《Gossamer Thin》歌词

[00:00:00] Gossamer Thin - Conor Oberst

[00:00:01] Written by：Conor Oberst

[00:00:16] Rings 'round his eyes

[00:00:17] Tracks down his arm

[00:00:19] His fans are confused and his friends are alarmed

[00:00:23] His wife doesn't talk

[00:00:25] Hates when he's gone

[00:00:27] Counts every skirt in his new entourage

[00:00:31] And they're all gossamer thin

[00:00:34] Left of the dial bohemians

[00:00:38] And they dance turnin' in style

[00:00:42] Twirl 'round the room curtsy and smile

[00:00:47] And they sit at his feet read poetry

[00:00:51] Swoon with each word he speaks

[00:01:03] She likes the new pope

[00:01:05] She's not scared of hell

[00:01:07] They meet once a week at a secret motel

[00:01:11] She kisses his neck she plays with his hair

[00:01:14] Her screams sound like pleasure her moans like despair

[00:01:18] And they're spread gossamer thin

[00:01:21] Pushed to the edge frayed at the ends

[00:01:26] And it's no business of mine

[00:01:29] They can love more than one at a time

[00:01:33] But they're pushing their luck

[00:01:36] Hard but they must

[00:01:38] Risk it all for love

[00:01:51] Now I walk around in some kind of altered state

[00:01:59] The drink in my hand is starting to shake

[00:02:07] I get used to it if it has to stay this way

[00:02:15] A new bunch of flowers I'll have to arrange

[00:02:30] I don't want to eat

[00:02:31] Or get out of bed

[00:02:33] Try to recall what the therapist said

[00:02:37] Ego and id

[00:02:39] The essential self

[00:02:41] You are who you are and you are someone else

[00:02:45] But I'm worn gossamer thin

[00:02:48] Like delicate arch carved by the wind

[00:02:52] There's a glass psyche at stake

[00:02:56] Throw me a brick see if it breaks

[00:03:01] 'Cause the mind and the brain aren't quite the same

[00:03:05] But they both want out of this place
