Gold Key

After the forest fire

Among the black trees

Among the carcasses

I found your gold key

And when your father called

Hid in the deadwood

And all the birds flew up

I thought they understood

Uh oh, your hands were tied

Uh oh, the storm had come

Uh oh, with midnight eyes

Uh oh, we played with guns

Uh oh, your hands were tied

Uh oh, the storm had come

Uh oh, midnight eyes

Uh oh, we played with guns

It was the day before

The day before this

And we had party plans

And party dresses

Out on a crowded street

And I talked a man down

He wanted peace in death

He wore a gold crown

Uh oh, your hands were tied

Uh oh, the storm had come

Uh oh, with midnight eyes

Uh oh, we played with guns

Uh oh, your hands were tied

Uh oh, the storm had come

Uh oh, with midnight eyes

Uh oh, we played with guns
