Band Of Horses - Cigarettes, Wedding Bands

"The working man's day, we just piss it away,
We sit out in the weather,
Familiar," he said, "times two breeds contempt,
Wash you hands of it forever."

Violence, it ripped through the old dogwood fence,
See the whole scene unravel.
Drunk brother said he could reason with them...

While they lied at night,
They lied  at night, while they lied,
While they lied at night,
They lied  at night, while they lied...

The picture was left on the front porch, The back said
"I love you. Don't you ever think of me?"
If my body goes, then to hell with my soul,
We don't even know the difference.

But "dead folk's in the clouds",
For crying out loud!

While they lied at night,
They lied  at night, while they lied,
While they lied at night,
They lied  at night, while they lied...

And why did we live so long?

The house's not the same
Since we left it that day,
Old friends seem to wander.
Our parents' hands, cigarettes, wedding bands...

While they lied at night,
They lied  at night, while they lied,
While they lied at night,
They lied  at night, while they lied...

And why did we live so long?...
