《Governor’s Ball》歌词

[00:00:00] Governor's Ball - Conor Oberst (康纳·奥博斯特)

[00:00:11] He came with his friends in a caravan

[00:00:16] To witness the Governor's Ball

[00:00:21] Sat by himself on a cool patch of grass

[00:00:26] While the rest stood like bricks in a wall

[00:00:32] The stage it looked like a vending machine

[00:00:37] The singer a black Barbie doll

[00:00:42] But it was well lit and well managed

[00:00:48] So no property would be damaged

[00:00:53] Until his boredom took full advantage

[00:00:58] Of it all

[00:01:04] Talked to a girl with Klonopin eyes

[00:01:09] Who said she had jewelry to sell

[00:01:15] First he said no thanks then he realized

[00:01:20] That he wasn't feeling that well

[00:01:25] And the turquoise she held

[00:01:27] Looked like pieces of sky

[00:01:31] And a garnet like teardrops from hell

[00:01:36] She offered him a necklace

[00:01:41] And he wanted to accept it

[00:01:46] But it would end up too expensive

[00:01:52] He could tell

[00:01:57] Then she said

[00:01:58] "Why not

[00:02:04] What have you got to lose to lose "

[00:02:29] When he never came back

[00:02:32] The curfew had passed

[00:02:35] His friends searched the fair grounds for clues

[00:02:40] But security guard with a maniacal laugh said

[00:02:45] "Its always the leader you lose"

[00:02:51] And he finally turned up

[00:02:53] In the broad light of day

[00:02:56] With a black eye as big as the moon

[00:03:01] They all asked him what had happened

[00:03:06] Was it real or imagined

[00:03:12] Why on earth had he abandon them so soon

[00:03:22] And he said

[00:03:24] "Why not I do what I've got to do

[00:03:38] And so should you"
