Digging Up The Heart Lyrics - Singles - Brandon Flowers

Tony came back to town 

With his cap and gown 

That they give him at the state 

Him breaking it every few day 

Tony's mamma said he's only human 

Look what the cat dragged in 

Papa snatched your kin 

Little sister hugs the tin man 

Tony, she's grown 

And she's pretty, in her little black dress 

He's digging up the heart 

To know the price he paid 

You heard me in the train 

When you're in the cage 

And you can smell the rain 

And you can see the sage 

While fretting the highway 

But you can try 

And when you finally put the asphalt to the tyre 

Looks something like sistine 

Or a fire 

Ripping through the dark 

He's digging up the heart 

Digging up the heart 

Digging up the heart 

Well it ain't that strange 

Any boy can change 

Digging up the heart 

One, two, three, for five 

Oh, me, oh, my 

Count the reasons that you shouldn't be messing 

With the sons of perdition 

That were gonna take you down 

The straight and narrow 

You dreaming of another place 

You just can't get 

Like the workmen in the pit 

Little brother, you're a liar to yourself 

I didn't think you'd changed 

It's just another heart 

Ain't there something strange 

When tony left 

They were scratching at the door 

In particular, one, one, hitting more 

Her name was christie 

The queen of old folk county 

But what we'd have loved is the right time, that there day 

Because he met on something nothing, boy got engaged 

Lessons in the dark 

He's digging up the heart 

Digging up the heart 

Digging up the heart 

Well it ain't that strange 

Any boy can change 

He's digging up the heart 

He's digging up the heart 

Digging up the heart 

With a little luck 

With the times getting rough 

Digging up the heart 

Well the perp's got his hands up 

And his mind's on the march 

The thirty day beneath the register 

He's digging up the heart 

Digging up the heart 

Digging up the heart 

Well it ain't that strange 

Any boy can change 

He's digging up the heart 

You're digging up the heart 

Digging up the heart 

With a little luck 

With the times getting rough 

Digging up the heart 

Well it ain't that strange 

Even boys can change 

Digging up the heart
