Текст песни Barbary Coast (Later) - Conor Oberst

There′s a dancehall there
Where the sick folks go
Like the olden days on the Barbary Coast
There's a barefoot child playing in the rain
You can sell your wares even if they′re hot
In the great bizarre or the parking lot
Cause it takes a while to know who to blame
I might have a taste cause the first one's free
And the checkout girl's got a thing for me
And they′re both as sweet as the day is long
I don′t wanna feel stuck, baby
I just wanna get drunk before noon
I don't mind my head when there′s room to dream
Feel like Paul Gauguin painting breadfruit trees
In some far off place where I don't belong
Tried to lose myself in the primitive
In Yosemite like John Muir did
But his eyes were blue and mine are red and raw
′Cause the modern world is a sight to see
It's a stimulant, it′s pornography
It takes all my will not to turn it off
I don't want you to feel sad, baby
I take everything back, I swear I do
Cause once all the friends I had
Have used me up and left
I bet you hang around
I bet you'll hang around awhile
