Smoke Signals - Conor Oberst

Back


Last December Conor Oberst played in the 400 Club in Minneapolis, solo, and this is was one of the songs. It's great one, and one of my favorites. Here are the Lyrics : I was lost for a while in the mirrored hallway of a high-rise hotel Umbrella drink in my hand, sitting down Saw ten thousand me's with cocaine teeth and the chattering man Thought about home Thought about death Thought about moving south Rodeo wind blew in out the candles And now everyone's scared Call my broker sell everything I want to be prepared Heard the cavalry cry My girl for the night when I entered her Sounds so fake, always feels fake Finishes and then it feels worst But any hallway has a camera Every hallway has a camera Don't you know? They never let you open the window Smoke signals of thought White ribbons of loss High above the tree line They cry out I froze up for a second on the pyramid side of the Las Vegas strip My brother hunched over in the bushes, getting sick Security knew he took one look and through us out, Life's not fair Thought I die young with my true love Thought I'd be a millionaire In a mechanical world A loud sound you never heard is always there Radio's trailing in the desert Keep driving until you disappear We made a gentlemen's pact We're not stopping no looking back, Lace those shoes Take the first step, take the next step "That a boy!" It's never too soon All that you keep is the journey All that you keep are the spaces in-between It's not the first start of the ending All that you keep is the journey Smoke rings around your thoughts Blue ribbons at dawn High above the tree line We pass out Smoke signals of thought White ribbons of loss High above the tree line They cry out
