Текст песни «Fleet Foxes - Helplessness Blues»

i was raised up believin'
I was somehow unique
Like a snowflake distinct among snowflakes
Unique in each way you can see.

And now after some thinkin'
I'd say i'd rather be
A functioning cog in some great machinery
Servin' some thing beyond me

But i don't i don't know what that will be.
I'll get back to you someday
Soon you will see.

What's my name what's my station
Oh just tell me what i should do
I don't need to be kind to the armies of night
That would do such injustice to you.
Or bow down and be grateful
And say "sure take all that you see"
To the men who move only in depleted halls
And determine my future for me.
Lyrics provided by

And i don't i don't know who to believe
I'll get back to you someday
Soon you will see.


If i know only one thing
Is that everything that i see
Of the world outside is full of such wonder
That often i barely can speak

Yeah i'm tongue tied and dizzy
And i can't keep it to myself
What good is it to sing helplessness blues?
Why should i wait for anyone else?

And i know i know you keep me on the shelf
I'll come back to you someday
Soon myself.

If i had an orchard
I'd work 'till i'm raw.
If i had an orchard
I'd work 'till i'm sore.
And you would wait table 'till you ran the store.

Oh oh ohh.

If i had an orchard i'd work 'till i'm sore.
