Cigarettes, Wedding Bands

[Verse 1:]
The working man's day, we just piss it away
We sit out in the weather
Familiar he said, time soon breeds contempt
Wash your hands of it forever.

[Pre-Chorus:]
Violence it ripped through the old dogwood fence
See the whole scene unravel
The drunk brother said he could reason with them.

[Chorus:]
While they lied at night, they lied at night
While they lied
While they lied at night, they lied at night
While they lied.

[Verse 2:]
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.

[Pre-Chorus:]
The dead folks in the clouds, for crying out loud.

[Chorus:]
While they lied at night, they lied at night
While they lied
While they lied at night, they lied at night
While they lied.

[Bridge:]
And why did we live so long?
Long, long.

[Pre-Chorus:]
The house is not the same since we left it that day
Old friends seem to wander
Our parents' hands, cigarettes, wedding bands.

[Chorus:]
While they lied at night, they lied at night
While they lied
While they lied at night, they lied at night
While they lied.

[Bridge:]
And why did we live so long?
Long, long.

[Chorus:]
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.
