Rumors - Josh Ritter

Serenade me with rocks, love

No lullabies 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

Whoa, oh, oh

My orchestra is gigantic

This thing could sink the Titanic

And the string section’s screamin'

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

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
