Lyrics Conor Oberst

Conor Oberst

Ten Women

Ten women (ten women)

Ten women between you and me

Ten women (ten women)

Ten women, the nightmare, the fantasy

Ten women, the thrill and the shame

Ten women, I miss you the same

While you're kissing the ring

Of some good timing king

Ten women, a fool I have made

Two faces (two faces)

Two faces, two faces you have

Two faces (two faces)

Two faces, keep one in your bag

Two faces from which you can choose

Two faces and neither are you

Though I'm biding my time

Like a cellar of wine

With two faces, you'll never be true

One witness (one witness)

One witness is all that I need

One witness (one witness)

One witness, just someone to see

One witness to all that's been done

One witness whose eyes will not run

Just someone to shout

In this big empty house

One witness to mourn for our love

Ten women (ten women)

Ten women between you and me

Ten women (ten women)

Ten women, the glory, the tragedy

Ten women to trust and betray

Ten women, I want you the same

It will be like it's been

If you come home again

Those ten women have all gone away
