Something's happening in the country And the government's to blame We got married in a gold rush And the rush has never felt the same Shared a moment in a cafe Shared a kiss in pouring rain We got married in a gold rush And the sight of gold will always bring me pain I don't wanna hear the rumors Please don't say it loud I just wanna go out tonight And make my baby proud Boy, who's your baby? Girls, you don't know by now There's two seats on the midnight train The gold won't wear us down Hanging gardens turn to desert All that love in turn to hate We got married in a gold rush And those wedding bells were ringing out our fate I don't wanna hear the rumors Please don't say it loud I just wanna go out tonight And make my baby proud Boy, who's your baby? Girls, you don't know by now There's two seats on the midnight train The gold won't wear us down The rush is on to somewhere else We're running out of time Everything was ours, now it's just an empty mind Animals don't understand the words on the danger sign For them it's just some shade from the morning shine I thought you might learn the language I thought you might learn to sing We were born before the gold rush So why can't I remember anything? I wanna put things back together I wanna give, don't wanna take Time to disavow the gold rush And the bitterness that's flourished in its wake I don't wanna hear the rumors Please don't say it loud I just wanna go out tonight And make my baby proud Boy, who's your baby? Girls, you don't know by now There's two seats on the midnight train The gold won't wear us down I don't wanna hear the rumors Please don't say it loud I just wanna go out tonight And make my baby proud Boy, who's your baby? Girls, you don't know by now There's two seats on the midnight train The gold won't wear us down I just wanna go out tonight And make my baby proud
