Married In A Gold Rush

(albüm: Father Of The Bride - 2019)

[Ezra Koenig:]
Something's happening in the country
And the government's to blame
We got married in a gold rush
And the rush has never felt the same

[Danielle Haim:]
Shared a moment in a café
Shared a kiss in pouring rain
We got married in a gold rush
And the sight of gold will always bring me pain

[Ezra Koenig (Danielle Haim):]
I don't wanna hear the rumors, please don't say it loud
I just wanna go out tonight and make my baby proud
(Boy, who's your baby?)
Girl, if you don't know by now
There's two seats on the midnight train
The gold won't weigh us down

[Ezra Koenig (Danielle Haim) {Both}:]
Hanging gardens turned to desert
(All that loving turned to hate)

[Ezra Koenig & Danielle Haim:]
We got married in a gold rush
And those wedding bells were ringing out our fate

[Ezra Koenig (Danielle Haim) {Both}:]
I don't wanna hear the rumours, please don't say it loud
I just wanna go out tonight and make my baby proud
(Boy, who's your baby?)
Girl, if you don't know by now
{There's two seats on the midnight train}
{The gold won't weigh us down}

The rush is on to somewhere else, we're running out of time
Everything was ours, now it's just an empty mine
(Animals don't understand the words on the danger sign)
(For them, it's just some shade from the morning shine)
I thought you might learn the language
(I thought you might learn to sing)
{We were born before the gold rush}
{So why can't I remember anything?}
I want to put things back together
(I wanna give, don't wanna take)
Time to disavow the gold rush
{And the bitterness that's flourished in its wake}

I don't wanna hear the rumours, please don't say it loud
(Please don't say it loud)
I just wanna go out tonight {and make my baby proud}
(Boy, who's your baby?)
Girl, if you don't know by now
{There's two seats on the midnight train}
{The gold won't weigh us down}
I don't wanna hear the rumours, please don't say it loud
(Please don't say it loud)
I just wanna go out tonight {and make my baby proud}
(Boy, who's your baby?)
Girl, if you don't know by now
{There's two seats on the midnight train}
{The gold won't weigh us down}
