[00:01.52]Conor Oberst - Eagle On A Pole
[00:17.49]Saw an eagle on a pole,
[00:22.60]I think it was an eagle.
[00:25.41]
[00:26.79]Watched its' shadow fly 'cross the cement.
[00:31.98]
[00:35.23]And I woke up in the snow,
[00:38.41]all the trees, and crowds, and people.
[00:43.21]
[00:44.02]No shirt, no shoes, no idea where they went.
[00:49.67]
[00:51.55]I followed the fenceline thin,
[00:54.74]back where the yard begins
[01:00.16]My woman, she stood crying like a man.
[01:06.46]
[01:10.33]Said, where have you been?
[01:12.58]
[01:14.70]Where have you been?
[01:17.95]I thought you said that all of that was done.
[01:23.37]
[01:25.94]El Cielo es azul,
[01:29.81]Just don't go telling anyone.
[01:33.90]
[01:38.89]Thought the kettle was a train.
[01:42.88]Thought that Monday was a doorframe.
[01:46.75]
[01:47.43]Tried so hard to finally settle down.
[01:52.55]
[01:55.36]Heard the fire pop and snap.
[01:59.23]Like a tack piano rag.
[02:02.72]
[02:03.72]I never could get used to happy sounds.
[02:10.08]
[02:11.14]Yeah, I hope the world's exposed.
[02:15.32]A cruel and elaborate hoax.
[02:19.69]It convinces me to walk without a cane.
[02:26.31]
[02:29.56]But what can you do?
[02:31.49]
[02:33.80]Child, what can you do?
[02:36.17]
[02:36.67]I always heard that what is done is done.
[02:41.79]
[02:44.60]El Cielo es azul,
[02:48.40]Just don't go telling anyone.
[02:52.36]
[03:14.01]The past don't ever quit.
[03:17.32]
[03:18.01]There's boxes in the attic.
[03:21.62]
[03:22.62]Baby shoes and taxidermy dream.
[03:28.00]
[03:30.55]While the ashes of the dead, like a dandelion head,
[03:38.48]explode and then are scattered by the breeze.
[03:46.34]We're such a long way back to all the fun that we had.
[03:54.14]
[03:55.41]When nothing ever seemed to bother me.
[04:01.95]
[04:04.58]But what can you do?
[04:06.39]
[04:07.01]Brother, what can you do?
[04:11.19]Sleep with the stars, and toil in the sun.
[04:16.93]
[04:19.73]El Cielo es azul,
[04:23.74]Just don't go telling anyone.
[04:26.92]
[04:27.79]El Cielo es azul,
[04:31.48]Just don't go telling anyone.
[04:37.09]
