Gold Rush

[00:18.64] (Gold rush) Digging for gold in my neighborhood
[00:21.21] (Gold rush) Where all the old buildings stood
[00:24.25] (Gold rush) And they keep digging it down and down
[00:27.68] (Gold rush) So that the cars can live underground
[00:30.43] (Gold rush) The swinging of a wrecking ball
[00:33.46] (Gold rush) Through these lath and plaster walls
[00:36.65] (Gold rush) Is letting all the shadows free
[00:39.50] (Gold rush) The ones I wish still followed me
[00:42.12] (Change) Followed me, followed me
[00:45.76] (Please don't change)
[00:50.27] (Stay) Followed me, followed me
[00:55.15] (Stay the same)
[01:00.06] (Gold rush) I remember a winter's night
[01:03.00] (Gold rush) We kissed beneath the street lamp light
[01:06.27] (Gold rush) Outside a bar near the record store
[01:09.23] (Gold rush) That have been condos for a year and more
[01:12.41] (Gold rush) Now that our haunts have taken flight
[01:15.28] (Gold rush) And been replaced with construction sites
[01:18.45] (Gold rush) Oh, how I feel like stranger here
[01:21.12] (Gold rush) Searching for something that's disappeared
[01:24.10] (Gold rush) Digging for gold in my neighborhood
[01:27.05] (Gold rush) For what they say is the greater good
[01:29.91] (Gold rush) But all I see is a long goodbye
[01:33.17] (Gold rush) A requiem for a skyline
[01:35.51] (Gold rush) It seems I never stopped losing you
[01:39.16] (Gold rush) Because every dive becomes something new
[01:42.18] (Gold rush) And all our ghosts get swept away
[01:44.89] (Gold rush) It didn't used to be this way
[01:47.87] (Change) Be this way, be this way
[01:51.30] (Please don't change)
[01:54.33] (Stay) Be this way, be this way
[02:00.71] (Stay the same)
[02:05.61] (Cranes) Be this way, be this way
[02:09.69] (Devour the light)
[02:14.20] (Strange) Be this way, be this way
[02:18.66] (Appetite)
[02:22.41]
[02:27.85] I've ascribed these monuments
[02:30.45] A false sense of permanence
[02:33.25] I've placed faith in geography
[02:36.18] To hold you in my memory
[02:38.92] (Gold rush) I'm sifting through these wreckage piles
[02:41.72] (Gold rush) Through the rubble of bricks and wires
[02:44.73] (Gold rush) Looking for something I'll never find
[02:47.78] (Gold rush) Looking for something I'll never find
[02:50.73] (Gold rush) Digging for gold in my neighborhood
[02:53.70] (Gold rush) Where all the old buildings stood
[02:56.22] (Gold rush) And they keep digging it down and down
[02:59.63] (Gold rush) So that the cars can live underground
[03:02.48] (Gold rush) It seems I never stopped losing you
[03:05.47] (Gold rush) Because every dive becomes something new
[03:08.35] (Gold rush) And all our ghosts get swept away
[03:11.39] (Gold rush) It didn't used to be this way
[03:14.43] Change
[03:15.27] (Gold rush) It didn't used to be this way
[03:17.46] (Gold rush) It didn't used to be this way (please don't change)
[03:21.05] (Gold rush) It didn't used to be this way
[03:23.93] (Gold rush) It didn't used to be this way (stay, stay the same)
[03:27.26] (Gold rush) It didn't used to be this way
[03:28.95] (Gold rush) It didn't used to be this way (stay the same)
[03:33.20] (Gold rush) It didn't used to be this way
[03:34.96] (Gold rush) It didn't used to be this way (change)
[03:38.87] (Gold rush)
[03:39.61] (Gold rush)
[03:42.88] Please don't change
[03:44.75] (Gold rush)
[03:47.11] (Gold rush)
[03:49.73] Stay
[03:53.71] (Gold rush)
[03:54.67] (Gold rush)
[03:55.69] Stay the same
[03:55.87]
