Mamah Borthwick (A Sketch) - Conor Oberst[00:00:00]
Written by:Conor Oberst[00:00:02]
Just because you got it[00:00:27]
You don't have to flaunt it[00:00:31]
With an endless stream of famous men[00:00:32]
Pretty as a portrait[00:00:41]
Looked like mamah forthwith[00:00:44]
On that shining brow of Taliesin[00:00:46]
Someone might try and burn it down[00:00:55]
So you'll have to put the fire out[00:01:01]
Fortunes spent but that's irrelevant to build something[00:01:07]
That's sacred till the end[00:01:16]
It cost twenty dollars to visit falling water[00:01:34]
It's the perfect house where no one lives[00:01:39]
Maybe someone once did but they got evicted[00:01:47]
By a busload full of greedy tourists[00:01:52]
And it would take a time machine[00:02:01]
To fulfill all of my fantasies[00:02:06]
'Cause a hidden dream can be embarrassing[00:02:13]
And the only thing that's sacred till the end[00:02:19]
Every time I tempt fate[00:02:39]
There's a major earthquake[00:02:43]
Heard the people scream as the ceiling fell[00:02:44]
Every building damaged[00:02:53]
Only one left standing[00:02:56]
It was frank lloyd wright's imperial hotel[00:02:58]
A rumination in my mind[00:03:07]
Winding like the ramp at the Guggenheim[00:03:12]
I'm not content[00:03:19]
But I'm feeling hesitant to build something[00:03:22]
That's sacred till the end[00:03:28]
