Light me a smoke, I'll tell you a story
of how the west was won
flew over diamonds, east river shining
a city sinking in the mud
and in a second, a life-long second

I knew what we'd become
we use up people use up time
use up places say goodbye
searching for the crowded hour
now there's a buzzing in the wires
look for lightning in your eyes
and i see it there, hey hey rock star
lets play happy, this could be our final hour
I'll take your picture, but who needs pictures?
They only strip you of your power
don't lose your nerve now
feel the curve of the earth now, rising up to meet your feet
we use up people use up time
use up places say goodbye
never find the crowded hour
it's time to move the saints again
curse the sun to kill the rain
i wish i knew just how
we should have driven out to the ocean
our hands tied to the wheel
now something's broken, don't know whats broken
or if i want it healed
we use up people use up time
use up places say goodbye
where the hell's the crowded hour
scattered thoughts and promises
let the wind take all thats left
there's nothing for you here
so take a card and put it back
hide the faces cuut the pack
the future's not that clear
light me a smoke, i'll tell you a story
of how the west was won
you wanted glory, well here's your glory
just look what we've become
