How to Format Lyrics:

  • Type out all lyrics, even repeating song parts like the chorus
  • Lyrics should be broken down into individual lines
  • Use section headers above different song parts like [Verse], [Chorus], etc.
  • Use italics (<i>lyric</i>) and bold (<b>lyric</b>) to distinguish between different vocalists in the same song part
  • If you don’t understand a lyric, use [?]

Genius Annotation

One of the most popular songs on Neon Bible, “No Cars Go” is an epic anthem that builds to a joyous climax, but is still one of the most immediate songs in Arcade Fire’s discography. It tells of late-night escapism from a world dominated by cars and planes.

It was originally recorded for their self-released debut EP, but was spruced up for the release of Neon Bible.
