Josh Ritter - Rumors

Serenade me with rocks, love
No lullabies through the locks, love
I lock myself in with the band
But the music's never loud enough

Decibels in the belfry
Hey, what the hell if it helps me
I put a whip to the kick drum
But the music's never loud enough

So you're gonna have to show me
How that dance is done
The one where somebody leaves someone, oh

My orchestra is gigantic
This thing could sink the Titanic
And the string section's screaming
Like horses in a barn burnin' up

He plays pianos with fistfuls
Of broken Belvedere crystal
But he can't seem to forget you
And the music's never loud enough

So you're gonna have to show me
How that dance is done
The one where somebody leaves someone, oh

He's impaling the front row
Fighting fire with arrows
And he'll act like he forgot you
But the music's never loud enough

So you're gonna have to show me
How that dance is done
The one where somebody leaves someone, oh
Oh, oh, oh, oh
