Counting Sheep by the Sea by Conor Oberst
Album : Salutations
Released : March, 2017
Genre : Alternative Rock
Label : Nonesuch
Closing my eyes, counting the sheep
*** in my mouth, trying to sleep
Everything ends, everything has to
Get well balloons, going insane
Weight of the world, papier-mâché
Gone with the wind, out into nothing
I’m just trying to be easy, agreeable
I don’t want to seem needy to anyone, including you
Little Louise drowned in a pool
Billy got killed walking to school
Hope it was quick, hope it was peaceful
Life is a gas, what can you do?
Catheter ***, fed through a tube
Cyst in the brain, blood on the bamboo
Highway to hell’s littered with signs
Everything last thing they advertise
I want to buy, I want to sell too
But I don’t want to seem greedy, I’m generous
I’m just want to be pleasing to everyone, including you
Tomorrow is shining like a razor blade
And anything’s possible if you feel the same
Early to bed, early to rise
Acting my age, waiting to die
Insulin shots, alkaline produce
Temperature’s cool, blood pressure’s fine
One twenty-one over seventy-five
Scream if you want, no one can hear you
I just trying to be easy, acceptable
I don’t want to seem needy to anyone, especially you
Especially you
Especially you
Especially you
