Dusty veils lie on the floor’s new footsteps

Your daddy came and left, he bought you a safety gun

And when you won the rodeo, he bought you a safety pin

So you could hold it all in

The sun is wearing out your eyes, they look across the land

But they can’t tell sea from sand

Now who will hold your hand?

And who will rub your back?

Your chains run deep

But I been waiting for your word, been hoping that the earth

Won’t suddenly catch fire, we’ll call them on

The dirty liars

They can deal with us

The smoke will always clear, but the air will always taste like your cigarettes and place

Time’s got me by the neck, I’m standing by your stone, the words are meaningless, but

They go forever

Now I’m walking through the rooms where you used to stamp your feet, you used to call my shame

But you won’t go down in flames

It's a tuckered way to think, but you had your father’s eyes

But I been waiting for your word, been hoping that the earth won’t suddenly catch fire, we’ll call them on

The dirty liars

They can deal with us
