Governor's Ball - Conor Oberst (康纳·奥博斯特)[00:00:00]
He came with his friends in a caravan[00:00:11]
To witness the Governor's Ball[00:00:16]
Sat by himself on a cool patch of grass[00:00:21]
While the rest stood like bricks in a wall[00:00:26]
The stage it looked like a vending machine[00:00:32]
The singer a black Barbie doll[00:00:37]
But it was well lit and well managed[00:00:42]
So no property would be damaged[00:00:48]
Until his boredom took full advantage[00:00:53]
Of it all[00:00:58]
Talked to a girl with Klonopin eyes[00:01:04]
Who said she had jewelry to sell[00:01:09]
First he said no thanks then he realized[00:01:15]
That he wasn't feeling that well[00:01:20]
And the turquoise she held[00:01:25]
Looked like pieces of sky[00:01:27]
And a garnet like teardrops from hell[00:01:31]
She offered him a necklace[00:01:36]
And he wanted to accept it[00:01:41]
But it would end up too expensive[00:01:46]
He could tell[00:01:52]
Then she said [00:01:57]
"Why not [00:01:58]
What have you got to lose to lose "[00:02:04]
When he never came back[00:02:29]
The curfew had passed[00:02:32]
His friends searched the fair grounds for clues[00:02:35]
But security guard with a maniacal laugh said [00:02:40]
"Its always the leader you lose"[00:02:45]
And he finally turned up[00:02:51]
In the broad light of day[00:02:53]
With a black eye as big as the moon[00:02:56]
They all asked him what had happened[00:03:01]
Was it real or imagined [00:03:06]
Why on earth had he abandon them so soon [00:03:12]
And he said [00:03:22]
"Why not I do what I've got to do [00:03:24]
And so should you"[00:03:38]
