BAND OF HORSES – Cigarettes, Wedding Bands Lyrics
“Cigarettes, Wedding Bands”
Working man’s day wage, just piss it away
Leaves it out in the weather
familiar times two breeds contempt
Wash your hands of it forever
Violence it ripped through the old dogwood fence
See the hope, see the gravel
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, well that’s it
I love you, don’t you ever think of me?
My body knows then to hell with my soul
We don’t even know the difference
The dead folks 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
So long
So long
bridge
The house is not the same since we left it that day
Old friends seem to wonder
Our parents had cigarettes, wedding bells
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
So long
So long
bridge
While they lied at night, they lied at night, while they lied
While they lied at night, they lied at night, while they lied
While they lied at night, they lied at night, while they lied
Oh….
