Lyrics Conor Oberst

Conor Oberst

Nikorette

I'm just trying to stay a human being

Sitting in the sun eating ice cream

Texting my friend about a bad, bad dream

Just had to tell someone who knows me

But I don't got time for this cuckoo clock

And I don't wanna go to your Mason lodge

There's nothing more sad than a lynching mob

Full of rational men who believe in God

But nothing makes sense when the wave rolls through

Nothing makes sense when the wave come through

So it could've been me or it could've been you

Whatever's in me is whatever's in you

My neighbor dreams big 'cause his house is small

Says all he needs now is some capital

It's a pirate world, it's a free-for-all

Just take your bright ideas and they make them dull

Now everyone I see I think I've known before

From the opera house to the grocery store

My love for them I cannot ignore

Like a human voice in a quiet morgue

But I don't wanna wear no dead man's suit

I don't wanna wear no dead man's suit

I don't wanna wait until the moon gets blue

I don't wanna wait until the moon turns blue

It's all just a fix, just one little hit

You'll hold it in

Sitting on a plane chewing Nicorette

Paradise lost, haven't found it yet

Will you talk me down if I get upset?

Be the cool washcloth to my fevered head

Because I don't wanna dream if it won't come true

I don't wanna dream if it don't come true

If there's something in me then I guess it's in you

If there's somewhere in me then I know it's in you

Little baby stone

Well, it's all just a fix, just one little hit

You're holding in, you'll hold it in

You're holding in, you'll hold it in

I don't wanna dream if it won't come true

I don't wanna dream if it don't come true

If there's something in me then I know it's in you

If there's somewhere in me then I know it's in you

Whatever happens to me it's going to happen to you

Whatever happens to me it's going to happen to you
