Mamah Borthwick (A Sketch) - Conor Oberst (康纳·奥博斯特)[00:00:01]
Written by:Conor Oberst[00:00:02]
Just because you got it[00:00:25]
You don't have to flaunt it[00:00:28]
With an endless dream of famous men[00:00:30]
Pretty as a portrait[00:00:38]
Looked like mamah borthwick[00:00:41]
On that shining brow of taliesin[00:00:43]
Someone might try and burn it down[00:00:51]
So you'll have to put the fire out[00:00:57]
Fortunes spent but that's irrelevant to build something[00:01:03]
That's sacred till the end[00:01:11]
It cost twenty dollars to visit fallingwater[00:01:28]
It's the perfect house where no one lives[00:01:33]
Maybe someone once did[00:01:40]
But they got evicted by a busload full of greedy tourists[00:01:44]
And it would take a time machine[00:01:54]
To fulfill all of my fantasies[00:02:00]
'Cause a hidden dream can be embarrassing[00:02:04]
And the only thing that's sacred till the end[00:02:12]
Every time I tempt fate[00:02:33]
There's a major earthquake[00:02:35]
Heard the people scream as the ceiling fell[00:02:38]
Every building damaged[00:02:45]
Only one left standing[00:02:48]
It was Frank Lloyd Wright's Imperial Hotel[00:02:50]
A rumination in my mind[00:02:59]
Winding like the ramp at the Guggenheim[00:03:04]
I'm not content[00:03:11]
But I'm feeling hesitant to build something[00:03:14]
That's sacred till the end[00:03:19]
