Reno

Ain't nothing quite like that sunset from a sheer Nevada bluff
The way it lingers on, but not too long, like it knows when you've had enough
I won't call this a mistake, but the work of a younger man
But just because I don't regret it doesn't mean I'd do it again

Oh, Reno, I see no point in arguing
I asked you to tell the truth, but you won't tell me anything
After we go, there'll be no reason to pretend
Oh, Reno, why didn't you let me know it was the end

We tried to pick a winner, and we joined in that joyful noise
So if you're not proud how it turned out, you can't say we had no choice
But dear, you know it isn't fair to say everything went wrong
Because we both know it didn't go anywhere that it wasn't all along

Oh, Reno, I see no point in arguing
I asked you to tell the truth, but you won't tell me anything
After we go, there'll be no reason to pretend
Oh, Reno, why didn't you let me know it was the end

Now those neon signs are shining bright, in orange, pink and red
Like a skeleton of glowing bones, a fossilized sunset
There's a quiet museum where the light goes dim
It's a place to remember the dead
As if I could ever forget

Oh, Reno, I see no point in arguing
I asked you to tell the truth, but you won't tell me anything
After we go, there'll be no reason to pretend

Oh, Reno, I see no point in arguing
I asked you to tell the truth, but you won't tell me anything
After we go, there'll be no reason to pretend
Oh, Reno, why didn't you let me know it was the end
Oh, Reno, why didn't you let me know it was the end
Oh, Reno, why didn't you let me know it was the end
