The Avett Brothers
Orion’s Belt
[Verse 1]
Dead heading east to west
Taking my memories, leaving this place
Earning my heartache, holding it tight
Owning my history outright
[Chorus]
Like mine was the best
Everybody thinks they know everyone else
Looking for healing under a ceiling
When it’s beyond Orion’s Belt
[Verse 2]
Dead in my tracks, old and tired
Real time really done a number
Toes in the sand at the edge of the sea
Mother of mothers coming for me
[Chorus]
Like mine was the best
Everybody thinks they know everyone else
Looking for healing under a ceiling
When it’s beyond Orion’s Belt
[Bridge]
I hear the same words leaving the mouth of my enemy
Troubled the same
I fear the worst; how complicated it can get to be
Trying to land in the same place
[Verse 3]
Where can I go for a little bit of peace?
Too much racket up in D.C
Whole lot of talking, money changing hands
Little bitty men with big plans
[Chorus]
Like theirs was the best
Everybody thinks they know everyone else
Looking for healing under a ceiling
When it’s beyond Orion’s Belt
When it’s beyond Orion’s Belt
When it’s beyond Orion’s Belt
