Diggin' Up The Heart - Brandon Flowers

Tony came back to town

With his cap and gown

That they give him at the state

Tony came back to town

With his cap and gown

That they give him at the state

Him breaking it every few day

Tony’s mamma said 'he's only human'

Look what the cat dragged in Papa snatched your kin

Little sister hugs the tin man

Tony, she’s grown

And she’s pretty, in her little black dress

He’s digging up the heart

To know the price he paid

You heard me in the train

When you’re in the cage

And you can smell the rain

And you can see the sage

While fretting the highway

But you can try

And when you finally put the asphalt to the tyre

Looks something like sistine

Or a fire

Ripping through the dark

He’s digging up the heart

Digging up the heart

Digging up the heart

Well it ain’t that strange

Any boy can change

Digging up the heart

One, two, three, four, five

Oh, me, oh, my Count the reasons that you shouldn’t be messing

With the sons of perdition

That were gonna take you down

The straight and narrow

You dreaming of another place

You just can’t get

Like the workmen in the pit

Little brother, you’re a liar to yourself

I didn’t think you’d changed

It’s just another heart

Ain’t there something strange

When tony left

They were scratching at the door

In particular, one, one, hitting more

Her name was christie

The queen of old folk county

But what we’d have loved is the right time, that there day

Because he met on something nothing, boy got engaged

Lessons in the dark

He’s digging up the heart

Digging up the heart

Digging up the heart

Well it ain’t that strange

Any boy can change

He’s digging up the heart

He’s digging up the heart

Digging up the heart

With a little luck

With the times getting rough

Digging up the heart

Well the perp’s got his hands up And his mind’s on the march

The 30 day beneath the register

He’s digging up the heart

Digging up the heart

Digging up the heart

Well it ain’t that strange

Any boy can change

He’s digging up the heart

He’s digging up the heart

Digging up the heart

With a little luck

With the times getting rough

Digging up the heart

Well it ain’t that strange

Any boy could change

Digging up the heart
