Counting Sheep Lyrics - Conor Oberst

Closing my eyes, counting sheep 

Gun in my mouth, trying to sleep 

Everything ends, everything has to 

Get well balloon, 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 

[?] drowned in a pool 

Nearly got killed walking to school 

Hope it was slow, hope it was painful 

Life is a gas, what can you do? 

Catheter piss, fed through a tube 

A 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 trying 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 want to be easy, acceptable 

I don't want to seem needy to anyone, especially you 

Especially you 

Especially you
