"Rainbow Overpass" lyrics
Bright Eyes & Alex Orange Drink Lyrics
"Rainbow Overpass"
I'm so bored of these intrusive thoughts coming after me
Sick of my own voice screaming right beneath my teeth
That old familiar sound when my cellphone hits the ground
When that thing just doesn't sing, it's just some thing I drag around
And I can't be what you need me to be
Lately I can't sleep, just lay awake feeding on my feed
But I'm not shutting down
No, I'm not shutting down
But I'm not shutting down, I'm shutting up
So you won't hear me when I say, "Everything's okay"
I'll see you around
I just tune out the alarms when they're loud and warning me
All the holes in the mufflers, all the potholes in the street
When the rubber hits the road, I got nowhere to go
No GPS, anybody's guess if I'll ever get back home
And I can't be where you need me to be
'Cause I'm asleep at the wheel, probably
So, I'm not slowing down
No, I'm not slowing down
And I'm not slowing down, I'm speeding up
So you won't see my brake lights flash on that rainbow overpass
I'll see you around
I'll see you around
I'll see you around
Too precious for words
Three pigeons for one
Too precious for words, dammit

Little Moses drifts downstream in the Nile
A fumbling reply, an awkward rigid laugh
And I'm carried helpless by my floating basket raft
Your flavor...

However close we get sometimes
It's like we never met
But you and I, I think we can take it
All the good with the bad
Make something that no one else has but...
The Mountain Goats - "This Year" I broke free on a Saturday morning
I put the pedal to the floor
Headed north on Mills Avenue
And listened to the engine roar
My broken house behind me and good things ahead

Phoebe Bridgers - "Smoke Signals" I went with you up to
The place you grew up in
We spent a week in the cold
Just long enough to
"Walden" it with you
Any longer, it would have got old
Singing "Ace of Spades" when Lemmy died
But...
