Holed up in Vegas for only one week And I caught you tongue and cheek by the side of the road Of an automobile expo Turned up the volume and you started to weep And I thought you a lamb Even in the sigh of a headlight sea Your tears were salty ocean You opened up the engine and listened to it sing And I called you a lamb You knew your daddy until you were thirteen And then he took his leave for the likes of the land And the far off salty ocean We shook our bodies and we started to scream And I asked you again Tell me when we grow up do we ever go home? You said home becomes the highway We ordered movies on a motel screen Until you needed me warm inside of your mouth And my skin was salty ocean And then you recommended I'm a woman to keep And I called you a man

Why does this have less than 2000 views and no comments ? I mean, it's such a great song, and Big Thief is for sure going to be big in the near future, so i feel a bit like I'm alone in a big city right now.

One of the best songs of the 2010s.

One of my favorite songs of all time - lyrics are buttery and crackling - song cascades and envelopes - the song ends on such a strong lyrical note that I can't fault it for not being longer

Tell me when we grow up, do we ever go home? You said home becomes the highway

Beautiful song, my favorite of the magnificent album.. From Argentina *.*

Saw them opening for Nada Surf last week, 6/2 at the World Cafe in Philly, it was so good, I had no idea who the openers even were, and Bird of Youth I truly enjoyed both of them and instantly went to the merchandise stand before Nada Surf came on to grab both albums, part of the reason I love openers, I really love discovering new bands to enjoy especially in person!

Please don't stop. Wonderful style

Just heard on BBC6 music. Great song. Had to google em immediete. Love this track.

On heavy rotation in the old jalopy.

Aside from how epic the song is to begin with, i just love that photo (and need the backstory, to the song, then the photo)

who are all these people or more importantly where are they going to be free I think I saw this in a movie once Or maybe deja vu You see Nobody could find their way home again and all their masks fell away In only one afternoon Left with only the Truth they all looked at the sky and started to scream we wanna go home as an impossible line of humanity strung along all the highways Like a dream cause when you grow up you can never again go back home again you must make one of your own Everything s happily forgotten in the cry of a newborn you shake off all the pain and give in with all the love you d ever felt and seen it's just like that dream because all of those lonely notions Are Gone Cause now we're home again full circle all that's left now is too grow old Together Forever

Great picture of "Big Thief" - when they were kids perhaps? And that budgie!
