Band Of Horses Cigarettes Wedding Bands Lyrics

Cigarettes Wedding Bands Lyrics

Working man's day wage, just piss it away

Leaves it out in the weather



Failure, he said, times two breeds contempt

Wash your hands of it
forever



Violence it ripped through the old dogwood fence

See
the hope, see it 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

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 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....
