Car Seat Headrest - The Ending of Dramamine - Live from Spotify House SXSW '16

[Verse 1]
The drunk's face breaks into sweat
As his friend falls under the wheels
But the headlights don't flinch
And the engine doesn't stutter
Oh yeah

Think about myself
I think about myself
Care about myself
I care about myself
I only care about myself

And other fears too stupid to mention
The ending of "Dramamine" scared Degnan

The way that you all see me
That's who I am, but not who I need to be
Moving my joke body
Through the cold November night
Haha

Hate yourself
Do you hate yourself?
I don't hate myself
I tolerate myself
I wish I was someone else
But it seems too stupid to mention
I know I'll be ripped in heaven

[Chorus]
I was young, I was thin
I had money and I loved you
But then came the shabba de bop bop be shibby day, oh yeah
Shabba de bop bop be shibby-
I need a name for what I'm feeling
Then I can start to work on a meaning
Speaking of the shabba de bop bop be shibby day, oh yeah
Shabba de bop bop be shibby day, oh yeah

[Verse 2]
In a crowded room you will
Hear your own opinion voiced
You can sit back without a word
Watch it spread or fall silent
Oh yeah

If it's too late to speak
I could get out of bed
Find a pencil and write
Leave it for you to find
If the moment is gone
To say I figured out what the problem was
I'd been thinking about it earlier

Hey! Can you hear me now?
Am I alone in my futile efforts?
Sometimes I get so mad
I can't do the few things I usually can
Which is sad

Occupying space
I know I take up space
Will there be a space
For my soul in space?
That's heaven to me

[Chorus]
I was young, I was thin
I had money and I loved you
But then came the shabba de bop bop be shibby day, oh yeah
Shabba de bop bop be shibby-
I need a name for what I'm feeling
Then I can start to work on a meaning
Speaking of the shabba de bop bop be shibby day, oh yeah
Shabba de bop bop be shibby day, oh yeah
[Bridge]
And in the sky, there is a place
Where it's warm, and you're there
And I've got the power now
Yeah, I know what to do
To make you feel something besides pain
'Cause it's the love
That we've come to expect, to deserve
And we touch and it's nice
It's not a complicated mess
And my back doesn't hurt
And your head doesn't tell you to kill yourself
So we smile and embrace
Until we don't know who we are

[Verse 3]
I can't hear a thing now
I guess I belong to me now
But when night fell on Montana
I found a rest stop completely deserted
But I still felt the eyes upon me
So I drove away
