Married in a Gold Rush Lyrics

[Verse 1: Ezra Koenig]
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

[Verse 2: Danielle Haim]
Shared a moment in a café
Shared a kiss in pouring rain
We got married in a gold rush
And the sight of gold will always bring me pain

[Chorus: Ezra Koenig & Danielle Haim]
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?
Girl, if you don't know by now
There's two seats on the midnight train
The gold won't weigh us down

[Verse 3: Ezra Koenig, Danielle Haim & Both]
Hanging gardens turned to desert
All that loving turned to hate
We got married in a gold rush
And those wedding bells were ringing out our fate

[Chorus: Ezra Koenig, Danielle Haim & Both]
I don't wanna hear the rumours, please don't say it loud
I just wanna go out tonight and make my baby proud
Boy, who's your baby?
Girl, if you don't know by now
There’s two seats on the midnight train
The gold won’t weigh us down

[Verse 4: Ezra Koenig, Danielle Haim & Both]
The rush is on to somewhere else, we're running out of time
Everything was ours, now it’s just an empty mine
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 want to 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

[Chorus: Ezra Koenig, Danielle Haim & Both]
I don't wanna hear the rumours, please don't say it loud
Please don't say it loud
I just wanna go out tonight and make my baby proud
Boy, who's your baby?
Girl, if you don't know by now
There's two seats on the midnight train
The gold won't weigh us down
I don't wanna hear the rumours, please don't say it loud
Please don't say it loud
I just wanna go out tonight and make my baby proud
Boy, who's your baby?
Girl, if you don't know by now
There's two seats on the midnight train
The gold won't weigh us down

What did Vampire Weekend say about "Married in a Gold Rush"?

I played this song for a couple of people, and some were like, ‘Oh, that’s your country song?’ And I swear, we pulled our hair out trying to make sure the song didn’t sound too country. Once you get past some of the imagery–midnight train, whatever–that’s not really what it’s about. The story is und...
