Ester's Day Lyrics
jimmy was a fly
got sucked in by an actor
and wrapped in a cocoon
of skin-tight buffoonery
now here's the plan
scene from ester's day
of running backward courses
with a horse of different forces
lying wings of films
that never see the screen
couldn't bear to face their dreams
down and out
couldn't bear to shout it out
brought up on the road
a sparkle shiny diner
is the home for wayward minor
in a flying car that seems
to whisper in an ear
let's just go get out of here
down and out
couldn't bear to shout it out
down and out
couldn't bear to shout it out
got sucked in by an actor
and wrapped in a cocoon
of skin-tight buffoonery
now here's the plan
of running backward courses
with a horse of different forces
lying wings of films
that never see the screen
couldn't bear to face their dreams
couldn't bear to shout it out
a sparkle shiny diner
is the home for wayward minor
in a flying car that seems
to whisper in an ear
let's just go get out of here
couldn't bear to shout it out
couldn't bear to shout it out

pretty much just gbv's trademark nonsensical lyrics upon impossibly happy music! tinge of sadness, though.
It's about someone who missed out on fulfilling their dreams, and now they feel bad about it every day. Really sad song, my favorite on the record.
