On My Way To Work - Bright Eyes[00:00:00]

There's a car parked where the block begins[00:00:08]

And these people singing praises[00:00:22]

Say it's all because of him[00:00:26]

And there's a bird perched on a frayed wet wire[00:00:29]

And his voice sings out for a lover[00:00:36]

But it's covered by the choir[00:00:40]

Of voices reaching way beyond the rafters[00:00:43]

With devotion they perform these sacred tasks[00:00:48]

They cross themselves and offer up their checkbooks[00:00:52]

Slight suffering is not too much to ask[00:00:56]

Besides we all are making money[00:01:00]

And we're all f**king alone[00:01:02]

And we don't know what we're doing[00:01:05]

Maybe just buying us some hope[00:01:10]

Because we know that we are lonely[00:01:14]

Well yeah lonely that's for sure[00:01:17]

And the older ones are coughing[00:01:21]

Yeah the older ones they're dying[00:01:25]

Maybe we're all dying[00:01:29]

I pass a graveyard on my way to work[00:01:35]

Today I saw two dozen white roses[00:01:58]

On a fresh new mound of dirt[00:02:03]

And I wondered about the occupant[00:02:06]

When the darkness finally swallowed him[00:02:12]

Was he calm and content [00:02:17]

Or was he sweating in a struggle to keep breathing[00:02:19]

Ripping apart the sheets that dressed his bed[00:02:25]

Crying out loud for someone to help him[00:02:29]

Then collapsing on his back all pale and dead[00:02:33]

Maybe it's me who's this unstable[00:02:36]

Always obsessed about the end[00:02:39]

Why can't I let what happens happen[00:02:42]

And just enjoy the time I spend [00:02:45]

Oh how I wish it was that easy[00:02:49]

But when there is no point to anything[00:02:52]

You know it gets a bit confusing[00:02:57]

Why it is that I keep going[00:02:59]

Why is it that we keep going[00:03:02]
