Follow The Lights

Follow the lights that line the streets
G
C
Connecting telephones Follow the lights from house to house And they will lead you home They will lead you home 'Cause there was never anywhere to go There was never anywhere to go But home If every second year is true Our love is strong enough to guide the way we walk through Hands inside of hands Hearts inside of hearts Like eyes closed Side by side and through Follow the lights that line the streets Connecting telephones Follow the lights from house to house And they will lead you home They will lead you home 'Cause there was never anywhere to go There was never anywhere to go But home If everything we are is true Our memories are attics in those houses on the hill Our love is there above us holding everything so still And we are always here Yes we are always here So follow the lights that line the streets Connecting telephones Follow the lights from house to house And they will lead you home They will lead you home 'Cause there was never anywhere to go There was never anywhere to go There was never anywhere to go But home, home

| ... Fool's gold, fool's gold Her sister Hattie had a ship But it had no sail Her husband hit her and he split her lip He said he'd kill her if he thought she would tell The streets were empty on the 4th of July The fires burned in the sticks The bells were ringing from the church of the saints

... Fool's Gold! They watched her walk in from the roof of their house She had a gun in her purse Mary Lisa could have left on a train She wasn't sure which was worse Her brother Daniel knew a guy in the stretch He had some horses and a grudge The other option was a Mexican jail

... Fool's Gold! They cast a shadow on the dusted remains The broken bottles cut the earth She saw a rifle sticking out of the brush She grabbed the gun from her purse Mary Lisa threw the sacks in the car The bullets cut into the breeze Fool's gold can buy you Mexican jewels
A
But it can't buy the police Fool's gold can buy you anything you want Fool's gold, fool's gold Fool's gold can buy you anything you want Fool's gold, fool's gold Fool's Gold!

Nobody Listens To Silence

Em
C
Em
Nobody listens to silence like your girl Widening the margins, mouthing the words Letters flying fast, turning into words Sweeping the floor, making room Pulling up the carpet, staples and all Newspapers underneath and over Shards of broken glass punched into the corner with your foot Just in case your girl got up Decided to dance, gave you a moment To collect yourself Took your hand and a wink, with the second guess you lose The spot in your long line of losses Oh, no second chance You dream your sweaty brow into the pocket And the pit becomes something with no bottom under it While she fucks him like a fucking machine Greased to the bolts till the bolts come off and her dress goes limp Torn from her leg to the seam From the seam to her leg, listening to her say his name and beg Nobody listens to silence like your girl Nobody listens to silence like your girl With your ear to the door and eye to the keyhole And into the floor smashed like a train On the side of a bridge, suitcases burning Orange lines Over the underpass People on telephones, people answering Hair dye smudged on the sides of the tub A bit on the ears and the crest of the forehead Your mother used to kiss and you got to school, you're broken up Your signal went static, your killer confessed And your soda went flat, your arm went numb You smoked until your voice went old, stinking of rum And bugs in the kitchen, so fucked between the lines Looking for the highlights, she loves him like her man Smoking cigarettes with him on the edge of the bed Nobody listens to silence like your girl Nobody listens to silence like your girl Nobody listens to silence like your girl Nobody listens to silence like your girl Nobody listens to silence

The car's on empty, it rattles and rusts Whatever misses is permanent A red wine stain or a scar Like one of those if you flip the negative Knew who I was, even before I even knew, now just look who we are

When I close my eyes, and I'm lying here with you Whatever this is is everything My feet are sore and blue Everything I ever said I did before Was just to get me here, get me here next to you And these wheels turn fast These wheels turn bright Reflecting every moon that long goes shining Shining through the dark of the night These wheels turn fast These wheels turn bright Reflecting every moon that long goes shining Shining through the dark of the night Shining through the dark of the night Shining through the dark of the night Shining through the dark of the night Shining through the dark of the night
