Carrot Diamond Lyrics - Bright Eyes

My serotonin's rationed, I'm coughing 

I kind of caught the blues 

But you won't catch me complaining 

to the super or the news 

Cause the carrot's gonna dangle 

'Til the diamond is appraised 

And all that talk made me feel rich baby, 

but tell me, who is gonna pay 

For braces to make straight, 

All that Colgate keep my white tooth-innocence? 

My smile's in sad shape, 

All the dead weight I got tired of carrying 

Yeah it's got me looking for a friend 

or a crutch I can depend on 

Well there's endless entertainment 

In thinking the world is gonna end 

And I live some nights convinced of it 

but I keep waking up again 

With my girl wrapped 'round my body 

and a towel wrapped 'round my head 

She says, you passed out in the bathtub, 

Angel, I thought that you were dead 

Don't die on me, don't tread on me 

My love, my love is not the enemy 

And you don't have to be no-one's biography 

Yeah they try and write you down and hope you go crazy 

So don't 

So don't 

Don't fall for that Christ-bait it's about as pass as rock star arrogance 

Tomorrow's a new day but it's that same face and you'll be wearing it 

Now you don't have to be content! but you do have to get on with it
