Oh, Sweetest Heart lyrics - Conor Oberst

The days seem long and dark when we're apart
I never know exactly where to start or stop
But I know exactly where to start and stop
And nothing is embarrassing, nothing that you do
A heart that's made of Kara-sine, it burns only for you
I guess I finally know cause when I saw you at the show
I realized I had loved you all this time

The nights so dark at night and I can't know why
[?]
And I finally know cause when I saw you at the show
I realized that I loved you all this time
And all I really need is to have you close to me
For you to tell me that you love me this much too
This much too, this much too,
All you need to say is that you'll never go away
You'll stay in my eyes and never go

German Chocolate lyrics - Conor Oberst

Your lips are ruby red
The color of my blood
The color of my life
Your hair is german chocolate
German chocolate
The color of the night
And when I look into your starry eyes
Girl, you know that I'm hypnotized
And mesmerized
And don't you know,
Don't you know that I love you so
I never want to let you go
German chocolate, chocolate
I will never let you go
Don't you know that I love you so
I never want to let you go
I'm never gonna let you go

Animal Prints lyrics - Conor Oberst

I was talking in my sleep
But your name was never mentioned
I'll sell all my race car shit to keep you and the baby
I've got so many sad words,
She said "I'll never wear that. I look so terrible in animal prints"
Another paycheck gone,
But you was forever giving me a sore throat
You came on strong only cause I hadn't seen it yet
You came on strong and looked for hidden meanings
Cause I like all that lazy shit

Another Night On Your Tightropes lyrics - Conor Oberst

The punch is finally spiked
The turntables revolution has begun
Everyones laughing but you don't look like you're having any fun
She sits on the bean bag, her lips parted like she's going to speak
You head for the bathroom, your stomach spins and you suddenly feel weak
Is it true that you haven't slept in weeks?
I'm asking you why is it so easy for you to, to be uptight towards me?
So unnerving, so lambasting, I cannot think how this lasted but it's been awhile

Let's go away for the weekend, find some place where we can feel at home
We'll sleep in the car, between the gas attendants and you how could I feel alone?
But I did the drive on the highway, Canada looks nice from this distance
We enter bear country and maybe with a little persistence

I could get one of them to eat you up
And is it true that you haven't breathed in months?
I'm asking you, why is it so easy for you to, to be so cold towards me?
Something I did? Something I said? Maybe it's because you're dead
Maybe it's because you're dead, possibly it is cause you're dead

The punch finally spiked, the turntables revolution has begun
Let's hope it ends peacefully cause we're all better off as soon as it is done

The Reason I Exist lyrics - Conor Oberst

He walks slow, he walks slower then me
He gets angry when you tell him that he talks, he talks faster then me
He doesn't notice when he says nothing at all
You're a real machine when it comes to saying things that you don't mean
Do you mean? Cause I can't tell at all,

This conversations ended cause I'd rather be alone
Then to hear your fucking torture as it spills out of your throat
How many times we tried it, I guess I just lost track
Tell all your friends I'm bitter, I don't care just don't come back
Just don't come back, just don't come back
I gave up a long time ago the thought that you could ever talk to me
In a tone of voice that doesn't make me feel like I am three
Like I am three years old as you explain exactly what I've done
Or what you thought I did,
[?]

"Here's To Special Treatment" (1994)

Sledge Winston And The Element Of Surprise lyrics - Conor Oberst

Lost all of the feeling in my lower body
Searching for my pulse, but it's not there
Metaphysic content has trapped all of my emotions
I hope I can break this and decompose
And decompose in peace, in peace, in peace
Little peace
Little peace
Little peace

You're waiting for my reaction
But you're not going to get one
You're waiting for some sign of consciousness
I'm waiting for my reaction
But I can never find one
Because all I ever feel is this unstoppable numbness
This numbness
This numbness
This numbness

Do not be discouraged from this lack of feeling
Trailing you in assumptions the sad shape
Because although there's no anger to fill your disposition
Numbness is just something you can't take
You can't take
You can't take
And I can't take

I'm waiting for my reaction
But I can never find one
I'm waiting for some sign of consciousness
You're waiting for my reaction
But you will never get one
Because all I ever feel is this unstoppable numbness
This numbness
This numbness
This numbness

Things You Know lyrics - Conor Oberst

Stealing quiet on my bed
And fighting wars inside my head
While counting footprints on the ceiling
Blank and colorless tapestries
The voices yell inside of me
And I knew then the paint was peeling

You say you know this misery
Well that's no more than sympathy for me
Because this time you were faking
Your motive very questioning
This silence is so defining now see
You see you've got me shaking
Screaming cursing then you spit
And saying all your worthless shit
And I, of course, I'm worth hearing
And I don't know of what I sing
But you, my friend, don't know anything
And that's what makes you not worth fearing

And I've been lying here for a while now
Sitting and acting like a child
And if you find my garden, could you bring it back?
Because I've been lying here for a while now
And I, I've been dying here for a while now
And I, I've been dying for a while, for a while now

If your finger is an untamed beast
Then I am just a centerpiece
On the table of your feelings
I find it sort of an interlude
It's just that helpless attitude of mine
Because there's no footprints on your ceiling

And everything slips through my hand
I'm sorry, I don't understand
Those points I should be making
Your selflessness I should have missed
I never knew this emptiness
Like a child been mistaken

That all the things you never take
The toys you purposely would break
Like a gift that I was giving
I know I just did hear and stare
Never thinking about how unfair it was
Like a light that was leaving

And I've been lying here for a while now
Sitting and acting like I was in exile
But if you see my sister could you send her home?
Because I've been dying here for a while now
And I, I'll be dying here in a while now
Dying for a while, for a while now
I'm dying for a while, a while, a while now
For a while, for a while now

Tar lyrics - Conor Oberst

Gentleness is worn and battered
She smells of cigarettes
She knows how many times before, he's been shattered
But she hasn't gave up yet
But she hasn't gave up yet
But she hasn't gave up yet
But she hasn't gave up yet

Would you tear me up
Would you tear me all apart
Would you tear me up
Would you rip me all apart

To get to the bottom of the truth
To get to the bottom of the truth
To get to the bottom of the truth
To get to the bottom of the truth
I told you

Sacred altar's on it's last leg
She knows that it's not all
She's held there by that ruthless pig
But she's not afraid to fall
But she's not afraid to fall
But she's not afraid to fall
But she's not afraid to fall

Would you tear me up
Would you rip me all to shreds
Would you tear me up
Would you cut me right in half

To get to the bottom of the truth
To get to the bottom of the truth
To get to the bottom of the true truth
To get to the bottom of the truth
I fed you

Space Invaders lyrics - Conor Oberst

I know what you're thinking
Or atleast I think I do
What's on my mind isn't half of what on your's
And I turn, see you quaking
And I'm wrapped in your old man coat
Like a present or a broken in leather shoe
And buried in that warmness I can't even remember my fears
Is it obvious to you yet that you hold me up?
Is it obvious to you yet that you keep me up?
Do you know, do you know that you hold me up?
And the planet is safe for now
And my planet is safe for now
Space invaders is getting closer
And my space ships not sure how to fight them, to fight them without you
To fight them, to fight them without you
Can't fight them without you, without you, without you
I'm sorry if its scary for me to depend on you
I don't mean to be a burden at all
I decided in this silence that I can't do this alone
I need safety and hope that you're not pissed off
And I'm selfish and I know it
To ask this of you at a time when your life's so upside down
Now at a time when your life's already mess up as it is
At a time when your life's so up side down
The planet is safe for now
Well my planet is fine for now
Space invaders is getting closer and I'm really not sure how to fight them, to fight them without you
And they're coming so close now
And they're getting so close now
Invaders right on top of me and my space ships don't know how to fight them, to fight them without you
I need you now, I need you now, I need you now
Don't leave me now, don't leave me now, don't leave me now, don't leave me now
Can't fight them, can't fight them, can't fight them, won't fight them, can't fight them without you
And I guess you are like a clown fish in a sea of animals
Yeah that's a sweeping metaphor

Lava Monster lyrics - Conor Oberst

Depression sets in again
I know how that goes
Nothing seems to work out anymore
And you hurt so much
Feel so helpless
Want to crawl into a hole somewhere
And just give up
And just give up
And just give up,
But I can't let you
Because you never let me
Let me
You never let me
You never let me

And you say your life is useless
And you say this is all meaningless
But I, I know that that is just bullshit
Because you will not give up
Because you will not give up
Give up
Because the moment that you do,
I would give up too
That's what I'd do
That's what I'd do

And it's not easy when this happens
Fighting something, that you can't see by

Don't you worry cuz I'll get in there
And take some hits for you
I'll take some hits for you
I'll take them all for you
I'll take them all for you
No more limits
No more limits

Take them
Take them
Take them all for
And I know your life's not useless
And if there's some way, I'd prove it
When the lava comes
I swear, I'll block it
It will not touch you
It will not touch you
Touch you

And if the lava monster came,
I would block it's flame from hurting you
From hurting you

He will not hurt you
Will not hurt you
Will not touch you

Puddle Stomper lyrics - Conor Oberst

Ok go

I can remember sitting around at my house
And watching the smoke fill the living room
As you rested your feet on my coffee table
And we watched something on TV
Talked about the world
But the lines were already drawn from the magazines
And you called me a sponge
And you were just like diamond coated plastic
Just plastic, so invincible, so invincible
But it's not like that at all, it's not like that anymore and I'm not
Like that anymore

And I gotta hold my breath
'cause the puddle that got you is bound to get me too
And I shouldn't hold my breath
'cause a sponge like you needs a puddle to go to
And I, I have breathing room
'cause the puddle in which you fell
My diamond coated plastic could repel
Could repel, could repel
Diamond coated plastic could repel
Could repel
My diamond coated plastic could repel

And I will repel you just like you're one of the others
And I will expel you just like you're one of the others
Because you are, one of the others now
It's kinda weird I think the way that people change
Think you know someone, but you don't, but you can't
So come up, so come up
'cause I don't even care anymore
'cause you'll never be alone
And I'll always be alone

'cause you're a sponge
'cause you're a sponge
'cause you're a sponge
Who would ever guess it?
Not me, not me, but I don't even know anymore
And how am I to know anymore

And I, I'm out of breath, cause I've been holding it for years
And holding back the tears
Please let me catch my breath
And soak up a puddle there
And scrambling for air
I finally got my breath
And now at least I know for sure
I'm a puddle stomper, stomper, stomper, stomper, stomper, stomper
I am a puddle stomper, stomper
I'm a puddle stomper
I'm a puddle stomper
I'm a puddle stomper
I'm a puddle stomper
And you're a sponge
And you're a sponge
And you're a sponge
And you're a sponge
And you're a sponge
I'm a puddle stomper now
I'm a puddle stomper
I'm a puddle stomper
And you're a sponge
And you're a
I'm a puddle stomper

The Day Statues Broke lyrics - Conor Oberst

For sale sign on your favorite dumpster
Hills so huge it's hard to tell
I hope you don't get your nice hands dirty when you jump her
The burning bushes that couldn't sell
That couldn't sell
That couldn't sell
That you couldn't sell

Shelly got lucky, her warnings wouldn't sell
Beginning by shining the light
But your memorial
Your memorial
Your memorial
Your memorial
Just fell
It just fell
Your memorial just fell
Your memorial just fell

Never got your genius stature
Pretty stupid little feeble mind
And you figured they would build you a statue
And my titles smashed and gone it says
On the crooked, crooked line
Crooked line
Crooked line
Crooked line

Shelly got lucky, her warnings wouldn't sell
Forgive me for stepping on you
But your memorial
Your memorial
Your memorial
Your memorial
Just fell
It just fell
Your memorial just fell
Your memorial just fell
All the pieces that you couldn't sell
Your memorial just fell
All the bits you wouldn't tell
Your memorial just fell
But you can just go to hell
Your memorial just fell
Your memorial just fell
Your memorial just fell
Your memorial just fell

The Bumpercar Blues lyrics - Conor Oberst

You sit there with your sad eyes and you ask me if there's something you can do
Well I hate to burst your bubble but there's nothing and you know that it's true
My mind is a desert and this conversations dry
It's hard to find an answer when you know you have to lie
At the thought of my helplessness my stomach starts to churn
If I caught on fire would you watch me burn
Would you watch me burn

I try to phase it out so I could extend my disbelief
I never knew someone so broken could bring another such relief
Well it's easier to understand when you don't know how I feel
This whole damn situation just seems so unreal
Time heals all wounds
There's not much of a choice
If I screamed till my vocal chords exploded you wouldn't hear my voice
You wouldn't hear my voice

I feel like I'm in that bumpercar and I just got knocked off the track
'cause I just put on the straw that broke the camel's back
Blinded by the light so I can't see three feet in front of me
It's easy to make a mistake when you've lost all sense of direction
I try to squirm away, but the grip just gets tighter
I know you're going to stomp my head into the ground
But could you be a little quieter
Could you be a little quieter
Oh
I'm trying to get some sleep here
Oh
I'm trying to get sleep, quiet, sleep
Please, thanks, quiet, sleeps, please, thanks, quiet, sleep, thanks
Please, thanks

Blowtorch lyrics - Conor Oberst

I hope
You don't know what went wrong
'cause if you did
You'd surely stab me dead
I hope
You don't think it was all my fault
But if you do
I guess that doesn't matter much anyway

But it's not like I expected
All the people I respected
To come tumbling
Down on top of me

And acting like I'm joking
So you can't tell me
I've been choking
On every word I've ever tried to say to you
It's not that I intended
This welcome that I have extended
To be revoked in spite of me
In spite of me
In spite of me

I hope
You don't think less of me
But if you do
It wouldn't shock me too much
I hide myself inside of a plastic bag
'cause at least that way
You won't have to see my ugly face

But I'm not afraid of losing
All these atoms I've been fusing
With the blowtorch that you gave me
And can't you see I'm bending
From the wooden postcards that you've been sending
Just break my back
It's easier

And you think I'm broken
From the family fun token
And she gave to me
But it's rusting in my hands
The token is rusting in my hands
The token is rusting in my hands
The token is rusting in my hands
The token is rusting in my hands
The token is rusting in my hands
The token is rusting in my hands
The token is rusting in my
Rusting in my hands
And I'm putty in your hands
It's rusting in my hands
It's rusting in my hands
So take it away from me
Just get it away from me
Take this away from me
Before, before, before I am

J-Bone lyrics - Conor Oberst

One, two, three, four
I declare a thumb war
On you!

"shut it!" he screams at the top of his lungs
To the stupid car across the street
And he stops, that's a sure way of voicing your defeat
And i guess in his eyes I'm oblivious to what goes on
But that's fine because j-bone can just fill me in later

This late in the season, this late in the season
It's automatic
Oh yeah, he's very systematic
Oh but j-bone is never democratic

He wouldn't stop loving me
For all the tea in china
And he wouldn't stop loving me
For all the tea in china
And that there my friend that you see
Is a crawling jemima
And he wouldn't stop loving me
For all the tea in china

What it is that I know

Sundress lyrics - Conor Oberst

I might of, gone overboard
I casually broke it off
But I feel so outnumbered
When I'm around you
So I rested up
My soldiers
To make an onslaught
On your castle walls
But you had a force field
And so I fade
And so I fade
And so I fade
And so I fade

Sit in the dark
So I can be by myself for awhile
Sit in the dark
So I can be up in this world for awhile
When I drop off
What is there going to be left to see
Except suffocated thoughts
Suffocated thoughts
Of what you've done to me
Of what you've done to me
Of what you've done to me
Of what you've done to me

Sitting there looking at a portrait
Of the things you've never known
I wear my rage so well
Like a fifteen hundred dollar suit
Like the sketches you showed me
You reminded me of a spiderman
Weaving a web of insecurity
On your mother's good sundress
But the rage will fade
Oh yes the rage will fade
And my will fade
And my life will fade

Sit in the dark
So I can hate this world for awhile
I sit in the dark
So I can hate myself for a while
When I drop off
What is there going to be left to see
Except suffocated thoughts
Suffocated thoughts
Of what you've done
Of what you've done
Of what you've done to me
Of what you've done to me
Of what you've done to me
Of what you've done to me

"Water" (1993)

You Should Be In Sweden lyrics - Conor Oberst

I saw you at the subway the other day
You were drinking hot chocolate
I thought about asking you for a sip
But on second thought I didn't want to burn my tongue
I chased you up the stairs and outside
I got into a taxi cab
I didn't want to see you, you were looking good
I wanted to cool off, take some time out of the busy day
I heard a knock on my door, my door
Who was there?
What are you doing here?
I'm really not sure you should be here right now
Because I'm going. It's getting a little pricey
That you should be in Sweden my friend
Because it's the only place for you
I hear they have really nice gear of sorts there
You should be in Sweden my friend
Yeah, you should be in Sweden
Get yourself to Sweden
Take a photo on the plane I don't care
You should be in Sweden
I'll tell you what we can do
I'll tell you what we can do
I'll tell you what we can do
You're not bent on calling me
And we'll do lunch, I'm sure
Your fax machine can fax my bags
And it'll get in touch with your answering machine's secretary
Your hair doesn't shine like it used to
You're not using that conditioner I gave you last year for your birthday
It was salon selected, I thought you would like it
And now I'm so scared, I'm pale as white
I would invite you to sit but I didn't want you to ruin my new sofa
I've felt this too many times
I just get myself back up the nerve to say, the nerve
That you should be in Sweden my friend
What are you doing here?
You should be in Sweden
You can ski when you're there there
That you should be in Sweden my friend
Yeah, get yourself Sweden
I don't care how you do it
Just go to Sweden, go to Sweden
I'll tell you what we can do
I'll tell you what we can do
I'll tell you what we can do
You're not bent on calling me
But we'll do lunch, I'm sure
Your fax machine can fax me back
And get in touch with my cappuccino maker
You're not bent on calling me
And we'll take for awhile I'm sure
You can get back my postcard machine
And it'll get in touch with your answering machine's secretary

Hubcap lyrics - Conor Oberst

I'm gonna fall down but at least I know I've tried
I wish I could help you there but my hands are tied
Stay out there for a while waiting for the light
I cannot say what is wrong but I know I'm right

Hey sorry about your car, I'm sure it would have gotten real far
But I know you are, and I put it in a jar, it'll grow into a star
Then I'll let it go, then I'll let it go let it shine

I just want to get my point across
Can't you just listen to my side?
Can't you just listen to my side?
I just want to get my point across

Most of it's on fire,
It doesn't take much to get a person wired
Set it down, just push it away
And the waste basket kills everyone

Sorry about your car, I'm sure it would have got real far
I still hope you are, I'll put it in a jar, and it'll grow into a star
And then I'll make it mine, yeah and then I'll make it mine

I just want to get my point across
Can't you just listen to my side?
And why can't you just listen to my side?
I just want to get....

And I know that you're just so trendy
You get sick inside, just look at you
Hang it on a wall by a post and don't let them see it there
Oh put me in the waste basket!

Hey sorry about your car, I know I could have made it start
Man, I tried so hard to make it, make it try to grow into a star
And then I'll blow you up, push it in my face, put me out of place
I'm losing the race, then I'll let it go, yeah no one has to know
Cause I'll put it in the car, yeah sorry about it sir
And then I'll put it in a jar and it'll go real far

Over It lyrics - Conor Oberst

Sick of your politics
[?]
I guess I never acted
To be free of this
Running backwards to blind myself
And please don't say the names
No one wants wants to hear them, not from you
Do your best
To work things out
Without making a scene
I want [x4]
I just want
Cover it up
Real real good
I tried [x8]
But I just can't.

I used to think things were pure and good
But then I grew up, yeah I grew up
I just grew up

But if you want and left me too
I jammin might with you
But that was then
And this is now
And all I want to do
Is eat you
Is eat you and beat you
And beat you
Is eat you
Is eat you
Is eat you

I'm over it, I'm over it, I'm over it,
I'm over it, I'm over it, I'm over it

Your money buys you everything
But I'll just fade away
And it's damn good, and it's no good.

I can't stand it for much longer
I'm getting [x3]
So hungry
I can't deal with you anymore
All the things
The things that you can do
And it will stop
It will stop
The anger just builds up inside
I feel like I'll blow up
I'll blow up
Yeah
I guess I'll blow up

Now and then, a long, long time
I'm so damn tired
And now it's through
I'm almost done
And all I wanna do
Is hate you
I hate you [x2]
I want to spit into your face
Hate you
I hate you
I'LL GET ON THE BUS AND KILL YOU!
I hate you
I hate you
Hate you

I'm over it [x3]
I'm ooooverrrrr it
I'm over it [x3]
I'm over it [x3]

College lyrics - Conor Oberst

When I'm feeling down and it's hard for me to see
I just think of when you slept over watching over me
And it makes me feel better, but really not that much
I reach out my hand frightened to throw your hand a clutch
You taught me how to play this thing then you left me here
I'm running from my sadness and I'm running from my fear

Something deep inside of me will always miss you
But now you're gone and there is nothing I can do
[?] but like it ever was,
My guitar needs tuning and the TV's in a fuss
I lay awake and cry at night waiting for the sound
Of your foot steps coming up the stairs while I watch a show downtown
You taught me how to play this thing, then you left me here
I'm running from my sadness and I'm running from fear

A broken string, a broken heart is all I have to hold
But just like you have always been I'll try to be as bold
I lost a real good friend today but you had to leave
[?]
And now I hope, and every night I pray
That you are kept safe and brought back to me someday
I miss you and I love you, this you already know
What I didn't tell you is that you're my hero

Ouija lyrics - Conor Oberst

A natural noise,
Is free in the air.
Trying so hard,
to give the whole block a scare.
And that voice so true in my ear,
I go next door, just to be near to it.
Practice is done,
Go outside for a smoke.
Listen to some more of, Porters jokes.
No more man,
Please turn it down.
If you don't we all might bust a gut.
(yeah yeah)
We just might bust a gut

Words don't quite explain,
EVERYTHING I'M TRYING TO SAY.
I, don't know where to go.
I GUESS ILL JUST ASK THE OUIJA BOARD.
It doesn't know.
Everything to me is a gun!
About to go off,
I feel myself, I'm falling right in!
Guys we'll be alright,

We sit and talk,
For most of the night.
Another cool game, with the strobe light.
And that's not all, there's something I lack,
Dirty little boy is a lumberjack.
(tonight)

Clint's really cool, and,
I don't mean to hurt.
But that really is a star stopping shirt.
Oh no no man,
The lynch mob's attacking, again,
Good thing we have a pyschotic like friend
Oh yeah,
To eat some heads for us.

Words don't quite explain,
EVERYTHING I'M TRYING TO SAY.
I, don't know where to go.
I GUESS ILL JUST ASK THE OUIJA BOARD.
It doesn't know.
Everything to me is a gun!
About to go off,
As I try to hold myself down!
Guys we'll be alright,

You guys are so good,
but you think you suck.
More or less time,
My brothers not a big hessian.

Yeah here comes Dill,
Just pulled up in his bus,
I'm in love with Lisa from Toys, R US.

Lisa's straight edge,
The rest of you aren't.
Offer us a smoke,
But we're to smart, again.

Yeah it sure means a lot,
To have you guys here.
To light up dead smoke,
And bring Porter a beer.

Half A Minute Away lyrics - Conor Oberst

Sometimes she feels like talking,
Sometimes she doesn't know
Sometimes she doesn't want to talk at all
Sometimes she tells me secrets that I just can't expose
Sometimes she doesn't tell me any
And it gets so dark and I can't find my way
In a place where there is no day

White walls and barred up windows leave her astray
I bet she never knew what it was like
And half of the time she didn't have much of a choice
Lay back on your head against the cold tile floor
Close your eyes, fall back for a safety net, it doesn't seem to work
Gives way right at the impact,
That's okay cause that's not what you wanted to ever be
And it's probably better this way
Hide yourself from a world that doesn't seem to care
And the God that doesn't hear you
But every time I get so sick inside
I tell myself I'm a happening...

And she gets so cold sometimes
She just starts to shake
Other times she feels nothing
I live all the time and try to make it, everything seem so expired
I want to be rid of it all, just want to find some place to be yourself, yourself
But then I find I'm between the same four walls, it isn't fair... It just isn't
[?]
I'm dying at times to make amends, anything like that
Sit in a corner, don't look at anyone
Well you're a liar! I know what's wrong but I never knew what was right
So why does it matter? I don't think it does at all

And every time I get so angry I just tell myself to pretend that you're not alone
[?] try and try again just for one in a million chance, chance, one in a million chance
Hold back all your pride and self esteem
Like a mental stability, maybe just control
Well I want or don't want to know what's wrong
She feels like she's in a trash compactor and it's closing in on her
But my voice puts her at ease
She doesn't have time anyway, [?]
[?]
And she stops, took a shaking breath and said goodbye
She had managed to save a piece of broken glass inside her side
No, it wasn't gun but it would have to do the job
It would probably do the job
The only thing she ever wanted was for me to be there to hold her hand
But she understood, and nothing but a dial tone ringing in my ear
Soft, but not reassuring,
And every time I get so sick inside
I tell myself I'm a happening...

Purple Chin lyrics - Conor Oberst

I traveled a million miles by myself
Am I here, or am I somewhere else?
I'm somewhere else, and I smile as to misplace
I woke up and I was face to face
With some strange evil that I just can't erase

And at times I guess I don't care about this [?]
[?]
But I can't let it trouble me,
Not with such great possibility
Will it come, Will it come? We'll just have to wait and see

I have to steal what I cannot take
Once I learn what's at stake
[?]
Why are we still standing here, here, here, still standing here

I've been pushed in, I've been thrown out
I've blew up the things you only read about
[?]
Destructive blood runs through my head
And all the things that are left unfed
How can I sleep when my life is sick in bed?

Like an airplane coming down
Trying to walk or lounging around
I don't know, I don't know but I can't just give up anymore
You gave up, I lost ten
If I had known now where I've been
But someday I plan to go back there again once again

I have to steal what I couldn't make
Once I learned what I couldn't take
And I know what was the best
Each time we put the best to rest
To rest, gonna put it all to rest
To rest, we put it all to rest
It's time I put it all to rest
To rest

Lake Havasu (In Florida) lyrics - Conor Oberst

Yo, Wiley, Conor Maynard, Animal

[Wiley:]
Can't believe my eyes, yeah, she's winning,
She's another one of them beautiful women,
Take a look like ten, ten, ten,
She in a skin-tight dress, all fitted,
Eyes like Cat Woman, knows I want her,
I'm looking back so she knows I on her,
Animal instinct, I'm real,
Drive her crazy, she knows the deal,

[Conor Maynard:]
Looking for a girl that was here but now she's gone,
Felt so good even though she did me wrong,
She knows what I want but she's bad for me,
She gets what she wants when she's touching me,
I shoulda known better but she took my self control,

You can take my heart like a criminal,
Won't you make me believe I'm the only one?
So grab me by the neck and don't you ever let go,
Mess me up so good until I'm begging for more,
Girl tear me apart like an animal...
Like an animal, animal,

I know I'm getting close from the trail of broken hearts,
Hope she coming back to finish what she started,
I never see the claws until she's touching me,
She's holding me so tight it's getting hard to breath,
I'll never win the game but it feels too good to care,

You can take my heart like a criminal,
(Like a criminal, like a criminal)
Won't you make me believe I'm the only one?
(I'm the only one, I'm the only one)
So grab me by the neck and don't you ever let go,
Mess me up so good until I'm begging for more,
Girl tear me apart like an animal...
Like an animal, animal,

[Wiley:]
Can't believe my eyes, yeah, she's winning,
She's another one of them beautiful women,
Take a look like ten, ten, ten,
She in a skin-tight dress, all fitted,
Eyes like Cat Woman, knows I want her,
I'm looking back so she knows I want her,
Animal instinct, I'm real,
Drive her crazy, she knows the deal (animal)
Can't believe my eyes, yeah, she's winning (animal)
She's another one of them beautiful women (animal)
Take a look like ten, ten, ten (animal)
She in a skin-tight dress, all fitted (animal)
Eyes like Cat Woman, knows I want her,
I'm looking back so she knows I want her,
Animal instinct, I'm real,
Drive her crazy, she knows the deal,

[Conor Maynard:]
(You can take my heart like a criminal)
So grab me by the neck and don't you ever let go,
Mess me up so good until I'm begging for more,
Girl tear me apart like an animal...The mission has failed
And I am a hopeless mess
Spare me the details
Of how it all worked out
The damages eludes
Me with my own two hands

We did this ourselves
We built this ourselves
But where am I supposed to go running
When all of my friends out there are scared?
Can you feel on your own?
How does it feel on your own?

But I'm not gonna bang against your throat
You know we're all at sea
I've seen it myself
I just want home

You told me to speak in tongues for you
"Puwelo anyabont, Havasu"
So how did I do?
Like an animal, animal.

North Of The City lyrics - Conor Oberst

Feel blue, miles above you the silver screen
reach out and touch you and the dark of the
back row this is a place where young lover go
when they want to be alone perfection has never
crossed my lips but is there anyway to describe it
when two moviestars kiss. there is magic in the
air...magic in the air

north of the city, on the quiet, quiet road, I find myself
dreaming of days long ago and their lonely, lonely
theater where tragic movies play, he didn't find out
that he loved her till she finally gone away

but they know that nothing lasts forever we should
be grateful for the time we have together.
is that enough to keep me from crying
is that enough to keep me from lying
