Well don’t stay mad
Just let some time pass
And in the morning you’ll wake feeling new
And if I don’t come back
I mean if I get sidetracked
Its only cause I wanted to

Well, I drug your ghost across the country, and we plotted out my death. 
In every city, memories would whisper: “Here is where you rest.”
I was determined in Chicago, but I dug my teeth into my knees, 
and I settled for a telephone and sang into your machine:
You are my sunshine, my only sunshine. 
You are my sunshine, my only sunshine.

“When The Curious Girl Realizes She Is Under Glass” - Bright Eyes

Tomorrow when I wake up I’m finding my brother 
And making him take me back down to the water. 
That lake where we sailed and we laughed with our father. 
I will not desert him. I will not desert him.

Bright Eyes - Classic Cars

I made a new cast of the death mask that is going to cover my face
I had to change the combination to the safe
Hide it all behind a wall, let people wait
And never trust a heart that is so bent it can’t break

Bright Eyes-June On The West Coast

I spent a day dreaming of dying in Mesa, Arizona
Where all the green of life had turned to ash
And I felt I was on fire, with the things I could have told you
I just assumed that you eventually would ask
And I wouldn’t have to bring up my so badly broken heart
And all those months I just wanted to sleep
And though spring, it did come slowly, I guess it did its part
My heart has thawed and continues to beat

Bright Eyes “We Are Nowhere And It’s Now”

I got no plans and too much time
I feel too restless to unwind
I’m always lost in thought
As I walk a block to my favourite neon sign
Where the waitress looks concerned
But she never says a word
Just turns the jukebox on 
And we hum along
And I smile back at her

Bright Eyes - “Four Winds”

Well I went back by rented Cadillac and company jet
Like a newly orphaned refugee retracing my steps
All the way to Cassadaga to commune with the dead
They said, “You’d better look alive”
And I was off to old Dakota where a genocide sleeps
In the Black Hills, the Badlands, the calloused East
I buried my ballast. I made my peace.

Train Under Water - Bright Eyes

But I sing glory from my lowest
And I will say peace to the people I meet
While the world waits for an explosion 
That instant of life
That wipes the slate clean
