Lyrics Conor Oberst

Conor Oberst

Lonely At The Top

It's lonely at the top of the upside mountain

Watch the sunrise from a windowless room

If the Paramedics stall the soul goes on

Without them in a wicker basket tied to a balloon

There are no boundaries to love

The heart can't comprehend the panorama

I took it on the chin from some second hand feeling

Sorrow handed down to me it felt brand new

Tiny violins or some summer insects listening

Another season leaving us too soon

Freedom's the opposite of love

You'll never keep it through the paranoia

Standing on the edge of a million landscapes

Emptying and the water from the glacier fills my shoes

Laying in your bed my dreams are sex and violence

I chase the rapist chasing after you

There is no dignity in love

Trade every scrap to get some absolution

'Til then I'm walking out the door

'Til then I'm running through the airport

'Til then i'm waiting around for no one
