Bright Eyes - Middleman Lyrics
I traveled though the atmosphere as a wall of feedback climbed
The pegs were gold, the band was old, they played in half time
Now every dream gets whittled down just like every fool gets wise
You will never reap of any seed deprived of sunlight
The gray areas are mine
The in-between, the absentee
Is a beautiful disguise
So I keep my footlights shining bright just like I keep my exits wide
'Cause I never know when it's time to go, it's too crowded now inside
The dead can hide beneath the ground and the birds can always fly
But the rest of us do what we must in constant compromise
So I have become the Middleman
The "I don't know," the "maybe so"
Is the only real reply
It is the only true reply

*"You will never reap on any seed deprived of sunlight."*
love how people put these pseudo disclaimers about not owning the material in the description... it's like "HI I DONT OWN ANY OF THIS STUFF I DON'T CLAIM TO OWN IT I'M JUST PIRATING IT AND PUTTING IT OUT THERE. I DON'T OWN THIS, I AM ADMITTING I DON'T OWN IT BUT STILL VIOLATING COPYRIGHT LAWS."
Love this damn song. One of his best
Amazing song. didn't he do this one with the mystic valley band first?
No. With me.
I had a dream about this song once.
sorry to come in from the ceiling and fingerbang you! I thought it was our secret
how do you even describe this feeling?
"I don't know"
thank you for this album!!!
sounds like it should be on the into the wild soundtrack. hahaha
this shit makes my soul ache.
Ah, but its a good ache.
+klkool1 every time
This is my new favorite song, only for the next four minutes...
+Flinch Fu Holy CRAP, It's my favorite song again...
@LvAzure
Try listening to the song? They're hardly difficult to hear.
I always think of Firefly/Serenity when I hear this song. Why hasn't anybody made a video using clips....?
i have no idea what that even means
I was prolly drinking. No offense.
lol no problem
ew...no.... dont relate conors brilliant music to that unoriginal trash
@Katia Strelnikov but you replied to something you don't understand. useful. hopefully after 3 years you stopped doing that.
does anybody know where i can find out what the spoken words are in the background? i haven't found it on any lyrics website.
LvAzure To me it sounds like things people said in the midst of the civil war. “Dog handlers, Field nurses, cookie cutters, c’mon guys, alligator.” Those are the words I deciphered. Don’t know why I think of the civil war. Maybe the fiddle and drums combined with”field nurses,” like they need medics.
now that you mention it... you cant take the sky from me.
Cassadaga is great.
your english teacher was John Mcentire?
my english teacher did percussion on this song
Makes me want to dance ^_^
But I have no idea how to dance...
Damn it.
more fiddle please... great album overall
Reminds me of Firefly
wow..i can relate to these lyrics emotions
First time hearing this one...i love it. Wow. <3333
I really like this song. I like the little folksy turn Bright Eyes took on in Cassadaga.
The bass clarinet in this is mint.
This is as close to country as I will love.
