Lyrics Conor Oberst

Conor Oberst

Flying J

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

Is J-bone's not like the other little boys

and I guess I can't expect him to see things always in my way

And he's like in my mind a bridge I can walk on

So I'm cool with the things that happen

two below on the ground stupid girls just look at the pieces now

(??????)

I'm drifting to sleep, I'm drifting to sleep as J-Bone speaks to me

And 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
