Texty: Band Of Horses. Cease to Begin. 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 your 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

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

Long
Long

The house is not the same since we left it that day
Old friends seem to wander
Our parents had 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...
Long...
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....
