《Afterthought》歌词

[00:00:00] Afterthought - Conor Oberst

[00:00:00] Written by：Conor Oberst

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

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

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

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

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

[00:00:19] With billboards and signs

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

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

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

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

[00:00:38] But it isn't as though

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

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

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

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

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

[00:01:06] I sat down today

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

[00:03:11] Then she leaves

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

[00:03:16] Of time
