60 Years Lyrics
Boy looks high, he looks higher than the sky, you can see it in his eyes, watch as he tries
The city never lets you go so he never tries, the city never lets you go so you never try
speaker's on the bread box that sits california, his path was on the parks running (?)
The city was a shotgun ending in sunshine but the sunshine never ends so he never tries
We'll dig a hole & fill it up with other holes, we found a hole & hid away our hungry men
If it takes us sixty years
The boy looks high, he looks higher than the sky, you can see it in his eyes, watch how he cries
The path was on a straight line, church street to houston, houston to the butte coming straight back to houston
We dug a hole, filled it up with other holes, we found a hole & buried all those hungry men
If it takes us sixty years
If it takes us sixty years
If it takes us sixty years I'll dig a hole & find a fire
If it takes us sixty years I'll dig another hole
We found a hole, we found there were some other holes and we climbed inside, we climbed back out, we left em by the hungry men, all the hungry men
If it takes us sixty years I'll dig a hole & find a fire
If it takes us sixty years I'll dig another hole
He got it in his head he'd make more money than the straight man, the straight man
The boy looks high, he looks higher than the sky
(If it takes us sixty years)
The city never lets you go so he never tries
The city never lets you go so he never tries
If it takes us sixty years I'll dig a hole til I find a fire
If it takes us sixty years I'll dig another hole
He got it in his head he'd make more money than the straight man, the straight man
The city never lets you go so he never tries, the city never lets you go so you never try
speaker's on the bread box that sits california, his path was on the parks running (?)
The city was a shotgun ending in sunshine but the sunshine never ends so he never tries
We'll dig a hole & fill it up with other holes, we found a hole & hid away our hungry men
The path was on a straight line, church street to houston, houston to the butte coming straight back to houston
We dug a hole, filled it up with other holes, we found a hole & buried all those hungry men
If it takes us sixty years
If it takes us sixty years I'll dig a hole & find a fire
If it takes us sixty years I'll dig another hole
If it takes us sixty years I'll dig another hole
The boy looks high, he looks higher than the sky
(If it takes us sixty years)
The city never lets you go so he never tries
If it takes us sixty years I'll dig another hole
He got it in his head he'd make more money than the straight man, the straight man

in the 3rd line, this is what i heard: (speaker's) on the bread box (that sits) California, his path was the running (to the end)
I'm pretty confident about the first two blanks, i'm a little unsure on the last one, i had to play around with the equalizer to hear better, it could be (running to the "inn") but "end" makes more sense to me.
could be talking bout a politician speaking to a crowd.
great song tho, can't get enough of Portugal
in my opinion i think its about a drugdealer. maybe the holes being the drugs and the hungry men the customers he hooks too the drugs. might just be narrow minded but that seems like the obvious story line. listen and view the lyrics in that sense ya might see what i mean. but only portugal truly know the truth. could just be about nothing. artists like too do that shit, just comes out of nowhere but their hearts. loveeee this effin band
