Dashboard Lyrics - We Were Dead Before The Ship Even Sank - Modest Mouse

Well, it would've been 

Could've been worse than you would ever know 

Oh, the dashboard melted 

But we still have the radio 

Oh, it should've been 

Could've been worse than you would ever know 

Well, you told me about nowhere 

Well, it sounds like someplace I'd like to go 

Oh, it could've been 

Should've been worse than you would ever know 

Well, the windshield was broken 

But I love the fresh air ya know 

(The dashboard melted, but we still have the radio) 

Oh, it would've been 

Could've been worse than you would ever know, oh! 

(The dashboard melted, but we still have the radio) 

Oh, we talked about nothing 

Which was more than I wanted you to know-oh-oh-oh-oh 

Now here we go! 

Oh, it would've been 

Could've been worse than it had even gone 

Well, the car was on blocks, but I was already where I want 

(It was impossible, we ran it good, we ran it good) 

Why should we ever even ever really even get to know? 

(It was impossible, we ran it good, we ran it good) 

Oh, if the world don't like us 

It'll shake us just like we were a co-oh-oh-oh-old 

Now here we go! 

Well, we scheme, and we scheme, but we always blow it 

We've yet to crash, but we still might as well enjoy it 

Standing at a light switch to each east and west horizon 

Every dawn you're surprising 

And the evening was consoling 

Saying, "See, it wasn't quite as bad as" 

Well, it would've been 

Could've been worse than you would ever know 

I was patiently erasing and recording the wrong episodes 

After you had proved my point wrong 

It wasn't like I'd let it go, oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh 

I just wanted to catch the last laugh of this show 

Yeah, it would've been 

Could've been worse than you would ever know 

Oh, the dashboard melted, but we still have the radio 

(The dashboard melted, but we ran it good, we ran it good) 

Hard-wired to conceive, so much we'd have to stow it 

Even needs have needs, tiny giants made of tinier giants 

Don't wear eyelids so I don't miss the last laugh of this show 

(The dashboard melted, but we still have the radio) 

Oh, we could've been 

Should've been worse than you would ever know 

(The dashboard melted, but we still have the radio) 

Well, you told me about nowhere 

Well, it sounds like someplace I'd like to go-oh-oh-oh-oh 

Now here we go! 

Well, we scheme, and we scheme, but we always blow it 

We've yet to crash, but we still might as well enjoy it 

Standing at a light switch to each east and west horizon 

Every dawn you're surprising 

And the evening was consoling 

Saying, "See, it wasn't quite as bad as" 

Oh, it would've been 

Could've been worse than you would ever know
