Desert Island Questionnaire - Conor Oberst (康纳·奥博斯特)[00:00:00]
Say that you were stranded on a desert island[00:00:08]
What books you gonna bring [00:00:13]
What friends would tag along [00:00:15]
Say you had a month you knew you were dying[00:00:21]
How'd you spend your time [00:00:25]
What goodbyes would take too long [00:00:27]
You don't like this game and you take exception[00:00:34]
Who wants all this trouble even hypothetical[00:00:39]
With the charging sky above[00:00:46]
And the ground below that could swallow everyone[00:00:50]
Staring at your phone at another party[00:01:04]
Spent a lot on clothes[00:01:08]
Got a lot of skin to show[00:01:10]
People in the pool like a drowning army[00:01:17]
Smoke along the moats[00:01:21]
And the hotel lobby glows[00:01:23]
Wish that you could dance but you got no partner[00:01:30]
Keep tapping on your glass[00:01:34]
Cause you wanna make a toast[00:01:35]
To the ennui of our times[00:01:42]
To the selfishness in everyone you know[00:01:46]
Made a lot of friends but they can't be trusted[00:01:55]
Don't know what their angle is[00:01:59]
Post up at the bar and I'm double-fisting[00:02:04]
Talking to a mannequin[00:02:08]
Don't know what it means when he takes my pulse[00:02:12]
And says that I'm a lot like him[00:02:16]
I say that's fair enough[00:02:21]
That's why I'm trying to loosen up[00:02:24]
Every lunatic must be well-intentioned[00:02:38]
Sets himself apart[00:02:42]
He's an instrument of God[00:02:44]
He took her from the playground[00:02:51]
To the farmhouse cellar[00:02:53]
Kissed her while he killed her[00:02:55]
Like a good Samaritan[00:02:57]
They finally found her body many autumns after[00:03:03]
Interviewed her mother [00:03:08]
Said she'd now be twenty-one[00:03:10]
And although we lost her young[00:03:16]
I know the good lord has a plan for all of us[00:03:20]
Mormons at the door they look clean and handsome[00:03:29]
Always have a good sales pitch[00:03:33]
Your little sister swears she can read my aura[00:03:37]
But I can't take her serious[00:03:41]
Need something to blame for this human nature[00:03:46]
Is that what this condition is [00:03:50]
I'm so bored with my life[00:03:55]
But I'm still afraid to die[00:03:59]
Everyone's asleep in this burning building[00:04:03]
And I can't wake them up in time[00:04:07]
You go on ahead I'll be right behind you[00:04:12]
We're headed to the finish line[00:04:16]
I can't get closer[00:04:20]
Until this is over[00:04:24]
Pretend that you were stranded on a desert island[00:04:37]
What would be the message[00:04:42]
That you'd spell out for the plane [00:04:43]
Say the engine failed when that plane was flying[00:04:50]
If you were the pilot [00:04:55]
Would you curse or would you pray [00:04:56]
No one's gonna cry at this John Doe funeral[00:05:03]
Not a lot to say didn't even have a name[00:05:07]
Light a candle just in case he was someone's friend[00:05:15]
Throw some flowers on the grave[00:05:22]
