Summer was a gust of wind rolling up the creek
past the iron streetcar line and the west side boys renaming streets
I’m just a map and a legend you want to hold me still
a memory you’re cursing a haunting on the hill
and in the beginning with the stars in your eyes
it’s all covered in rhinestones all covered in lies
thought I was what you wanted but that’s the story you told
guess that’s what happens babe when things get old
when things get old
you say this ain’t no way to live this ain’t no place to dream
used to talk about where we’d end up
used to say you’d never leave
but then you found a weakness a broken window sill
where the air blows cold inside this home high up on a hill
and in the beginning with the stars in your eyes
it’s all covered in rhinestones all covered in lies
thought I was what you wanted but that’s the story you told
guess that’s what happens babe when things get old
when things get old
plow me over keep burying me
the trick of mud and water is how deep you sleep

and in the beginning with the stars in your eyes
it’s all covered in rhinestones all covered in lies
thought I was what you wanted but that’s the story you told
guess that’s what happens babe when things get old
when things get old
when things get old
yeah things get old Lyrics licensed and provided by LyricFind
