Conor Oberst - Governor's Ball Lyrics
[Verse 1]He came with his friends, in a caravanTo witness the governor's ballSat by himself on a cool patch of grassWhile the rest stood like bricks in a wallThe stage it looked like a vending machineThe singer, a black barbie dollBut it was well light, and well managedSaid our property, would be damagedUntil his boredom, took full advantageOf it all[Verse 2]Talk to a girl, with klonopin eyesWho said she had jewelry to sellFirst he said no thanks, then he realizedThat he realized he wasn't feeling that wellAnd he took what she held looked like pieces of skyAnd a garnet like teardrops from hellShe offered, him a necklace, and he wanted to accept itBut it would end up, too expensive, he could tellThen she said:"Why not, what have you got, to lose, to lose"[Verse 3]When he never came back, and the curve you have pathedHis friends searched the fair grounds for cluesBut security guard the maniacal laughSaid its always the leader you loseAnd he finally turned up in the broad light of dayWith a black eye as big as the moonThey all asked him, what had happenedWas it real or, imaginedWhy on earth had, he abandon them so soonAnd he said:"Why not, I do what I've got, to do, its what you do"
