Modest Mouse

Dashboard

Well, it would've been

Could've been worse than you would ever know

Oh, the dashboard melted

But we still have the radio

Oh, it should've been

Could've been worse than you would ever know

Well, you told me about nowhere

Well, it sounds like someplace I'd like to go

Oh, it could've been

Should've been worse than you would ever know

Well, the windshield was broken

But I love the fresh air ya know

(The dashboard melted, but we still have the radio)

Oh, it would've been

Could've been worse than you would ever know, oh!

(The dashboard melted, but we still have the radio)

Oh, we talked about nothing

Which was more than I wanted you to know-oh-oh-oh-oh

Now here we go!

Oh, it would've been

Could've been worse than it had even gone

Well, the car was on blocks, but I was already where I want

(It was impossible, we ran it good, we ran it good)

Why should we ever even ever really even get to know?

(It was impossible, we ran it good, we ran it good)

Oh, if the world don't like us

It'll shake us just like we were a co-oh-oh-oh-old

Now here we go!

Well, we scheme, and we scheme, but we always blow it

We've yet to crash, but we still might as well enjoy it

Standing at a light switch to each east and west horizon

Every dawn you're surprising

And the evening was consoling

Saying, "See, it wasn't quite as bad as"

Well, it would've been

Could've been worse than you would ever know

I was patiently erasing and recording the wrong episodes

After you had proved my point wrong

It wasn't like I'd let it go, oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh

I just wanted to catch the last laugh of this show

Yeah, it would've been

Could've been worse than you would ever know

Oh, the dashboard melted, but we still have the radio

(The dashboard melted, but we ran it good, we ran it good)

Hard-wired to conceive, so much we'd have to stow it

Even needs have needs, tiny giants made of tinier giants

Don't wear eyelids so I don't miss the last laugh of this show

(The dashboard melted, but we still have the radio)

Oh, we could've been

Should've been worse than you would ever know

(The dashboard melted, but we still have the radio)

Well, you told me about nowhere

Well, it sounds like someplace I'd like to go-oh-oh-oh-oh

Now here we go!

Well, we scheme, and we scheme, but we always blow it

We've yet to crash, but we still might as well enjoy it

Standing at a light switch to each east and west horizon

Every dawn you're surprising

And the evening was consoling

Saying, "See, it wasn't quite as bad as"

Oh, it would've been

Could've been worse than you would ever know
