Counting Sheep

CONOR OBERST · Ruminations 2016 · Track 04 of 10

Written by Conor Oberst

Closing my eyes, counting sheep Gun in my mouth, trying to sleep Everything ends, everything has to Get well balloon, going insane Weight of the world, papier-móché Gone with the wind, out into nothing

I'm just trying to be easy, agreeable I don't want to seem needy to anyone, including you

[?] drowned in a pool Nearly got killed walking to school Hope it was slow, hope it was painful Life is a gas, what can you do? Catheter piss, fed through a tube A cyst in the brain, blood on the bamboo Highway to hell's littered with signs Everything last thing they advertise I want to buy, I want to sell too

But I don't want to seem greedy, I'm generous I'm just trying to be pleasing to everyone, including you

Tomorrow is shining like a razor blade And anything's possible if you feel the same

Early to bed, early to rise Acting my age, waiting to die Insulin shots, alkaline produce Temperature's cool, blood pressure's fine One twenty-one over seventy-five Scream if you want, no one can hear you

I just want to be easy, acceptable I don't want to seem needy to anyone, especially you

Especially you Especially you
