Gold rush

Letra

They're digging for gold in my neighborhood
Where all the old buildings stood
And they keep digging down, down
So that their cars can live underground
The swinging of a wrecking ball
Through these lathe and plaster walls
Is letting all the shadows free
The ones I wished still followed me

Change, please don't change
Stay, stay the same

I remember a winter's night
When we kissed beneath the street lamp light
Outside our bar near the record store
That have been condos for a year or more
And now that our haunts have taken flight
And been replaced with construction sites
Oh how I feel like a stranger here
Searching for something that's disappeared

They're digging for gold in my neighborhood
For what they say is the greater good
But all I see is a long goodbye
A requiem for a skyline
It seems I never stop losing you
As every dive becomes something new
And all our ghosts get swept away
It didn't used to be this way

Change, please don't change
Stay, stay the same
Cranes devour the light
Strange appetites

I've ascribed these monuments
A false sense of permanence
I've placed faith in geography
To hold you in my memory
I'm sifting through these wreckage piles
Through the rubble of bricks and wires
Looking for something I'll never find

They're digging for gold in my neighborhood
Where all the old buildings stood
And they keep digging down, down
So that their cars can live underground
It seems I never stop losing you
As every dive becomes something new
And all our ghosts get swept away
It didn't used to be this way
