if the brakeman turns my way

• mr. conor oberst'in yine kendini gösterdiği harika bir bright eyes şarkısı.^*
  sanki gold mine guttedin başka bir versiyonu olmuş.
  
  when panic grips your body and your heart is a hummingbird
  raven thoughts blacken your mind until you're breathing in reverse
  all your friends and sedatives mean well but make it worse
  every reassurance just magnifies the doubt
  better find yourself a place to level out
  
  got a cricket for a conscience always looks the other way
  a cocaine soul starts seeming like an empty cabaret
  hey, where have all the dancers gone? now the music doesn't play
  tried to listen to the river but you couldn't shut your mouth
  better take a little time to level out
  
  i never thought of running
  my feet just led the way
  
  mixed up signals
  bullet train
  cars are switched out in the crazy rain
  i could meet you any place
  if the brakeman turns my way
  
  all this automatic writing i have tried to understand
  from a psychedelic angel who was tugging on my hand
  it's an infinite coincidence but it doesn't form a plan
  so i'm headed for new england or the paris of the south
  gonna find myself somewhere to level out
  
  are your brothels full, oh babylon, with merry middlemen?
  never peer out of their periscopes from those deep opium dens
  all this death must need a counterweight always someone born again
  first a mother bathes her child then the other way around
  the scales always find a way to level out
  
  i tried to pass for nothing
  but my dreams gave me away
  
  mixed up signals
  bullet train
  people snuffed out in the brutal rain
  i could live to any age
  if the brakeman turns my way
  
  it is an old world it's hard to remember
  like a dime store mystery
  i'm a repeat first time offender
  who has rewritten history
  
  mixed up tea leaves
  phantom pain
  fuzzy logic in the the crazy rain
  getting better every day
  if the brakeman turns my way
  
  mixed up signals
  bullet train
  cars are switched out in the blinding rain
  he'll be smiling as he seals my fate
  when the brakeman turns my way
