Gold Rush

Gold rush Digging for gold in my neighborhood Gold rush Where all the old buildings stood Gold rush And they keep digging it down and down Gold rush So that their cars can live underground Gold rush The swinging of a wrecking ball Gold rush Through these lath and plaster walls Gold rush Is letting all the shadows free Gold rush The ones I wish still followed me Change Followed me followed me Please don't change Stay Followed me followed me Stay the same Gold rush I remember a winter's night Gold rush We kissed beneath the street lamp light Gold rush Outside our bar near the record store Gold rush That have been condos for a year and more Gold rush Now that our haunts have taken flight Gold rush And been replaced with construction sites Gold rush Oh how I feel like a stranger here Gold rush Searching for something that's disappeared Gold rush Digging for gold in my neighborhood Gold rush For what they say is the greater good Gold rush But all I see is a long goodbye Gold rush A requiem for a skyline Gold rush It seems I never stopped losing you Gold rush As every dive becomes something new Gold rush And all our ghosts get swept away Gold rush It didn't use to be this way Change Be this way be this way Please don't change Stay Be this way be this way Stay the same Cranes Be this way be this way Devour the light Strange Be this way be this way Appetite I've ascribed these monuments A false sense of permanence I've placed faith in geography To hold you in my memory Gold rush I'm sifting through these wreckage piles Gold rush Through the rubble of bricks and wires Gold rush Looking for something I'll never find Gold rush Looking for something I'll never find Gold rush Digging for gold in my neighborhood Gold rush Where all the old buildings stood Gold rush And they keep digging it down and down Gold rush So that their cars can live underground Gold rush It seems I never stopped losing you Gold rush As every dive becomes something new Gold rush And all our ghosts get swept away Gold rush It didn't use to be this way Change Gold rush It didn't use to be this way Gold rush It didn't use to be this way Please don't change Gold rush It didn't use to be this way Gold rush It didn't use to be this way Stay stay the same It didn't use to be this way Gold rush It didn't use to be this way Gold rush It didn't use to be this way change Gold rush Gold rush Please don't change Gold rush Gold rush Stay Gold rush Gold rush
