《On My Way To Work》歌词

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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