fast. This song is the escape hatch, and he's taking everyone along: "women and children -- LETS GO!". Brilliant.

incredible | Reviewer: Anonymous | 1/20/08

Never really listened to this song much mainly as its at the end of the album and i don't always get through but it certainly is now one of my favourites.
I guess everyone has their own take on it. I took it as meaning the power of imagination and dreams and how they can be uncluttered by the everyday that we have created for ourselves, and we can all go there to escape into the unknown.
Either way, i will be seeing them in 5 days! My pores are tingling
