Arms Like Boulders Lyrics - Wagonwheel Blues - The War On Drugs

And so now 

Now that you realized that planets are spheres 

With oil on the inside 

And your god is only a catapult waiting for the right time to let you go 

Into the unknown 

Just to watch you hold your breath 

Yeah and surrender your fortress 

And your thoughts will tumble like rocks do 

Over the valleys of factory oceans 

The Turkish carpets are flapping as the wind 

Drops you down to the surface 

Yeah you're looking for the sweethearts 

And you're, you're the kind to hide your eyes from the sun 

And in your world, the strong survive 

But I won't take my body down 

Let me tell you 

Your arms are like boulders 

And your shoulders are cliffs 

But your head keeps rolling off 

And your spine it is weak and the weights on your shoulders 

From difference of opinion 

There is a song you hear on the radio 

It's a funeral march so you change the channel 

But it's all you hear as you're driving up the 101 from Mexico to California 

There's no snow when you're looking for your sweethearts 

Yeah there's no snow when you're looking for your answers 

And you're, you're the kind to hide your eyes from the sun 

And in your world the strong survive 

But I won't take my body down 

And by the time they get your letter of explanation 

You'll be dead and gone 

Barking up a new tree 

And I've got some new friends scaring off the families while tying up your lose ends 

Chasing squirrels around your property 

Making sure that they know that this is your kingdom 

And nothing will stop it 

Yeah nothing will stop it 

If nothing will stop it 

Yeah nothing will stop it 

And you're, you're the kind to hide your eyes from the sun 

And in your world the strong survive 

But won't you lay your body down 

Yes and now, now's the time to wrap your ears around the sound 

Of your train coming round 

You'll have to lay everything down
