Better Oblivion Community Center – My City lyrics

[Verse 1: Conor Oberst & Phoebe Bridgers]
Looking out on the river bend
Looking out on the thing that isn't
Looking out on the freeway's push and pull
Looking out for the current
Little spells of forgetfulness
Little sounds are that shrill and urgent
Little insects that sting as they come and go
Little moments of purpose

[Chorus 1: Conor Oberst & Phoebe Bridgers]
I loved you
I wore you out
I missed you
Where are you now?

[Verse 2: Conor Oberst & Phoebe Bridgers]
This town is a monolith
This town is a crowded movie
This town is a depot, I come and go
This town is my city

[Chorus 2: Conor Oberst & Phoebe Bridgers]
I hate you
I tore you down
I miss you
Where are you now?

[Bridge: Conor Oberst & Phoebe Bridgers]
Looking bad like those Vegas odds
Wear a smile like it's camouflage

[Verse 3: Conor Oberst & Phoebe Bridgers]
Today was a smoking sky
Today was a civic menace
Today I went walking while things explode
Some sad independence

[Chorus 3: Conor Oberst & Phoebe Bridgers]
I want to be just as loud
All this freedom just freaks me out

[Outro: Conor Oberst & Phoebe Bridgers]
Risk it all on the game of chance
Chasing love like an ambulance
