Nobody Dies Anymore Lyrics

Sitting in a combed out room
Watching the world to end
I won't say golden
Until you let me back in

Nobody says goodbye
But everybody goes home
We end the day sober
To a depth we don't own

I stand where I grew
Oh, I hated that too
When hell's about to blow in
I saddle up new

And it won't be long
To find a broken back bone
Or another ocean
Are there any unknown

So I dance my shoe
Beneath the black balloon
Flip it at you for your trouble
So long, so soon
I'm going to

Nobody Dies Anymore
But don't you think it's never over
Nobody dies anymore
No badge knock on a dark front door
Some things still change
But
Nobody dies
Nobody dies
Nobody dies

Don't I look over my sister
Sister don't you know me no more
She calls me once every summer
Before the leafs turn gold

When she was the daughter
Of a world without end
They told her I was stolen
She couldn't comprehend

Poured out in the street
By the blood in the grass
Poured out at the feet
By the broken glass

Nobody dies anymore
No badge knock on a dark front door
Some things still change
But
Nobody dies
Nobody dies
Nobody dies

Love every song that I know
You ask me well how so
Strange I can't defend
I love how every song ends

Nobody Dies Anymore Song Chart

This is a track from Sukierae, the debut album by Tweedy, a side project formed by Jeff Tweedy and his son Spencer. This song finds him reflecting on the ongoing troubles in his home city. "Chicago has a horrible problem with gun violence, and it was an attempt to write about that," he told Uncut magazine. "It still has images of candlelight vigils on crappy, low-income street-corners, with beer being poured out on the street."

Sukierae is titled after Jeff Tweedy's wife and Spencer's mother Sue "Sukie" Miller, whose fight with cancer during its recording influenced the lyrical content. Jeff Tweedy told Uncut: "That was written way before anything happened with my wife's cancer diagnosis. And one of the ways that we discovered the malignancy in my wife's bones is that she had a broken backbone, a collapsed vertebrae. And now when I sing that song, I think, 'Oh my God, that's so strange.'"
