Conor Oberst: NPR Music Tiny Desk Concert

Order: Reorder
Duration: 19:55
Updated: 23 Jun 2014

Conor Oberst's new album has fast become my favorite of the Bright Eyes singer's solo projects, so having him come to NPR and perform a few of these songs at the Tiny Desk was especially exciting. The new music on Upside Down Mountain contains the sort of personal songwriting that got me loving him in the first place. His backing band for this tour is the roots-rock group Dawes, which has a huge following in its own right. At the Tiny Desk, Dawes brothers Taylor and Griffin Goldsmith joined in on beautiful harmonies, guitar and some light percussion. It was an especially sweet day — a rare weekend Tiny Desk Concert that had friends and families present, including Oberst's wife (Corina Figueroa-Escamilla) and his father Matthew. Oberst actually began making music on his dad's four-track cassette machine more than 20 years ago. Now 33, Oberst seems much happier, if his songs are any indication. You may even see that on his face as he performs these stripped-down and soulful songs on a beautiful Saturday afternoon. --BOB BOILEN SET LIST "Time Forgot" "Double Life" "Zigzagging Toward The Light" "Artifact #1" CREDITS Producers: Bob Boilen, Denise DeBelius; Audio Engineer: Kevin Wait; Videographers: Denise DeBelius, Olivia Merrion; Production Assistant: Alex Schelldorf; photo by Olivia Merrion/NPR

Comedian Marc Maron is tackling the most complex philosophical question of our day - WTF? He'll get to the bottom of it with help from comedian friends, celebrity guests and the voices in his own head. Episode 577 - Conor Oberst Conor Oberst is a virtuoso singer-songwriter, known for fronting bands like Bright Eyes, Monsters of Folk and Desaparecidos. Now with his first solo album under his belt, Conor sits down with Marc to talk about the intangible nature of writing songs, the difficulty in being compared to Bob Dylan, and the frightening period of his life when a false accusation turned everything upside down.

Conor Oberst and the Felice Brothers live at the TRIFFID on the 25th of February 2015. I originally recorded the show for my brother and sisters back home in England, but I thought I'd share it here for all to see. Unfortunately, the majority of the show has been lost as one of the memory cards became corrupted, but there's still a couple of great tracks on this recording. The TRIFFID is an awesome venue and if you're interested check out their website - they have a great time-lapse video of them building their setup - http://thetriffid.com.au/venue/

Top Bright Eyes, Conor Oberst

She invites me to a closet
the night moves in her eyes
and i know now what she wanted
she'd been hinting it all this time
and i dont mean to scare you
but i've wanted this for so long
to have you forever
and she kissed me and said
"this is the way we communicate", in the dark
this is the way we communicate in the dark
its just the way we communicate
its just the way we communicate
she told, she told, she told, she told, she told everyone
but it didnt happen
she told, she told, she told, she told, she told everything and it finally
happened (repeat)
she was searching for attention
she told everyone but me
and i thought that she forgot to
hey well i guess it couldnt be
and then finally one day
she built up her lust
to ask me the question
"is this real or is this 'just the way we communicate in the dark'?"
its just the way we communicate in the dark
its just the way we communicate
its just the way we communicate
she told, she told, she told, she told, she told everyone
but it didnt happen
she told, she told, she told, she told, she told everything and it finally
happened (repeat)

Top Conor Oberst, Breezy

Move your slender fingers
Help me play this song
Spend another night inside this rented mansion
I love you now
I know that doesn't matter
I love you now
I know that doesn't matter
Kissing me full of beer, tequila, weed, and candy
Walking down the boardwalk
Act like we were married
You always made it easy
Then I'd want you more
You always kept it easy
Then I'd want you more
Too smart for your own good
Too sweet, too logical
Statistics round your head
Tried to teach me about baseball
My favorite was the part when they make it home
I like it when they steal, and when they make it home
You left us with a sorrow too unreal to help
Heard the birds sound broadcast speakers at the Phoenix
hotel
All your friends are standing, crying, on the sidewalk
All your boyfriends, they were standing crying on the
sidewalk
Breezy, I feel dizzy
Can you help me up?
It's crowded at the back door
How we getting to the bus?
I'd like to help you find it if there's something
better
Yeah, I'll try and help you find it if there's
something better
Move your slender fingers
Help me play this song
Spend another night inside this practice mansion
I love you now
I know that's all that matters
I love you now

Top Conor Oberst, Cape Canaveral

Oh, oh, oh brother totem pole
I saw your legends lined up
And I never felt more natural
Apart, I just came apart
Please, please, please sister Socrates
You always answer with a question
Show some kindness to a petty thief
Forgive, you did forgive
Watch the migrants smoke in the old orange grove
And the red rocket blaze over Cape Canaveral
You’ve been a father to me
In 1960’s speak
In the comatose joy that we’re on TV
While the mountain’s side was shining
Wild colors of my destiny
I watched your face age backwards
Changing shape in my memory
You told me victory’s sweet
Even deep in the cheap seats
Hey, hey, hey mother interstate
Can you deliver me from evil
Make me honest make me wedding cake
Atone, I will atone
Wait, wait, wait mighty outer-space
All that flying saucer terror
Made me lazy drinking lemonade
A waste, it just went to waste
Like the Freon cold out the hotel door
Or the white rocket fade over Cape Canaveral
You’ve been a daughter to me
Your buried shoe-box grief
I felt your poltergeist love like savannah heat
While the waterfall was pouring
Crazy symbols of my destiny
I watched your face die backwards
Little baby in my memory
You told me victory's sweet
Even deep in the cheap seats
And you don’t judge me
That’s not your style
But I won’t see you for a little while
And there’s no worries
Whose got time
All these changes are going to fill your mind
Like the citrus glow off the old orange grove
Or the red rocket blaze over Cape Canaveral
It’s been a nightmare to me
Some 1980’s grief
Gives me parachute dreams
Like old war movies
While the universe was drawn
Perfect circles form infinity
I watched the stars get smaller
Tiny diamonds in my memory
I know that victory is sweet

Top Conor Oberst, Danny Callahan

Green world, love the chloroform.
Front porch in the thunderstorm.
Controlled chaos, confused energy.
So stop reading the weather charts.
Stop counting the playing cards.
There's no system, there's no guarantee
That the love you feel and carry inside can be passed.
But you try, I know you do you still talk
to your plans.
Ask how are you getting on alone?
Some wander the wilderness,
some drink cosmopolitans.
Some cold science, some glean astroplanes.
I can't tell where the canvas stops,
homesick as an astronaut.
Just keep drifting, but still can't explain.
How the love we feel we carry inside can be passed.
See a brother in the gutter you reach out your hand.
Ask how are you getting on alone?
What gauge measures miracles?
And whose heartbeat's electrical?
We feign sickness with our modern joy.
But even Western medicine,
it couldn't save Danny Callahan.
Bad bone marrow, a bald little boy.
But the love he feels he carries inside can be passed.
He lay still,
his mother kissed him goodbye, said 'comeback.'
Where are you going to alone?

Top Conor Oberst, Difference Is Time

Well, call me if you wanna talk there's a telephone on your wall
And the reasons are many and not too far apart
If there's some blood left in your heart, well let him finally start
If you run you can catch me it's wide but not too short
I wanna hear the whistle blow and feelings go
I wanna be done with everything I know
Difference is time, it's the best prison waiting in line
Difference is time, it's yours and it's especially mine
Difference is time
It's hard to stand on my feet with this weight of vagrancy
I've been trying to tell the difference between the road and my street
But there's an end I wish you didn't eat when I'm done dancing to this beat
On my headstone it will be written life is hard even if you cheat
I wanna hear the whistle blow and the feet is row
I wanna be doe with everyone I know
The difference is time, it's the best prison waiting in line
Difference is time, it's yours and it's especially mine
Difference is time, difference is time
Don't act like there ain't nothing wrong
With a switch like that it's just mean to keep it on
Don't act like there ain't nothing wrong
With a switch like that it's just mean to keep it on
Difference is time, it's the past prison waiting in line
Difference is time, it's yours and it's especially mine
Difference is time, it's the past prison waiting in line
Difference is time, I know she's yours but she's especially mine
Difference is time, difference is time
Difference is time, difference is time
She ain't yours and she sure ain't mine
She ain't yours and she sure ain't mine

Top Conor Oberst, College

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

Top Conor Oberst, Corina Corina

Corina, Corina
Where you been so long?
Corina, Corina
Where you been so long?
I've been so worried about you, coquito
When are you coming home?
Corina, Corina
Where did you sleep last night?
You come back around this morning
Clothes don't fit you right
I got a bird that whistles
I got a bird that sings
I got a bird that whistles
I got a bird that sings
Oh without you Corina, this life don't mean a thing
Corina, Corina
Listen, you make me blue
Corina, Corina
Listen, you make me blue
Miss Figueroa-Escamilla
Hey, I'm talking to you!
Corina, Corina
Where have you been so long?

I'm trapped in Tepoztlán
You're way out there in Toluca

Top Conor Oberst, Get Well Cards

All the peacock people left the plumes in a pile
They look good to a fault
And the Gulf water's warm like a bathtub
Full of lavender and epsom salt
See a bleach blond boy put his long board down
Help his girl get her sunscreen on
I thought about you in your little house
Think you're lonely but I could be wrong and...
I wanna be your bootlegger
Wanna mix you up something strange
Braid your hair like a sister
Maim you like a hurricane
Right there, that's the postman sleeping in the sand
He's got a letter to deliver, but I can't stay mad, oh
Right there, that's the postman asleep in the sand
He's got a get-well-card to deliver
He's gonna do it by hand, he's gonna do it by hand
Now they drive the cars up and down the beach
It's ridiculous and everybody knows
Hear the Mustangs rev at the four way stop
You get ghosted when the light says go
But in a town like this, in the checkered flag dawn
It's so empty you could make somebody dream
So maybe it's you, in your four-post bed
Fell asleep with still the blood in your teeth and...
I wanna be your happiness
I wanna be your common sense pain
Wrap your head in a picket fence
Rebuild after the hurricane
Right there, that's the postman sleeping in the sand
He's got my letters to deliver, but I'm still not mad
Right there, that's the postman asleep in the sand
He's got a get-well-card to deliver
He's gonna do it by hand
He's gonna do it, he's gonna do it
He's gonna do it, he's gonna do it
He's gonna do it, he's gonna do it... by hand
Right there, that's the postman sleeping in the sand
He's got a letter to deliver, but I can't stay mad, oh
Right there, that's the postman asleep in the sand
He's got a head stack now to deliver
He's wants to do it by hand
He's gonna do it, he's gonna do it
He's gonna do it, he's gonna do it
He's gonna do it, he's gonna do it

Top Conor Oberst, Half A Minute Away

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

Top Conor Oberst, Over It

Sick of your politics
[Undecypherable]
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 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
'M ooooverrrrr it
I'm over it x3

Top Conor Oberst, Puddle Stomper

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

Top Conor Oberst, Purple Chin

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
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

Top Conor Oberst, Sausalito

hair blowing in the hot wind
time hanging from a clothes pin
there's no sorrow that the sun's not gonna help
smell the leather of your new car
drive through the desert after night fall
sleep on the shoulder keep the stars all to ourselves
the kinda love that makes my back hurt
wearing nothing but a t-shirt
she's turning over on a mattress made of air
i close my eyes i see a stair case
leading upwards into blank space
all of creation makes a sound too soft to hear
so I remain between her legs
sheltered from all my fears
while bikers glide by highway shrines
where pilgrims disappear
i know that trouble's been your good friend
keep you company on the weekends
keep you company even once your mind was made
said it's over and it's finished
now a headache is all you're left with
we're no different i got debts i'd like to pay
we should move to Sausalito
living's easy on a house boat
let the ocean rock us back and forth to sleep
in the morning with the sunrise
look in the water see the blue sky
as if heaven has been laid there at our feet
so we remain between these waves
sheltered for all our years
while bikers glide by highway shrines
where pilgrims disappear
where time takes icebergs
where fields burn westward

Top Conor Oberst, Snake Hill

I was born on Snake Hill and that's where I'll probably die
'Cause I don't like to kill but I've got poison in my bite
Well, I feel safe to say
That I should probably stay upon Snake Hill
My mother told me son you've got strychnine in your blood
It comes from pedigree ancestry
She warned me not to leave, said my conscience was too deep
That when I bite it would hurt mostly me
For many, many years well I stayed up on that hill
Occasionally I'd go down to the edge
Just to see what I could see
Soon curiosity got the best of me
And it's a big world and it's not fair to me
To have to stay up when there's so much to see
I wanna play with others that I need to meet
The poison will be poison till it's through
Soon I hit the world I discovered that a girl
Was what my mother tried to hide from me
She could make you feel alive, she could make you wanna die
And that's exactly what she did to me
And it was only self-defense and I coiled up and I bit
I let my venom run into her veins and I sat and watched her die to me
Then I realized I was born on Snake Hill and that's where I'll probably die
'Cause I don't like to kill but I've got poison in my bite
Well, I feel safe to say
That I should probably stay upon Snake Hill
And it's a big world and it's not fair to me
To have to stay when there's so much to see
I wanna play with others that I need to meet
And poison will be poison till it's through
Poison will be poison till it's through
Poison will be poison till it's through

The Bario starts two streets over
Miguel, he's a friend of mine
With brick weed built a reputation
Like dry ice in the summertime
Now all you need's an electric razor
A magic bullet and a grassy knoll
The whole world's just a little oyster
To Snow White and the Poisoned Apples
I woke up in the age of wires
I fell asleep at the dusk of man
Now I'm cold -
Fingers crossed in the Promised Land
But you won't be getting in
(You know by now)
No you won't be getting in

No you won't be getting in

All souled out - in heaven
The Bario starts two streets over
Monsay, she's a friend of mine
Keeps the peace like a whistle blower
Flying kites in the wintertime
Magic carpet is the transportation
Went to the moon in a soda can
Not all my boys believe in science
Stretching truth in the Promised Land
But you won't be getting in

No you won't be getting in
No you won't be getting in

Top Conor Oberst, Space Invaders

I know what you're thinking
Or at least 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

Top Conor Oberst, Sundress

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 awhile
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

Top Conor Oberst, Synesthete Song

Harbor Ann, take me as I am
A flame reduced to ash
Laugh as my youth is taken from me
Winter's day, am I in your way?
You press against my skin
All the flowery speeches ended fast
Clinking glass
The champagne made my head feel light
And overcast the stars
Paper crane, tell me it's OK
An opera glasses view
Kaleidoscope of now and never
Gaia's love, schizophrenia
The devil's in my coat
Mothership coming to pick me up
Just my luck
They got my house surrounded
I'm the only one I trust
The dark light of man
The dark let him in
Synesthete, can I confide in thee?
The color is the sound
The screams were orange
My footsteps silver
Secret plan, man, I'll tell you if I can
The evils of this world are at your doorstep
Let me enter, friend, understand
We have come to the convergence

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

Top Conor Oberst, Upside Down Mountain

It ain't perfect nothing is
There's still room to grow
Feeling different staying in
Made a little home
So when I sit back in my chair
As the evening waits
I don't remember getting here
But I'm glad I came
Don't look down just cross the bridge
And when you get there
You'll know why you did
There's a better life on the other side
It's your double life on the other side
It's your second life on the other side
It ain't simple like before
These are different times
No longer worried about getting bored
Just trying to clear my mind
From all the noise out there
All the spooks all the moving parts
Cameras everywhere I look imitating art
Don't look down just cross the bridge
And when you get there
You'll be glad did
There's a better life on the other side
There's an honest life on the other side
It's your double life
It's your second life on the other side
There's an honest life on the other side

Top Conor Oberst, Eagle On A Pole

Saw an eagle on a pole,
'Think it was an eagle.
Watched its' shadow fly 'cross the cement.
And I woke up in the snow,
all the trees, and crowds, and people.
No shirt, no shoes, no idea where they went.
I followed the fence line thin,
back where the yard begins
My woman, she stood crying like a man.
Said, where have you been?
Where have you been?
I thought you said that all of that was done.
El Cielo es azul,
Just don't go telling everyone
Thought the kettle was a train.
Thought that Monday was a door frame.
I tried so hard to finally settle down.
Heard the fire pop and snap.
Like a tack piano rag.
I never could get used to happy sounds.
But I hope the world's exposed.
A cruel and elaborate hoax,
That convinces me to walk without a cane.
But what can you do?
What can you do?
I always heard that what is done is done.
El Cielo es azul,
Just don't go telling everyone
The past don't ever quit.
There's boxes in the attic.
Baby shoes and taxidermy dreams.
While the ashes of the dead, like a dandelion head,
explode and then are scattered by the breeze.
And its such a long way back to all the fun I had.
When nothing ever seemed to bother me.
But what can you do?
Child, what can you do?
Sleep 'neath the stars, and toil in the sun.
El Cielo es azul,
Just don't go telling everyone
El Cielo es azul,

Top Conor Oberst, Blowtorch

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 its not like I expected all the people
I respected to come tumbling down on top of me
And acting like I'm choking
So you can't that I've been choking on every word I've
ever tried to say to you
It's nothing 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'm been
fusing
With the blowtorch that you gave to me
And can't you see that I'm bending from the wooden
postcards that you've been sending
I sprained my back it's easier
And you'd think I'm broken from the Family fun token
that 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
Token is rusting in my hands
Token is rusting in my hands
Token is rusting in my
Rusting in my hands and I'm pudding in your hands
it's rusting in my hands
so take it away from me
Just get it away from me.
Take this away from me

Top Conor Oberst, Bloodline

Rolling 'round a lifetime on a name that spells my past
Carried through the mile markers up towards some last laugh
And if fools could only prosper I'm afraid what they might say
From a podium built on generations bleeding what they make
'Cause here it comes, watch 'em all jump right in
Tell me how could you refuse to float with the rest of them?
You were born into it, there's no shame if you drift
Down the bloodline
Feeling temperamental underneath a broke sun
A certificate of excellence but no proof on your pay stub
And if money's not a problem I suggest you best believe
There's ten dollars on the table and a million up his sleeve
And here they come, watch 'em all pass us by
Tell me how could you refuse to look one in the eye?
Two sheets to the wind all over again
Down the bloodline, down the bloodline
Yes, it feels scary to be ordinary
In a world that don't know your name
It would not be weird if I just disappeared
Blowing my back out, trying to hope I wake
Looking for a doctor with a cure for a broke heart
Seems I spent it all on a miracle just to watch it fall apart
Now there's no room for ill complainin', I know it's all just what it is
Cherry pick my best believers and send 'em off with a kiss
'Cause there they go, watch 'em all wave goodbye
Tell me how could you refuse to think it's a wonderful life?
Two sheets to the wind all over again down the bloodline

Top Conor Oberst, Air Mattress

I wanna sleep on the air mattress with you
And let the air leak out, what won't I do?
And as we sleep our bodies slowly meet
I can feel it when your heart beats, I do
The air mattress with you
(Can I sleep on?)
The air mattress with you
It's under covers where it all begins
And we pretend that we are just friends
But when the others fall asleep that ends
We become lovers once again, we do
The air mattress with you
(Can I sleep on?)
The air mattress with you
(Can I sleep on?)
The air mattress with you
(Can I sleep on?)
The air mattress with you
My dreams they have a holiday
My lungs they twist the night away
And even if I stay away I still get rest for hours
I still get rest for hours, I still get rest for hours
And even if there was a king size bed
Where I can stretch my legs and lie my head
All by myself in the darkest room
Just know that no matter what the options are I choose
The air mattress with you
(Can I sleep on?)
The air mattress with you
(Can I sleep on?)
The air mattress with you
(Can I sleep on?)

Top Conor Oberst, Gentleman's Pact

I was lost for a while in a mirrored hallway of a high-
rise hotel
Umbrella drink in my hand, sitting down
Saw ten thousand me's, numb cocaine teeth in their
chattering mouths
Thought about home, thought about death, thought about
moving south
Rodeo wind blew in, now the candle's out and everyone's
scared
Call my broker, sell everything, I want to be prepared
Heard the cavalry cry of my girl for the night when I
entered her
Sounded so fake, always feels fake, finishes and then
it feels worse
Every hallway has a camera
Every hallway has a camera don't you know
They never let you open the window
They never let you open the window
Smoke signals of thought, white ribbons of loss
High above the tree line, they cry out
I froze up for a second on the pyramid side of the Las
Vegas strip
My brother hunched over in the bushes getting sick
Security knew took one look and threw us out
Life's not fair
I tried to die young with my true love, ended up a
millionaire
The mechanical world, a loud sound you've never heard
that's always there
Radio's trailing through the desert, keep driving until
you disappear
We made a gentlemen's pact: no stopping, no looking
back
Lace those shoes.
Take the first step
Take the next step
That's a boy!
It is never too soon
All that you keep is the journey, all you keep are the
spaces in between
It's not the fresh start or the ending
All that you keep is the journey
Smoke rings round my thoughts
Blue ribbons at the dawn
High beyond the tree line we pass out
Smoke signals of thought, white ribbons of loss

Top Conor Oberst, Lava Monster

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 but
Don’t you worry because 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 his flame from hurting you
From hurting you
He will not hurt you
Will not hurt you

Top Conor Oberst, I Got The Reason

You know a lot can happen after everybody falls asleep
Ask the forest fire, ask the cop walking on the beat
And do right by them, work a little in your dreams
Don't let time rob you, hold onto your memories
In the glass houses, in the pages of the Rolling Stone
I get a sick feeling like I'm rocking in a little boat
I hear the big church bell, it's ringing like a mobile phone
It's such a long Sunday drive to be taken it all alone
I wanna belong to a reason and cut a new key to the kingdom
And if anybody asks me say I wanna belong
If anybody asks me say sure it won't take long now
If anybody asks me say I'm gonna get it done
If anybody asks me say I've gotta reason
In the last hard drive, in the satellites that kick and spin
They keep the old footage so everything can live again
Pretty pink roses, the ostrich and the elephant
It's the last Noah's ark so everything's gotta fit
In the creased pages of the letter I've been trying to send
To a young widow who is desperate for some kind of friend
You'll find a long list of eligible handsome men
Who wanna lay with her upon the table of the elements
They're gonna hold strong to a reason and cut a new key to the kingdom
And if anybody asks you say they're gonna belong
If anybody asks you say sure it won't take long now
If anybody asks you say, man I'm tryin' to get it done

I know that it is freezing but I think we have to walk
I keep waving at the taxis; they keep turning their
lights off
But Julie knows a party at some actor's west side loft
Supplies are endless in the evening; by the morning
they'll be gone.
When everything gets lonely I can be my own best friend
I'll grab a coffee and the paper; have my own
conversations
With the sidewalk and the pigeons and my window
reflection
The mask I polish in the evening, by the morning looks
like shit.
I know you have a heavy heart; I can feel it when we
kiss
So many men much stronger than me have thrown their
backs out trying to lift it
But me I'm not gamble you can count on me to split
The love I sell you in the evening, by the morning
won't exist.
You're looking skinny like a model with your eyes all
painted black
You just keep going to the bathroom always say you'll
be right back
Well it takes one to know one, kid, I think you've got
it bad
But what's so easy in the evening, by the morning is
such a drag.
I've got a flask inside my pocket we can share it on
the train
If you promise to stay conscious I will try and do the
same
We might die from medication, but we sure killed all
the pain
But what was normally in the evening, by the morning
seems insane.
And I'm not sure what the trouble was that started all
of this
The reasons have run away but the feeling never did
It's not something I would recommend, but it is one way
to live
Cause what is simple in the moonlight, by the morning
never is
What's so simple in the moonlight, by the morning is so
complicated.
What's so simple in the moonlight, so simple in the

Little voices mimic you
It's not so hard to make that sound
So watch your back,

Cut your hair like Joan of Arc
Disguise your will
They'll find you out
And when they do...
Look out
There's money lenders inside the temple
That circus tiger's gonna break your heart
Something so wild turned into paper
If I loved you, well that's my fault
A bitch in heat,
the alpha male
Not something she'd ever tell
Except when she got deathly high
And out it came,
like summer rain
Washed the cars and everything
Felt clean for just a little while
A telethon...
We drove down
The starving children they ain't got no mother
There's pink flamingos living in the mall
I'd give a fortune to your infomercial
If somebody would just take my call
take my call
take my call
Hello,

Sorrow all across the surface roads
Smoothing out the edges of the stone
The lights are out, where'd everybody go?

Erase yourself and you'll be free

All we are is colored sand
So pay to ride the ferris wheel
Smile, all that you can feel

So I've come to make a trade
You can hate me but just love me in return
And if I know where to find you
I'll stay out of your way
I won't come beg to borrow all the happiness you earned
I'll just slide back down to the bottom
While you make your place in the hills
There's nothing that the road cannot heal
There's nothing that the road cannot heal
Washed under the blacktop
Gone beneath my wheels
There's nothing that the road cannot heal
They say the sun won't burn forever
but that's a science too exact
I can prove it -
Watch, we're crossing the state line
See those headlights coming towards us?
That's someone going back
To a town they said they'd never,yeah -
They swore it on their lives
But you can't break out of a circle
That you never knew you were in
There's nothing that the road cannot heal
There's nothing that the road cannot heal
Washed under the blacktop
Gone beneath my wheels
There's nothing that the road cannot heal
Some would spend their precious time
trying to decorate their lives
Taking measurements for some new look they want
So from one to ten - ten's exactly what I am
Zero being everything I'm not
Tell me what you like
Is it less than five?
Is it less than five?
There's nothing that the road cannot heal
There's nothing that the road cannot heal
When I make it to Moab
I'll get my canteen filled
There's nothing that the road cannot heal
Washed under the blacktop
Gone beneath my wheels

Top Conor Oberst, Milk Thistle

Milk Thistle, milk Thistle
Let me down slow
Help me go slow
I've been carrying on
I'm not scared of nothing
I'll go pound for pound
I keep death on my mind
like a heavy crown
If I go to heaven I'll be bored as hell
Like a little baby at the bottom of a well
Fair child, fair child
How are you man?
Did you fix that store front?
Did you start that band?
Don't be scared of nothing
You go pound for pound
You bring peace to midnight
like a spotted owl
I'll be rooting for you like my favorite team
If somebody sweats you, you just point them out to me
All the sights and sounds
This little world's too crowded now
And there's only one way out
An elevator ride -
Through the tunnel, towards the light
And I'm nowhere bound
Keep going up and down
Up and down
Newspaper, newspaper
Can't take no more
You're here every morning
Waiting at my door
I'm just trying to kiss you
And you stab my eyes
Make me blue forever
like an island sky
And I'm not pretending that it's all ok
Just let me have my coffee before you take away the day
Lazarus, Lazarus
Why all the tears?
Did your faithful chauffer
just disappear?
What a lonesome feeling
to be waiting round
Like some washed up actress
in a tinsel town
Before the record I'd come pick you up
We'll head for the ocean
Just say when you've had enough
All the light and sound
This little world's too fragile now
And there's only one way out
But if you let me slide
I'll do my best to make things right
And I'm nowhere bound
Just going up and down
Up and down
Milk Thistle, milk Thistle
Let me down slow
Just help me go slow
I've been hurrying on
I was poised for greatness
I was down and out
I keep death at my heels
like a bassett hound
If I go to heaven I'll be bored as hell

Top Conor Oberst, Ouija

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 dont 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, dont 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, dont 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,

Top Conor Oberst, Nyc-gone Gone

Gone, gone from New York City
Where're you gonna go with a head that empty?
Gone, gone from New York City
Where're you gonna go with a heart that gone?
Down, down to Mexico City
Got myself a lady, she knows how to treat me
Down, down to Mexico City
Got myself a lady, to lay me down
Lay me down
All my friends, want you to know
I'm gonna miss you when I go
But I'll see you down the road
Meet me at the station, way down low
Way down low
Gone, gone from New York City
Where're you gonna go with a head that empty?
Gone, gone from New York City
Where're you gonna go with a heart that gone?
Where're you gonna go with a heart that gone?
Gone, gone from New York City
Where're you gonna go with a head that empty?
Gone, gone from New York City

Top Conor Oberst, The Bumpercar Blues

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
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
I'm trying to get some sleep here
I'm trying to get sleep, quiet, sleep
Please, thanks, quiet, sleeps, please, thanks, quiet,
sleep, thanks

Top Conor Oberst, Ten Women

Ten women (ten women)
Ten women
Between you and me
Ten women (ten women)
Ten women
The nightmare and the fantasy
Ten women
The thrill and the shame
Ten women
I miss you the same
While you're kissing the ring
Of some good timing king
Ten women
A fool I have made
Two faces (two faces)
Two faces
Two faces you have
Two faces (two faces)
Two faces
Keep one in your bag
Two faces
From which you can choose
Two faces
And neither are you
Well I'm biding my time
Like a cellar of wine
With two faces
You'll never be true
One witness (one witness)
One witness
Is all that I need
One witness (one witness)
One witness
Just someone to see
One witness
To all that's been done
One witness
Whose eyes will not run
Just someone to shout
In this big, empty house
One witness
To mourn for our love
Ten women (ten women)
Ten women
Between you and me
Ten women (ten women)
Ten women
The glory and the tragedy
Ten women
To trust and betray
Ten women
I want you the same
It will be like it's been
If you come home again
With ten women

Top Conor Oberst, You Should Be In Sweden

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.
Cause I'm going. It's getting a little pricey.
That you should be in Sweden my friend
Cause 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

secretary.
Your hair doesn't shine like it used to.
You're not using that conditioner I gave you last year
from 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 can get back my postcard machine.
And It'll get in touch with your answering machines

Top Conor Oberst, I Don't Want To Die (in The Hospital)

I don't want to die in the hospital
I don't want to die in the hospital
I don't want to die in the hospital
You gotta take me back outside
I don't want to hear all these factory sounds
Looking like a girl in a sleeping gown
I don't want to die in the hospital
You gotta take me back outside
Can you make a sound to distract the nurse
Before I take a ride in the long black hearse
I don't want to die in the hospital
You gotta take me back outside
Help me get my boots on
Help me get my boots on
Help me get my boots back on
Help me get my boots on
Help me get my boots on
Help me get my boots back on
I gotta go, go, go
Cause I don't have long
I don't give a damn what the doctors say
I ain't gonna spend another lonesome day
I don't want to die in the hospital
You gotta take me back outside
And they don't let you smoke and you can't get drunk
All there is to watch are these soap operas
I don't want to die in the hospital
You gotta take me back outside
Can you get this tube out of my arm
Morphine in my blood like a slow sad song
I don't want to die in the hospital
You gotta take me back outside
Help me get my boots on
Help me get my boots on
Help me get my boots back on
Help me get my boots on
Help me get my boots on
Help me get my boots back on
I gotta go, go, go
Cause I don't have long
Is there still a world out my windowsill
All there ever was I remember still
I don't want to die in this hospital
You gotta take me back outside
Don't know when it's day or when it's night
All I ever see are fluorescent lights
I don't want to die in this hospital
You gotta take me back outside
They give me all these flowers and these big balloons
But I don't wanna stay in this little room
I don't want to die in this hospital
I don't want to die
Are the stars still in the sky?
Is that fat moon on the rise?
Feel the earth against my feet
as the cold wind calls for me
I don't want to die in this hospital
I don't want to die in this hospital
No I ain't gonna die in this hospital
You gonna take me back outside
Yeah I ain't gonna die in this hospital
No I ain't gonna die in this hospital
No I ain't gonna die in this hospital

Top Conor Oberst, Hubcap

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
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....

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

Top Conor Oberst, Things You Know

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
We'll thats no more than sympathy for me
Cause 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 awhile now
Sitting and acting like a child
And if you find my garden could you bring it back
Cause I've been lying here for awhile now
And I, I've been dying here for awhile now.
And I, I've been dying for awhile for awhile 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
Cause there's no footprints on your ceiling
And everything slips through my hand
I'm sorry I don't understand those point I should be
making
Your selflessness I should have miss
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 awhile now
Sitting and acting like I was in exile
But if you see my sister could you send her home
Cause I've been dying here for awhile now.
And I, I'll be dying here in awhile now.
Dying for awhile, for awhile now.
I'm dying for awhile, awhile, awhile now, for awhile
