Dylan Thomas Lyrics
It was quite early one morning
Hit me without warning
I went to hear the general speak
I was standing for the anthem
Banners all around him
Confetti made it hard to see
Put my footsteps on the pavement
Starved for entertainment
Four seasons of revolving doors
So sick of being honest
I'll die like Dylan Thomas
A seizure on the barroom floor
I'm getting greedy with this private hell
I'll go it alone, but that's just as well
These cats are scared and feral
The flag pins on their lapels
The truth is anybody's guess
These talking heads are saying
"The king is only playing a game of four dimensional chess"
There's flowers in the rubble
The weeds are gonna tumble
I'm lucid but I still can't think
I'm strapped into a corset
Climbed into your corvette
I'm thirsty for another drink
If it's advertised, we'll try it
And buy some peace and quiet
And shut up at the silent retreat
They say you've gotta fake it
At least until you make it
That ghost is just a kid in a sheet
I'm getting used to these dizzy spells
I'm taking a shower at the Bates Motel
I'm getting greedy with this private hell
I'll go it alone, but that's just as well
Hit me without warning
I went to hear the general speak
I was standing for the anthem
Banners all around him
Confetti made it hard to see
Starved for entertainment
Four seasons of revolving doors
So sick of being honest
I'll die like Dylan Thomas
A seizure on the barroom floor
I'll go it alone, but that's just as well
The flag pins on their lapels
The truth is anybody's guess
These talking heads are saying
"The king is only playing a game of four dimensional chess"
The weeds are gonna tumble
I'm lucid but I still can't think
I'm strapped into a corset
Climbed into your corvette
I'm thirsty for another drink
And buy some peace and quiet
And shut up at the silent retreat
They say you've gotta fake it
At least until you make it
That ghost is just a kid in a sheet
I'm taking a shower at the Bates Motel
I'm getting greedy with this private hell
I'll go it alone, but that's just as well

wow. Poor Caitlin. Rage against the dark.
The lines of lyrics are lovely. Phoebe Bridgers the brighter eyes of a twenty ten foreseer looking back at other Rhymers past. A rhythm that only Connor could bring to so simplify such a complex rhyme. The genius of the song is the simple tough to rhyme lyrics. But where mostly rhyme matters. The song feels like connors but the gravitas is all phoebe’s and to be honest her peak songwriting ability is as high as Connor’s even if she’s young. She’s another in a grouping of early twenty something female songwriters, who can outwrite anyone on the planet. Dylan Thomas was a killer welsh but listen to car seat headrest. It doesn’t have to be this way I’m a drunk typer, killer whales. Conor oberst, bright eyes, phoebe bridgers, boygenius, I referenced car seat headrest. She’ll games by bright eyes is amazing but all these groups are gold. Car seat headrest are the bright eyes of the 2020’s
