Song | How the West Was Won |
Artist | Tom McRae |
Album | All Maps Welcome |
[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 |

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