CONOR OBERST lyrics : "CAPE CANAVERAL"

Oh, oh, oh brother totem pole
I saw your legends lined up
And I never felt more natural

Apart, I just came apart

Please, please, please sister Socrates

You always answer with a question
Show some kindness to a petty thief
Forgive, you did forgive


Watch the migrants smoke in the old orange grove
And the red rocket blaze over Cape Canaveral

You've been a father to me
In 1960's speak
In the comatose joy that we're on TV

While the mountain's side was shining
Wild colors of my destiny


I watched your face age backwards
Changing shape in my memory
You told me victory's sweet

Even deep in the cheap seats

Hey, hey, hey mother interstate

Can you deliver me from evil
Make me honest make me wedding cake
Atone, I will atone


Wait, wait, wait mighty outer-space
All that flying saucer terror

Made me lazy drinking lemonade
A waste, it just went to waste


Like the Freon cold out the hotel door
Or the white rocket fade over Cape Canaveral
You've been a daughter to me

Your buried shoe-box grief
I felt your poltergeist love like savannah heat
While the waterfall was pouring

Crazy symbols of my destiny

I watched your face die backwards

Little baby in my memory
You told me victory's sweet
Even deep in the cheap seats


And you don't judge me
That's not your style

But I won't see you for a little while
And there's no worries
Whose got time

All these changes are going to fill your mind

Like the citrus glow off the old orange grove

Or the red rocket blaze over Cape Canaveral
It's been a nightmare to me
Some 1980's grief

Gives me parachute dreams
Like old war movies
While the universe was drawn

Perfect circles form infinity

I watched the stars get smaller

Tiny diamonds in my memory
I know that victory is sweet
Even deep in the cheap seats
