The Bumpercar Blues
Conor Oberst
1, 2, 3, 4
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 conversation's dry
It's hard to find an answer when you know you have to lie
At the thought of my hopeless 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 can extend my disbelief
I never knew someone so broken could bring another such relief
Well it's easy to say you 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 until my vocal chords exploded you wouldn't hear my voice
You wouldn't hear my voice
And I feel like I'm in a bumpercar and I just got knocked off the track
Because 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 easier to make a mistake when you've lots all sense of direction
Try to swim 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
Quiet please, thanks
Quiet, sleep please, thanks
Quiet, sleep please, thanks
