[00:00.00]Way out West - Andrew Bird
[00:04.32]Elder green is dead and gone
[00:09.40]Lost his way going to town
[00:13.05]And I don't know who he is what he's done
[00:18.71]But it sure sounds sweet rolling off the tongue
[00:22.04]Yeah and it sure sounds sweet rolling off the tongue
[00:59.59]Now if I was in an old hotel
[01:03.30]That happened to be on fire
[01:06.45]Well maybe Id jump or maybe Id reconsider
[01:09.74]Yeah maybe Id just climb a little higher
[01:13.63]Like an oily rag in a dusty corner
[01:16.62]Like a box of matches near an open flame
[01:20.53]Id jump 18 storeys from a burning tower
[01:24.08]Oh sooner than Id face this world of shame
[01:27.44]Yeah Id skip this town and jump a westbound train
[01:31.27]And you take these fingerling's from my fingers
[01:35.25]Spoken with your breath
[01:38.46]With white washed eyes and flies that linger
[01:42.80]Seems rather forlorn and bereft
[01:45.08]I said where you going with that sack on your shoulder Willie
[01:49.11]As if I couldn't have guessed
[01:51.94]And he says he's gonna get the hell out of slag valley
[01:55.66]And he's gonna take a little stroll way out west
[01:58.99]Yeah he's gonna take a little stroll way out west
[02:34.46]If I was in an old hotel
[02:38.14]That happened to be on fire
[02:41.06]Well maybe Id jump or maybe Id reconsider
[02:45.27]Then Id just climb little higher
[02:48.19]Like an oily rag in a dusty corner
[02:51.74]Like a box of matches near an open flame
[02:54.99]Id get so far away from that old matchbox hotel
[02:58.79]Id skip this town and jump a westbound train
[03:01.82]Oh man anything to get away from this ol' shame
[03:06.08]And I'd take these fingerlings from my fingers
[03:10.29]Spoken with your breath
[03:13.58]White washed eyes and flies that linger
[03:16.87]Seems rather forlorn and bereft
[03:19.96]And I said where you going with that sack on your shoulder Willie
[03:24.30]As if I couldn't have guessed
[03:27.08]He says I'm gonna get the hell out of slag valley
[03:30.36]And I'm gonna take a little stroll way out west
[03:33.92]Yeah I wanna take a little stroll way out west
