Hubcap Lyrics by Conor Oberst

Water

1993

I'm gonna fall down but at least I know I've tried
I wish I could help you there but my hands are tied
Stay out there for a while waiting for the light
I cannot say what is wrong but I know I'm right

Hey sorry about your car, I'm sure it would have gotten real far
But I know you are, and I put it in a jar, it'll grow into a star
Then I'll let it go, then I'll let it go let it shine

I just want to get my point across
Can't you just listen to my side?
Can't you just listen to my side?
I just want to get my point across

Most of it's on fire
It doesn't take much to get a person wired
Set it down, just push it away
And the waste basket kills everyone

Sorry about your car, I'm sure it would have got real far
I still hope you are, I'll put it in a jar, and it'll grow into a star
And then I'll make it mine, yeah and then I'll make it mine

I just want to get my point across
Can't you just listen to my side?
And why can't you just listen to my side?
I just want to get....

And I know that you're just so trendy
You get sick inside, just look at you
Hang it on a wall by a post and don't let them see it there
Oh put me in the waste basket!

Hey sorry about your car, I know I could have made it start
Man, I tried so hard to make it, make it try to grow into a star
And then I'll blow you up, push it in my face, put me out of place
I'm losing the race, then I'll let it go, yeah no one has to know
Cause I'll put it in the car, yeah sorry about it sir
And then I'll put it in a jar and it'll go real far
