Don't Swallow the Cap - Live at Berkeley 9/24/18

Lyrics

Gold light breaks behind the houses
 I don't see what's strange about this
 Tiny bubbles hang above me
 It's a sign that someone loves me
 I can hardly stand upright
 Hit my head up on the light
 I have faith but don't believe it
 It's not there enough to leave it
 Everything I love is on the table
 Everything I love is out to sea
 I have only two emotions
 Careful fear and dead devotion
 I can't get the balance right
 With all my marbles in the fight
 I see all the ones I wept for
 All the things I had it in for
 I won't cry until I hear
 Cause I was not supposed to be here
 Everything I love is on the table
 Everything I love is out to sea
 I'm not alone
 I'll never be
 And to the bone
 I'm evergreen
 I'm tired, I'm freezing, I'm dumb
 When it gets so late I forget everyone
 I need somewhere to stay
 Don't think anybody I know is awake
 Calm down, it's alright
 Keep my arms the rest of the night
 When they ask what do I see
 I say "a bright white beautiful heaven hanging over me"
 I'm not alone
 I'll never be
 And to the bone
 I'm evergreen
 And if you want (dead seriously)
 To see me cry (don't swallow the cap)
 Play "Let It Be" (pat yourself on the back)
 Or "Nevermind" (dead seriously)
 Is it time to leave? Is it time to think about...
 What I wanna say to the girls at the door
 I need somewhere to be
 But I can't get around the river in front of me
 Calm down, it's alright
 Lead my arms the rest of the night
 When they ask what do I see
 I say "a bright white beautiful heaven hanging over me"
 I'm not alone (dead seriously)
 I'll never be (don't swallow the cap)
 And to the bone (pat yourself on the back)
 I'm evergreen (dead seriously)
 And if you want (dead seriously)
 To see me cry (don't swallow the cap)
 Play "Let It Be" (pat yourself on the back)
 Or "Nevermind" (dead seriously)
