Kick Lyrics - Upside-down Mountain - Conor Oberst

Kick you know you're still a kid 

And your diets too full of additives 

Passed out on a couch with ashes in your mouth 

Dreaming that you're hopping a fence 

This world must have it out for you 

From the shores of Montaca to Malibu 

The trappings of a name you never could escape 

Because people want to live in the past 

Some goal they mentioned they never had 

I thought we lost that Camelot 

I thought we lost that Camelot 

It's a children's story we forgot 

So long ago 

Kick it's hard to find a friend 

In a place that's so cruel and partisan 

But you should go in style to Stockholm for a while 

Live outside oblivion's lent 

Someday you'll have a fine divorce 

And a cemetery plot in Johannesburg 

It's time you close your eyes 

On a helicopter ride 

I hope you see it isn't your fault 

I hope you know it isn't your fault 

I thought they shot that Camelot 

I thought they shot that Camelot 

Whoever shot this movie star he grows 

And the show must go on 

Laying in an office on an old chaise lounge 

Listening to the doctor drone 

No therapeutic feeling once the shock wears off 

Answer every question no 

Hiding in a hammock with the shades pulled down 

Wondering if the stories broke 

Tragedy is prophet once the word gets out 

Tablets at the country store 

Searching under tables once the bars closed down 

Said somebody stole your phone 

Now there's no one to talk to but these trust fund drunks 

Should have brought a chaperon 

Kick I'd love to help you but I just don't count 

Friendship makes you paranoid 

I don't believe in crescents 

But I just might now we never really had a choice 

Like all your broken toys 

Kick you know this life is rich 

But pleasures not the same as happiness 

If you don't collide with the traffic in your mind 

I think you'll find your way out of this 

I hope you find your way out of this
