Spun Out

  • Out on the ledge, the worst temptation
    The great summation ensues
    The razor's edge, test my patience
    Retaliation, was it worth it at all?

    Number 9 on a cloud
    Seven rings looking down
    At the flames and the crowds
    Made my ears ring so loud
    Sorrow compounds
    Watch the news helicopters spin out

    Open the fridge
    My emancipation
    Proclamation
    French rose
    I'll make a wish
    I'm a kid with cancer
    I'm out to pasture
    It was spring for a day

    Twenty-one in a bar
    Just sixteen with a card
    Putting cracks in my heart
    Makes it all fall apart
    It was doomed from the start
    All the house and the strobe lights went dark

    I couldn't save you
    I can relate to
    Nabokov's virtue
    Or love's interchangeable parts Writer/s: Conor Oberst, Nathaniel Walcott
