Barnes' Yard Lyrics

Oh let's lie down for another night
I'll hold you close under these skies
Your brother's in the basement doing hot knives
Your brother's in the basement doing hot knives
We struggle to tear ourselves apart in the night
We struggle to tear ourselves apart in the light
Your father's on his way back home from sight
Your mother's in the kitchen batting her eyelashes
She would never be the one to despise
That our heartbeat stopped as we plunged through the ice

We're broken down lovers at the side of the road
We're broken down lovers in the city of oil
There's nothing going wrong in your empty home
There's nothing going wrong and we'll leave it alone
Let's slip under the covers just to save our lives
And our heartbeats stopped as we plunged through the ice

Triple up your socks to dodge frostbite
Cutting through Barnes' yard deep in the night
Rough and tumble lovers underneath the covers tonight
I was holding on to you and you were holding me tight
Nothings going wrong and nothings ever going

Oh, Let's lie down for another night
I'll hold you close under these skies
Your brother's in the basement doing hot knives
Your brother's in the basement doing hot knives
We struggle to tear ourselves apart in the night
And there's nothing going wrong in the city tonight

Nothings going wrong and nothings ever holding us down
Nothings going wrong and no ones ever holding us down

Your parents they say there's beautiful things in this whole place
Your parents they say there's beautiful things in this whole place
Now your parents say there's nothing for us in this whole place
Don't you need to stay and dream of how you're going

Oh, Let's lie down for another night
I'll hold you close under these skies
Your brother's in the basement doing hot knives
Your brother's in the basement doing hot knives
We struggle to tear ourselves apart in the night
And there's nothing going wrong in the city tonight
