lyrics

we've seen three seasons today
they say that the gold coast it won't never change
I find the fault lines in your face
I find the faults that baby we all need to face

but they say, but they say we won't never change
and they say, and they say maybe it's too late
you don't say, you don't say we could be so great
we could be so great

leaving regrets out west
and comin back and everything's the same
I heard that you been gettin clean
but I know that baby you ain't comin back to me

cos they say, cos they say I won't never change
and they say, and they say maybe it's too late
you don't say, you don't say we could be so great
we could be so grea-a-at

they think of us, they pray for us, without any faith
let's give ourselves up to the dust, bodies breathin air to waste
we'll hang ourselves out in the sun, we turn white til we burn
cos if I'm gettin burned I'll set myself on fire first
they think of us, they pray for us, without any faith
let's give ourselves up to the RUST, bodies breathin air to waste
we'll hang ourselves out in the sun, we turn white til we burn
cos if we're gettin burned I'll set us both on fire first

and they say, and they say damn I'm glad we've gotten away
from this place, from this place where nothin don't never change
so don't say, please don't say we could've been so great
we could've been so great

Hoosier rust-folk titty babies with guitars
