Conor Oberst - Hundreds Of Ways Lyrics
What a thing to be a witness to the sunshineWhat a dream to just be walking on the groundWhat a time to live among the ash and remnants of our loveThat came before and I’m still looking for that nowIt took centuries to build these twisted citiesIt took seconds to reduce them down to dustAnd all the tour guide could say was take your pictures folks it’s lateAnd try your best please to remember what was doneDon’t look so forlornDon’t you look so scaredDon’t get so upsetThis world was never fairBut there are hundreds of waysTo get through the dayThere are hundreds of waysNow you just find oneI used to think that time was of the essenceNow I just wish I could get some sleepAll this strange parade of soundsThe city makes when I lie downLittle explosions that set fire to my dreamsSometimes I get mistaken for this actorAnd I guess that I can see it from the sideMaybe no one really seems to beThe person that they mean to beI hope I am forgotten when I dieDon’t contradict meDon’t make me cross the lineIf you feel threatenedIt’s only because I mightBut there are hundreds of waysTo get through the dayBut there are hundreds of waysTo get through the dayYes there are hundreds of waysSo you best find oneAll my heroes they’re all talkRunning in circlesSome stop, watch, some chaosLove was the message, full stopWe ramble on and onWe ramble on and onHey!I stole all the rhinestones out of CarolinaSold them out in Bakersfield for cashNow the bandshell had a bandSound like an arcade in JapanBlew all my quarters trying to get that feeling backNow any sucker can turn boredom into violenceA sociopath riding on a busAnd his irises are black from his novelty contactsHe looks around but he can’t see the rest of usIn my sunglassesDon’t mind the blinding lightYeah it’s getting dark, broBut I've always loved the nightBut there are hundreds of waysTo get through the dayThere are hundreds of waysTo get through the dayThere are hundreds of waysTo get through the dayThere are hundreds of waysTo get through the dayThere are hundreds and hundreds and hundreds of waysTo get through the dayJust find one
