Barnes' Yard

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 site

Your mother's in the kitchen batting her eyelash

She would never want to be the one to despise

And our heartbeats stopped as we plunge 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 plunge through the ice



Triple up your socks to dodge the frost's bite

Cutting through Barnes' Yard hip deep in the night

Rough and tumble lovers underneath the covers tonight

I was holding onto you and you were holding me tight

Nothing's going wrong and nothing's 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



Nothing's going wrong and nothing's ever holding us down

Nothing's going wrong and no one's ever holding us down

Your parents, they say "There's beautiful things in this old place"

Your parents, they say "There's beautiful things in this cold place"

Now your parents say "There's nothing for us in this old place"

Don't leave me to stay and dream of how you're growing old.



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
