Conor Oberst and The Mystic Valley Band - Milk Thistle lyrics

[Verse 1] Milk thistle, milk thistle Let me down slow Help me go slow I've been carryin' on I'm not scared of nothin' I'll go pound for pound I keep d**h on my mind Like a heavy crown If I go to heaven I'll be bored as hell Like a little baby At the bottom of a well [Verse 2] Fairchild, fairchild How are you, man Did you fix that storefront Did you start that band Don't be scared of nothin' You go pound for pound You'll bring peace to midnight Like a spotted owl I'll be rootin' for you Like my favorite team If somebody sweats you You just point 'em out to me [Chorus] All the sights and sounds This little world's too crowded now And there's only one way out An elevator ride Through the tunnel towards the light And I'm nowhere bound Keep going up and down Up and down [Verse 3] Newspaper, newspaper Can't take no more You're here every morning Waitin' at my door And I'm just tryin' to kiss you And you stab my eyes Make me blue forever Like an island sky And I'm not pretending That it's all okay Just let me have my coffee Before you take away the day [Verse 4] Lazarus, Lazarus Why all the tears Did your faithful chauffer just disappear What a lonesome feeling To be waitin' around Like some washed-up actress In a tinsel town But for the record I'd come pick you up We'll head for the ocean Just say when you've had enogh [Chorus] All the light and sound This little world's too fragile now And there's only one way out But if you let me slide I'll do my best to make things right And I know where bound Just going up and down Up and down [Verse 5] Milk thistle, milk thistle Let me down slow Just help me go slow I've been hurrin' on I was poised for greatness I was down and out I keep d**h at my heels Like a ba**et hound If I go to heaven I'll be bored as hell Like a crying baby at the bottom of a well
