这可能是近期新发现的乐队里，在歌词上最让人难忘的那一个了，Folk rock作为一种风格，天然地对要求对词作倾注一定心血，“讲述”也始终是它的魅力之一，打开Big Thief的专辑《Masterpiece》目录，有“Paul”“Lorraine”“Randy”这样一些单纯的人名，也有这首“Vegas”一样单纯的地点，在这几首歌里，有些片段甜得一塌糊涂，好像一个已经咀嚼过所有美妙事物的人所写出来的，Big Thief正是这样一个纯情的小偷，一个甜蜜的骗子，让你不惜一切代价也想要去品尝一口。
歌词：
Holed up in vegas for only one week
在拉斯维加斯躲藏了一个星期
And i caught you tongue and cheek by the side of the road
我抓住你的舌头和脸颊旁边的道路
Of an automobile export

Turned up the volume and you started to weep

You knew your daddy until you were thirteen

And then he took his leave for the likes of the land

And the far off salty ocean

We shook our bodies and we started to scream

And i asked you again

Tell me when we grow up do we ever go home?

You said home becomes the highway

We ordered movies on a motel screen until you needed me warm inside your mouth
