Cigarettes, Wedding Bands Lyrics - Cease To Begin - Band Of Horses

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 

(bridge) 

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....
