Soul Singer In A Session Band - Bright Eyes[00:00:00]
See the soul singer in the session band[00:00:22]
Shredded to ribbons beneath a microphone stand[00:00:28]
Felt the quickness of pity[00:00:32]
Like a flash in a pan[00:00:35]
For the soul singer in the session band[00:00:37]
A red carpet bagger makes a blackberry call[00:00:45]
To the plastic piranhas in the city of salt[00:00:50]
Wasted wheat paste campaign [00:00:54]
Post no bills on the wall[00:00:57]
You mean nothing to no one[00:00:59]
But that's nobody's fault[00:01:01]
See the soul singer in the session band[00:01:07]
Shredded to ribbons beneath a microphone stand[00:01:13]
Felt the quickness of pity[00:01:17]
Like a flash in a pan[00:01:19]
For the soul singer in the session band[00:01:21]
I had a lengthy discussion[00:01:30]
About the power of myth[00:01:32]
With a post-modern author who didn't exist[00:01:34]
In this fictitious world [00:01:39]
All reality twists[00:01:41]
I was a hopeless romantic [00:01:43]
Now I'm just turning tricks[00:01:46]
Just like that soul singer[00:01:51]
In the session band[00:01:54]
Shredded confetti beneath a microphone stand[00:01:57]
Saw the conflict of interest slipping[00:02:01]
Cash in the hand[00:02:04]
Of the soul singer in the session band[00:02:06]
Now his room is on fire since he painted it red[00:02:14]
There are a stranger's silk sequins[00:02:18]
At the foot of the bed[00:02:21]
He's been to weddings and funerals[00:02:23]
But he still never wept[00:02:25]
Now sorrow is pleasure when you want it instead[00:02:27]
Just like that soul singer in the session band[00:02:35]
Wailed like an infant atop a white baby grand[00:02:41]
We'll need every sandbag and every man[00:02:45]
To save the soul singer in the session band[00:02:49]
Headlights or taillights [00:03:17]
It's a flip of a coin[00:03:22]
I've been coming and going[00:03:24]
Since the day I was born[00:03:26]
And I followed the breadcrumbs[00:03:28]
But I never got home[00:03:31]
I grew old in an instant [00:03:33]
Now I am all on my own[00:03:36]
See the soul singer in the session band[00:03:41]
Shredded to nothing beneath[00:03:46]
The microphone stand[00:03:49]
Saw the wave of the future[00:03:51]
Through the crack in the dam[00:03:53]
Drowned the soul singer in the session band[00:03:55]
Bless the soul singer in the session band[00:04:00]
