Afterthought - Conor Oberst[00:00:00]

Written by：Conor Oberst[00:00:00]

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

The one with the hammer and sickle design[00:00:04]

Threw up all the pills my doctor prescribed[00:00:08]

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

The streets were so crowded[00:00:17]

With billboards and signs[00:00:19]

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[00:00:38]

We get what we want[00:00:40]

No matter how hard or long we have fought[00:00:43]

Oh my happiness is a mere after thought[00:00:47]

When I'm with her I keep it in mind[00:00:51]

Then she leaves and I've run out of time[00:00:55]

I sat down today[00:01:06]

In a high barber's chair[00:01:08]

To hear the town gossip and clean up my hair[00:01:11]

He said she was seen on the bus station stairs[00:01:15]

With her suitcase threatenin' to walk[00:01:20]

Not sure how true it was[00:01:24]

But I'll hazard a guess[00:01:26]

It's probably not more and it's probably not less[00:01:28]

If that college kid bookie was accepting bets[00:01:33]

The brackets would mostly be chalk[00:01:37]

Yeah it's safe to assume that she's lost[00:01:41]

But it isn't as though we get what we want[00:01:46]

No matter how hard or long we have fought[00:01:50]

Oh my happiness is a mere after thought[00:01:54]

When I'm with her I keep it in mind[00:01:59]

Then she's gone and I've run out of time[00:02:03]

I can't be concerned with the state that I'm in[00:02:15]

At the height of the scandal with vertigo spins[00:02:19]

Take every audition 'til I'm Errol Flynn[00:02:24]

And bring it to life off the page[00:02:28]

And I'll get up tomorrow still wearin' that tie[00:02:32]

The one with the skull and the 'cross bone designs[00:02:37]

If I'm asked if I miss her it's easy to lie[00:02:41]

In this world that's called more of the same[00:02:45]

Yeah I wouldn't feel proud or ashamed[00:02:50]

'Cuz it isn't as though we get what we want[00:02:54]

No matter how hard or long we have fought[00:02:59]

Oh my happiness is a mere after thought[00:03:03]

When I'm with her I keep it in mind[00:03:07]

Then she leaves[00:03:11]

And I've run out[00:03:14]

Of time[00:03:16]
