Out on the Shield |
| We never meant to stay here |
| We were here for the gold |
| Here for the gold |
| Here for the gold |
| We never meant to stay here |
| We were here for the gold |
| Here for the gold |
| Here for the gold |
| We got stuck here for the winter |
| Blinded by golden dollar signs |
| We built some simple structures |
| Temporary, not permanent |
| Each year we dug much deeper |
| Each year things got more serious |
| Each year our hearts grew weaker |
| Blinded by golden dollar signs |
| We never meant to stay here |
| We were here for the gold |
| Here for the gold |
| Here for the gold |
| We never meant to stay here |
| We were here for the gold |
| Here for the gold |
| Here for the gold |
| Put a lump of coal in my hand |
| Squeeze just as tight as I can |
| Hope for a brand new diamond |
| I know its slight, but it’s all I can |
| I promise, honey, that when we get paid |
| We’ll pack our things and we’ll move away |
| A thousand miles from this frozen lake |
| We’ll find a place where we both can stay |
| We’ll find a city with a million people |
| Find an apartment where the rent is real low |
| We’ll disappear and no one will notice |
| How about it, darling? |
| We could both live downtown |
| We never meant to stay here |
| We were here for the gold |
| Here for the gold |
| Here for the gold |
| We never meant to stay here |
| We were here for the gold |
| Here for the gold |
| Here for the gold |
| We never meant to stay here |
| We were here for the gold |
| Here for the gold |
| Here for the gold |
| We never meant to stay here |
| We’re just dumb animals |
| With our paws in the hole |
| Grasping gold |
| And now we’re stuck in a small town |
| Out on the shield |
| But it lost its appeal long ago |
| We wake up at dawn and kiss our wives on the forehead and we |
| Slowly make our way into the caves where we will forget |
| The faces of our children and our small regrets |
| Like, should have kept that lucky penny while I had the chance |
| We never meant to stay here, no |
| We never meant to stay here |
| We never meant to stay here, no |
| We never meant to stay here |
