barbary coast (later) - conor oberst lyrics
there’s a dance hall there
where the sick folks go
like the olden days on the barbary coast
there’s a barefoot child playing in the rain
you can sell your wares even if they’re hard
in the great bazaar or the parking lot
cause it takes a while to know who to blame
i might have a taste cause the first one’s free
and the checkout girl’s got a thing for me
and they’re both as sweet as the day is the long
i don’t wanna feel stuck, baby
i just wanna get drunk before noon
i don’t mind my head when there’s room to dream
feel like paul gauguin painting breadfruit trees
in some far off place where i don’t belong
try to lose myself in the primitive
in yosemite like john muir did
but his eyes were blue and mine are red and raw
’cause the modern world is a sight to see
it’s a stimulant, it’s p-rnography
it takes all my will not to turn it off
i don’t want you to feel sad, baby
i take everything back, i swear i do
cause once all the friends i had
have used me up and left
i bet you hang around
i bet you’ll hang around awhile
