(Verse) They were flying high on their own sweet time Climbing up on a harder in dime Digging deep from their own gold mine Getting drunk on the homemade wine (Verse) She was perfect, he was too Kids came quickly, they stopped at too Life was easy and life was good They knew the limits like they should (Chorus) But they couldn't hear the music They couldn't hear the sound They couldn't hear the music They couldn't turn around (Verse) Got a job and the pay went up They started to swim in a bigger cup She lost some weight and her chest size grew The children thrived and the money flew (Verse) Second day in a warmer clime The bow is strong and the arrow climb The sky got clearer and the ground got dim He loved her, she loved him (Chorus x2) (But) They couldn't hear the music They couldn't hear the sound They couldn't hear the music They couldn't turn around (Verse) He ran off with the boss's kid He bought a place to keep her hid Soon enough a baby came It felt good just to start again (Verse) She got with the fitness guy She got the house, she learned to fly They lived so long, they lived so well Life went on, wrong never fell (Chorus) But they couldn't hear the music They couldn't hear the sound They couldn't hear the music They couldn't turn around
