Counting Sheep (Full Band) Lyrics by Conor Oberst

Salutations

2017

[Verse 1]
Closing my eyes, counting the sheep
Gun in my mouth, tryin' to sleep
Everything ends, everything has to
Get-well balloons, goin' insane
Weight of the world, papier-mâché
Gone with the wind, out into nothing
[Chorus]
Just trying to be easy
Agreeable
I don't wanna seem needy
To anyone, including you
[Verse 2]
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 piss, 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 wanna buy, I wanna sell, too
[Chorus 2]
But I don't want to seem greedy
I'm generous
I just wanna be pleasing
To everyone, including you
[Bridge]
Tomorrow is shinin' like a razor blade
And anything's possible if you feel the same
[Verse 3]
Early to bed, early to rise
Actin' my age, waitin' 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
[Chorus]
I'm just tryin' to be easy
Acceptable
I don't want to seem needy
To anyone, especially you
Especially you
Especially you
Especially you
