Afterthought - Conor Oberst[00:00:00]

Written by：Conor Oberst[00:00:00]

I woke up this mornin' still wearin' that tie[00:00:01]

The one with the hammer and sickle design[00:00:05]

Threw up all the pills my doctor prescribed[00:00:09]

And went out to fetch me some air[00:00:13]

The streets were so crowded with billboards and signs[00:00:18]

Food trucks double parked in their parallel lines[00:00:21]

I thought about breakfast but settled on wine[00:00:25]

Always choose hunger over despair[00:00:30]

And what's possible over what's there[00:00:34]

But it isn't as though we get what we want[00:00:38]

No matter how hard or long we have fought[00:00:42]

Oh my happiness is a mere afterthought[00:00:46]

When I'm with her I keep it in mind[00:00:50]

Then she leaves and I've run out of time[00:00:54]

I sat down today in a high barber's chair[00:01:05]

To hear the town gossip and clean up my hair[00:01:09]

He said she was seen on the bus station stairs[00:01:13]

With her suitcase threatenin' to walk[00:01:17]

Not sure how true it was but I'll hazard a guess[00:01:21]

It's probably not more and it's probably not less[00:01:26]

If that college kid bookie was accepting bets[00:01:30]

The brackets would mostly be chalk[00:01:34]

Yeah it's safe to assume that she's lost[00:01:38]

But it isn't as though we get what we want[00:01:42]

No matter how hard or long we have fought[00:01:46]

Oh my happiness is a mere afterthought[00:01:51]

When I'm with her I keep it in mind[00:01:55]

Then she's gone and I've run out of time[00:01:59]

I can't be concerned with the state that I'm in[00:02:12]

At the height of the scandal with vertigo spins[00:02:16]

Take every audition til I'm Errol Flynn[00:02:20]

And bring it to life off the page[00:02:24]

And I'll get up tomorrow still wearin' that tie[00:02:28]

The one with the skull and the cross bone designs[00:02:32]

If I'm asked if I miss her it's easy to lie[00:02:37]

In this world that's called more of the same[00:02:41]

Yeah I wouldn't feel proud or ashamed[00:02:45]

Cuz it isn't as though we get what we want[00:02:49]

No matter how hard or long we have fought[00:02:53]

Oh my happiness is a mere afterthought[00:02:57]

When I'm with her I keep it in mind[00:03:01]

Then she leaves and I've run out of time[00:03:06]
