[00:00:00] Mamah Borthwick (A Sketch) - Conor Oberst

[00:00:02] Written by：Conor Oberst

[00:00:27] Just because you got it

[00:00:31] You don't have to flaunt it

[00:00:32] With an endless stream of famous men

[00:00:41] Pretty as a portrait

[00:00:44] Looked like mamah forthwith

[00:00:46] On that shining brow of Taliesin

[00:00:55] Someone might try and burn it down

[00:01:01] So you'll have to put the fire out

[00:01:07] Fortunes spent but that's irrelevant to build something

[00:01:16] That's sacred till the end

[00:01:34] It cost twenty dollars to visit falling water

[00:01:39] It's the perfect house where no one lives

[00:01:47] Maybe someone once did but they got evicted

[00:01:52] By a busload full of greedy tourists

[00:02:01] And it would take a time machine

[00:02:06] To fulfill all of my fantasies

[00:02:13] 'Cause a hidden dream can be embarrassing

[00:02:19] And the only thing that's sacred till the end

[00:02:39] Every time I tempt fate

[00:02:43] There's a major earthquake

[00:02:44] Heard the people scream as the ceiling fell

[00:02:53] Every building damaged

[00:02:56] Only one left standing

[00:02:58] It was frank lloyd wright's imperial hotel

[00:03:07] A rumination in my mind

[00:03:12] Winding like the ramp at the Guggenheim

[00:03:19] I'm not content

[00:03:22] But I'm feeling hesitant to build something

[00:03:28] That's sacred till the end
