Karat Diamond Lyrics
My seratonin's rationed, I'm coughing
I kind of caught the blues
But you won't catch me complaining
To the super or the news
Because the carrot's going to dangle
Until the diamond is appraised
And all that talk made me feel rich, baby
But tell me, who is going to pay
For braces to make straight
All that Colgate keep my white tooth innocence
My smile is in sad shape
All the dead weight I got tired of carrying
It's got me looking for a friend
Or a crutch I can depend on
There's endless entertainment
Thinking the world is going to end
I've lived some nights convinced of it
But I keep waking up again
With my girl wrapped around my body
And a towel wrapped around my head
She said, "You passed out in the bathtub, angel
I thought that you were dead"
Don't die on me, don't tread on me
My love, my love is not the enemy
You don't have to be no one's biography
Yeah, they try to write you down and hope you go crazy
So don't, so don't, don't fall for that Christ bait
It's about as passe as rockstar arrogance
Tomorrow's a new day but it's that same face
And you'll be wearing it
Now you don't have to be content
But you do have to get on with it
I kind of caught the blues
But you won't catch me complaining
To the super or the news
Because the carrot's going to dangle
Until the diamond is appraised
And all that talk made me feel rich, baby
But tell me, who is going to pay
For braces to make straight
All that Colgate keep my white tooth innocence
My smile is in sad shape
All the dead weight I got tired of carrying
It's got me looking for a friend
Or a crutch I can depend on
Thinking the world is going to end
I've lived some nights convinced of it
But I keep waking up again
With my girl wrapped around my body
And a towel wrapped around my head
She said, "You passed out in the bathtub, angel
I thought that you were dead"
My love, my love is not the enemy
You don't have to be no one's biography
Yeah, they try to write you down and hope you go crazy
It's about as passe as rockstar arrogance
Tomorrow's a new day but it's that same face
And you'll be wearing it
Now you don't have to be content
But you do have to get on with it

I think I heard somewhere that this one is called Karat/Diamond/Jump Off.
Where is this song from? I like the lyrics, but its the first I've heard of it. I'm guessing its something new he has preformed live....?
It was live on NPR, the 9:30 place one. You can download it at: http://www.engr.colostate.edu/~anielsen/npr.html
there's a missing word: "There's endless entertainment IN thinking the world is gonna end."
he played this in columbus when i saw them a few weeks ago...he sais, "this next song is called Bone Conductor laughs...that's not really the name.." but then he never told us the real name, so ive been watching for it on here. this is definitely it.
Cant wait to hear this.. 8 days, gah. too exciting.
edit : "... to the super or the MOON"
just so ya know.
anyone knows what he says after "so don't" each time? (i've got the npr version)
if any of you have not heard it yet you can check it out here http://www.myspace.com/oberstconor it has Karat Diamond, I Must Belong Somewhere and Sunshine
I've been seeing this song called Endless Entertainment a lot lately as well..
