Band : Conor Oberst and The Mystic Valley Band
Song : Lenders In The Temple
Album : Conor Oberst
short delay the parrot blues,
little voices mimick you,
it's not so hard to make that sound,
so watch your back, the Ides of March,
March, cut your hair like Joan of Arc,
disguise your will, they'll find you out,
and when they do...
look out
--
there's money lenders inside the temple
the circus tiger's gonna break your heart
something so wild turned into paper
if I loved you, well that's my fault
--
a bitchin heat, the alpha male,
not something she'd ever tell,
except when she got deathly high,
and out it came like summer rain,
washed the cars and everything,
felt clean for just a little while
a telephone, we drunk dialed
--
the starving children they ain't got no mother
there's pink flamingos living in the mall
I'd give a fortune to your infomercial
if just somebody would just take my call
take my call,
take my call,
--
hello?
patterns in my mind now moving slow
sorrow all across the surface rolls
smoothing out the edges of the stone
the lights are out where'd everybody go?
hello?
--
erase yourself and you'll be free
mendola destroyed by the sea
all we are is colored sand
so pay to ride the ferris wheel
smile all that you can feel is gratitude for what has been
cuz it did not happen
--
there's money lenders inside the temple
the circus tiger's gonna break your heart
something so wild turned into paper
If you loved me, well that's your fault
there's money lenders inside the temple
this crystal city's gonna fall apart
when all their power turns into vapor,
If I loved you well that's my fault,
well that's my fault
well that's my fault

Enjoy :)
