- Cigarettes, Wedding Bands LyricsThe 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....
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...
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....
