Cape Canaveral Lyrics

Lyric discussion by Vball 

Cover art for Cape Canaveral lyrics by Conor Oberst

Saw the migrants smoke in the old orange grove And the red rocket blaze over Cape Canaveral You’ve been a father to me In 1960’s speak In the comatose joy that we’re on TV

Is actually:

And watch the migrants smoke in the old orange grove And the red rocket blaze over Cape Canaveral You’ve been a father to me In 1960’s speak Give me comatose joy that we’re on TV

You told me victory’s sweet Even deep in the cheap seats

is actually:

You taught me victory’s sweet Even deep in the cheap seats

Later in the song:

A lonely victory sweet is actually: You told me victory’s sweet

All these changes are going to fill your mind is actually: All these changes gunna fill your mind

It’s been a nightmare to me is actually: It’s been a nightmare for me

Saw the stars get smaller is actually: I watched the stars get smaller

Great song!!
