Conor Oberst - Enola Gay Lyrics
He didn't give you that nickname
But you smile when he calls you Enola Gay
Turns the lights down low for your migraines
And fetches what you've strewn
Asking for your sodium pentothal
So that you can read aloud from your big tell-all
Anecdotes in platitudes
This world's mean getting meaner too
So why you do have to make it all about you?
There is no harm in stepping to the side
Light your hurricane lamp when the sky goes dark
The wind is pissed off and the sun is at large
It's just a matter of pride
Till you vanish like the rest
Out of sight and out of mind
Working all day in the control room
Mashing Charles Manson songs up with show tunes
The feelings come quick but they leave as soon
Like music from a passing car
It's crowded in the club where you meet your friends
Trying to save some room for the elephant
Every day is a chore and you're not done yet
You didn't think it would be this hard
The run's begun and we're a nervous crew
So why you trying to make it all about you?
It's not so bad, it's just a flash of light
Light your hurricane lamp when the sky goes dark
The rain is upset it just falls apart
You will get your wish it's just a matter of time
Till you vanish like the rest
Out of sight and out of mind
Till you vanish like the rest
Out of sight
