Cover art for Approximate Sunlight lyrics by Bright Eyes

I used to dream of time machines Now it’s been said we’re post-everything As a child imagining Neck ties and Coast lines I seen the show man, what a sight Drenched us in approximated sunlight The crowd was small and mostly blind But kind, you’re too kind

Now you are how you were when you were real Now you are how you were when you were real

There you go again on that circular trip Lick the solar plexus of some L.A. shaman I’m out of breath I’d better sit Been living, hard living

All I do is follow you around

I wouldn’t waste another thought On what is fair and what is not The quinceañera dress she bought Was unstitched with bullets All the guests in the garden screamed Women and tires squealing Such opulence, such misery Unwinding, unwinding

All I do is follow you around All I do is follow you around

Now you are how you were when you were real
