Conor Oberst - Eagle On A Pole |
| [00:17.49] |
Saw an eagle on a pole, |
| [00:22.60] |
I think it was an eagle. |
| [00:25.41] |
|
| [00:26.79] |
Watched its' shadow fly 'cross the cement. |
| [00:31.98] |
|
| [00:35.23] |
And I woke up in the snow, |
| [00:38.41] |
all the trees, and crowds, and people. |
| [00:43.21] |
|
| [00:44.02] |
No shirt, no shoes, no idea where they went. |
| [00:49.67] |
|
| [00:51.55] |
I followed the fenceline thin, |
| [00:54.74] |
back where the yard begins |
| [01:00.16] |
My woman, she stood crying like a man. |
| [01:06.46] |
|
| [01:10.33] |
Said, where have you been? |
| [01:12.58] |
|
| [01:14.70] |
Where have you been? |
| [01:17.95] |
I thought you said that all of that was done. |
| [01:23.37] |
|
| [01:25.94] |
El Cielo es azul, |
| [01:29.81] |
Just don't go telling anyone. |
| [01:33.90] |
|
| [01:38.89] |
Thought the kettle was a train. |
| [01:42.88] |
Thought that Monday was a doorframe. |
| [01:46.75] |
|
| [01:47.43] |
Tried so hard to finally settle down. |
| [01:52.55] |
|
| [01:55.36] |
Heard the fire pop and snap. |
| [01:59.23] |
Like a tack piano rag. |
| [02:02.72] |
|
| [02:03.72] |
I never could get used to happy sounds. |
| [02:10.08] |
|
| [02:11.14] |
Yeah, I hope the world's exposed. |
| [02:15.32] |
A cruel and elaborate hoax. |
| [02:19.69] |
It convinces me to walk without a cane. |
| [02:26.31] |
|
| [02:29.56] |
But what can you do? |
| [02:31.49] |
|
| [02:33.80] |
Child, what can you do? |
| [02:36.17] |
|
| [02:36.67] |
I always heard that what is done is done. |
| [02:41.79] |
|
| [02:44.60] |
El Cielo es azul, |
| [02:48.40] |
Just don't go telling anyone. |
| [02:52.36] |
|
| [03:14.01] |
The past don't ever quit. |
| [03:17.32] |
|
| [03:18.01] |
There's boxes in the attic. |
| [03:21.62] |
|
| [03:22.62] |
Baby shoes and taxidermy dream. |
| [03:28.00] |
|
| [03:30.55] |
While the ashes of the dead, like a dandelion head, |
| [03:38.48] |
explode and then are scattered by the breeze. |
| [03:46.34] |
We're such a long way back to all the fun that we had. |
| [03:54.14] |
|
| [03:55.41] |
When nothing ever seemed to bother me. |
| [04:01.95] |
|
| [04:04.58] |
But what can you do? |
| [04:06.39] |
|
| [04:07.01] |
Brother, what can you do? |
| [04:11.19] |
Sleep with the stars, and toil in the sun. |
| [04:16.93] |
|
| [04:19.73] |
El Cielo es azul, |
| [04:23.74] |
Just don't go telling anyone. |
| [04:26.92] |
|
| [04:27.79] |
El Cielo es azul, |
| [04:31.48] |
Just don't go telling anyone. |
| [04:37.09] |
|
| [04:37.84] |
