Texty: Josh Ritter. Rumors.

Serenade me with rocks, love
No lullabyes through the locks, love
I locked 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

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


He plays piano with fistfuls
of broken Belvedere crystal
and he's trying to forget 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

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
