Gossamer Thin (轻薄) - Conor Oberst (康纳·奥博斯特)[00:00:00]
Written by:Conor Oberst[00:00:00]
Rings 'round his eyes[00:00:08]
Tracks down his arm[00:00:10]
His fans are confused and his friends are alarmed[00:00:12]
His wife doesn't talk[00:00:16]
Hates when he's gone[00:00:18]
Counts every skirt in his new entourage[00:00:20]
And they're all gossamer thin[00:00:24]
Left of the dial bohemians[00:00:28]
And they dance turnin' in style[00:00:33]
Twirl 'round the room curtsy and smile[00:00:36]
And they sit at his feet read poetry[00:00:41]
Swoon with each word he speaks[00:00:45]
She likes the new pope[00:00:58]
She's not scared of hell[00:01:00]
They meet once a week at a secret motel[00:01:02]
She kisses his neck she plays with his hair[00:01:06]
Her screams sound like pleasure her moans like despair[00:01:10]
And they're spread gossamer thin[00:01:14]
Pushed to the edge frayed at the ends[00:01:17]
And it's no business of mine[00:01:22]
They can love more than one at a time[00:01:26]
But they're pushing their luck[00:01:31]
Hard but they must[00:01:33]
Risk it all for love[00:01:35]
Now I walk around in some kind of altered state[00:01:48]
The drink in my hand is starting to shake[00:01:57]
I get used to it if it has to stay this way[00:02:05]
A new bunch of flowers I'll have to arrange[00:02:14]
I don't want to eat or get out of bed[00:02:29]
Try to recall what the therapist said[00:02:33]
Ego and id the essential self[00:02:37]
You are who you are and you are someone else[00:02:41]
But I'm worn gossamer thin[00:02:45]
Like delicate arch carved by the wind[00:02:49]
There's a glass psyche at stake[00:02:54]
Throw me a brick see if it breaks[00:02:57]
'Cause the mind and the brain aren't quite the same[00:03:02]
But they both want out of this place[00:03:07]
