[00:01.49] Light me a smoke
[00:04.74] I'll tell you a story
[00:10.48]
[00:11.60] Of how the west was won
[00:16.10]
[00:19.46] Flew over diamonds
[00:23.15]
[00:24.03] East river shining
[00:27.02]
[00:28.39] A city sinking in the mud
[00:34.65]
[00:37.39] And in a second
[00:41.07]
[00:41.82] A life-long second
[00:44.38]
[00:47.26] I knew what we'd become
[00:51.99]
[00:55.25] We use up people, use up time
[01:00.13] Use up places, we say goodbye
[01:04.14] Searching for the crowded hour
[01:10.14]
[01:12.97] Now there's a buzzing in the wires
[01:17.74] Look for lightning in your eyes
[01:23.48] And I see it there
[01:27.13]
[01:48.08] Hey hey Rockstar
[01:52.70] Let's play happy
[01:56.88] This could be our final hour
[02:05.37] I'll take your picture
[02:09.77] But who needs pictures?
[02:13.90] They only strip you of your power
[02:22.81] Don't lose your nerve now
[02:26.80] Feel the curve of the earth now
[02:31.67] Rising up to meet your feet
[02:39.42]
[02:40.24] We use up people, use up time
[02:44.73] Use up places, we say goodbye
[02:48.78] Never find the crowded hour
[02:54.21]
[02:56.33] It's time to move the saints again
[03:01.89] Curse the sun to kill the rain
[03:07.15] I wish I knew just how
[03:12.82]
[03:31.87] We should have driven
[03:36.12] Out to the ocean
[03:40.86]
[03:41.48] Our hands tied to the wheel
[03:49.40] Now something's broken
[03:53.58] Don't know what's broken
[03:57.64]
[03:59.14] Or if I want it healed
[04:03.50]
[04:06.81] We use up people, use up time
[04:11.55] Use up places, we say goodbye
[04:15.67] Where the hell's the crowded hour
[04:22.36]
[04:24.17] Scattered thoughts and promises
[04:28.67] Let the wind take all that's left
[04:33.53] There's nothing for you here
[04:41.18] So take a card and put it back
[04:45.67] Hide the faces cut the pack
[04:49.79] The future's not that clear
[04:56.09]
[05:32.32] Light me a smoke
[05:36.63] I'll tell you a stroy
[05:41.87] Of how the west was won
[05:46.13]
[05:49.62] You wanted glory
[05:53.37]
[05:53.99] Well here's your glory
[05:57.61]
[05:59.23] Just look what we've become
[00:01.49] Light me a smoke
[00:04.74] I ll tell you a story
[00:10.48]
[00:11.60] Of how the west was won
[00:16.10]

[00:34.65]
[00:37.39] And in a second
[00:41.07]
[00:41.82] A lifelong second
[00:44.38]
