How The West Was Won
Light me a smoke I'll tell you a story Of how the west was won
Flew over diamonds East river shining A city sinking in the mud
And in a second A life long second I knew what we'd become
We use up people, use up time Use up places, we say goodbye Searching for the crowded hour
Now there's a buzzing in the wires Look for lightning in your eyes And I see it there
Hey, hey rock star Let's play happy This could be our final hour
I'll take your picture But who needs pictures? They only strip you of your power
Don't lose your nerve now Feel the curve of the earth now Rising up to meet your feet
We use up people, use up time Use up places, we say goodbye Never find the crowded hour Find more lyrics at ※ Mojim.com
It's time to move the saints again Curse the sun to kill the rain I wish I knew just how
We should have driven Out to the ocean Our hands tied to the wheel
Now something's broken Don't know what's broken Or if I want it healed
We use up people, use up time Use up places, we say goodbye Where the hell's the crowded hour
Scattered thoughts and promises Let the wind take all that's left There's nothing for you here
So take a card and put it back Hide the faces cut the pack The future's not that clear
Light me a smoke I'll tell you a story Of how the west was won
You wanted glory Well, here's your glory Just look what we've become
