Helplessness Blues - Fleet Foxes[00:00:01]
I was raised up believing[00:00:14]
I was somehow unique[00:00:18]
Like a snowflake distinct among snowflakes[00:00:22]
Unique in each way you can see[00:00:27]
And now after some thinking[00:00:29]
I'd say I'd rather be[00:00:33]
A functioning cog in some great machinery[00:00:38]
Serving something beyond me[00:00:42]
But I don't, I don't know what that will be[00:00:45]
I'll get back to you someday soon you will see[00:00:53]
What's my name, what's my station[00:01:07]
Oh just tell me what I should do[00:01:10]
I don't need to be kind to the armies of night[00:01:14]
That would do such injustice to you[00:01:19]
Or bow down and be grateful[00:01:22]
And say "Sure take all that you see"[00:01:26]
To the men who move only in dimly-lit halls[00:01:30]
And determine my future for me[00:01:35]
And I don't, I don't know who to believe[00:01:38]
I'll get back to you someday soon you will see[00:01:46]
If I know only one thing[00:02:00]
It's that every thing that I see[00:02:04]
Of the world outside is so inconceivable[00:02:08]
Often I barely can speak[00:02:13]
Yeah I'm tongue tied and dizzy[00:02:16]
And I can't keep it to myself[00:02:20]
What good is it to sing helplessness blues?[00:02:23]
Why should I wait for anyone else?[00:02:28]
And I know, I know you will keep me on the shelf[00:02:32]
I'll come back to you someday soon myself[00:02:39]
If I had an orchard[00:03:03]
I'd work till I'm raw[00:03:10]
If i had an orchard[00:03:18]
I'd work till I'm sore[00:03:21]
And you would wait tables[00:03:28]
And soon run the store[00:03:31]
Gold hair in the sunlight[00:03:38]
My light in the dawn[00:03:45]
If I had an orchard[00:03:53]
I'd work till I'm sore[00:03:56]
If I had an orchard[00:04:03]
I'd work till I'm sore[00:04:06]
Someday I'll be[00:04:38]
Like the man on the screen[00:04:40]
