Barnes' Yard Lyrics
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 sight
Your mother's in the kitchen batting her eyelashes
She would never be the one to despise
That our heartbeat stopped as we plunged 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 plunged through the ice
Triple up your socks to dodge frostbite
Cutting through Barnes' yard deep in the night
Rough and tumble lovers underneath the covers tonight
I was holding on to you and you were holding me tight
Nothings going wrong and nothings 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
Nothings going wrong and nothings ever holding us down
Nothings going wrong and no ones ever holding us down
Your parents they say there's beautiful things in this whole place
Your parents they say there's beautiful things in this whole place
Now your parents say there's nothing for us in this whole place
Don't you need to stay and dream of how you're 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
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 sight
Your mother's in the kitchen batting her eyelashes
She would never be the one to despise
That our heartbeat stopped as we plunged through the ice
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 plunged through the ice
Cutting through Barnes' yard deep in the night
Rough and tumble lovers underneath the covers tonight
I was holding on to you and you were holding me tight
Nothings going wrong and nothings ever going
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
Nothings going wrong and no ones ever holding us down
Your parents they say there's beautiful things in this whole place
Now your parents say there's nothing for us in this whole place
Don't you need to stay and dream of how you're going
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

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 frostbite 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
