271. Beanbag chair - Yo La Tengo

I spend my life trying to understand
Just how my life led to where I am
But it leaves a bitter taste
It feels like such a waste

I am so totally vague
Betray the dark line, see if I care
I loved you when I was young
But no more so
Burn down the fireman's fair

Memory plays its tricks on me
In my mind's eye I plainly see
I'm losing every race I run
Making misery out of fun

So bulldoze the new road they're driving
Slash the beanbag chair
You held me so very long
But no more so
Burn down the fireman's fair

All the types of things we think we need
That doesn't make them true
I'm a little afraid I'm falling far and free
I'll leave that up to you
That's up to you

So won't you help me to obey the dream
Of dark love, see if I care
I loved you when I was young
But no more so
Burn the down the fireman's fair
