Conor Oberst
Lonely at the Top
[Verse 1]
It's lonely at the top of that upside mountain
Watch the sunrise from a windowless room
If the paramedics stall, the soul goes on
Without them, in a wicker basket tied to a balloon

[Chorus]
There are no boundaries to love
The heart can't comprehend the panorama

[Verse 2]
I took it on the chin from some second-hand feeling
Sorrow handed down to me, it felt brand new
Tiny violins or some summer insects listening
Another season leaving us too soon

[Chorus]
Freedom's the opposite of love
You'll never keep it through the paranoia

[Verse 3]
I'm standing on the edge of a million landscapes
Emptyin' the water from the glacier fills my shoes
Laying in your bed, my dreams are sex and violence
I chase the rapist chasing after you
[Chorus]
There is no dignity in love
Trade every scrap to get some absolution

[Outro]
Till then, I'm walking out the door
Till then, I'm running through the airport
Till then, I'm waiting 'round for no one
