《Next of Kin》歌词

[00:00:01] Next Of Kin - Conor Oberst

[00:00:14] I saw a crash on the interstate

[00:00:17] It left a feeling I could not shake

[00:00:21] Just a name in a database

[00:00:24] Who must be notified

[00:00:28] It's not a phone call I want to make

[00:00:31] A stranger answers I hesitate

[00:00:35] Got some bad news that couldn't wait

[00:00:39] Are you sitting down?

[00:00:42] Her bathrobe hangs on the bedroom door

[00:00:46] Though she's been dead for a year or more

[00:00:49] He buried her by the sycamore

[00:00:52] So that he could keep her close

[00:00:57] It broke his heart and it made him old

[00:01:00] Tries to rebuild but it just erode

[00:01:04] People say that's the way it goes

[00:01:08] But he don't feel that way

[00:01:26] Get too drunk and you can't perform

[00:01:29] Something dies when a star is born

[00:01:33] I spread my anger like Agent Orange

[00:01:36] I was indiscriminate... yeah

[00:01:41] I met Lou Reed and Patti Smith

[00:01:44] It didn't make me feel different

[00:01:47] I guess I lost all my innocence

[00:01:51] Way too long ago

[00:02:09] She called my bluff and she won the fight

[00:02:13] I ran outside in the hot twilight

[00:02:17] I had a lighter that didn't light

[00:02:19] Though I know I shouldn't smoke

[00:02:24] I was gone, I was free to leave

[00:02:28] Walking fast down The Bowery

[00:02:32] Tears in my eyes so I couldn't see

[00:02:34] But I made my way back home
