[Todd Baechle:] The floor moves and it trembles Old West shakes as it opens up People are dying and I know the cause of it all With so many buried The dead twitch on crowded roads Dirt breaks; dust follows, Cracks in the plains are exposed
[Conor Oberst:] They're restless enclosed [Todd Baechle:] The quake sets in [Conor Oberst:] They twitch underground [Todd Baechle:] The quake sets in [Conor Oberst:] Dirt starts to shake [Todd Baechle:] The quake sets in [Conor Oberst:] It waves through the town [Todd Baechle:] The quake sets in [Todd Baechle and Conor Oberst:] That's why the quake sets in And dust rises again
[Todd Baechle:] Wreckage is clearing The remnants all fade away No one understands it The tremors go on unexplained
[Conor Oberst:] They're restless enclosed [Todd Baechle:] The quake sets in [Conor Oberst:] [they twitch underground] [Todd Baechle:] The quake sets in [Conor Oberst:] [dirt starts to shake] [Todd Baechle:] The quake sets in [Conor Oberst:] [it waves through the town] [Todd Baechle:] The quake sets in [Todd Baechle and Conor Oberst:] All still to the great shaking And dust rises again Dust rises again
