Biography:
Big Thief is an American indie rock band with folk roots. The band is based in Brooklyn, New York, and comprises Adrianne Lenker, Buck Meek, Max Oleartchik, and James Krivchenia.
Big Thief's music, rooted in the songs of Adrianne Lenker, paints in vivid tones "the process of harnessing pain, loss, and love, while simultaneously letting go, looking into your own eyes through someone else's, and being okay with the inevitability of death," says Adrianne.

Holed up in Vegas for only one week And I caught you tongue and cheek by the side of the road
Am/G F#half dim
Of an automobile expo
Em G C
Turned up the volume and you started to weep
G
And I thought you a lamb
D G C
Even in the sigh of the headlight sea
Am D7
Your tears were salty ocean
Em G C
You opened up the engine and listened to it sing
G
And I called you a lamb

You knew your daddy til you were thirteen And then he took his leave for the likes of the land
Am/G F#half dim
And the far off salty ocean
Em G C
We shook our bodies and we started to scream
G
And I asked you again
D G C
Tell me when we grow up do we ever go home?

And my skin was salty ocean
Em G C
And then you recommended I'm a woman to keep
G
And I called you a man
