Turn it down 
       
Start it over 
                      
Alone is such an ugly game 

Pay it back 
Pay it forward 
Nothing means nothing to me 

             
So they went down to the station 

They were looking for a ride 

They were running out of ink
 
They were running out of time
 
Yeah 
             
And with the color of the whistle 

with the sounding of the smoke 

I repeat it in a picture
 
I repeat it in a joke 

Yeah 

Yeah 

Loud clothes 
Quiet earrings 
Black nights 
White shadows 
A bone and a key 

Old flames 
Dead ex widows 
Someone has been done to me 

So they believe that their conductor 
Is the leader of the pack 
Killing time and too conductive
They were never looking back 
Yeah 

And the table had to chase it 
And the time hollered back 
And the thanks that cut the cable 
And they're running out of tracks 
Yeah 
Yeah 

                          
So they kissed the farmer's daughters 
                        
With their pockets full of gold
                          
And they draw the shades of markets 
                      
On the corner of the window 
                    
And the kid under the kitchen 
             
In an un-marked grave 
                     
They're uncovering the old
