Governor's Ball-Conor Oberst

　　He came with his friends in a caravan

　　To witness the Governor's Ball

　　Sat by himself on a cool patch of grass

　　While the rest stood like bricks in a wall

　　The stage it looked like a vending machine

　　The singer a black Barbie doll

　　But it was well lit and well managed

　　So no property would be damaged

　　Until his boredom took full advantage

　　Of it all

　　Talked to a girl with Klonopin eyes

　　Who said she had jewelry to sell

　　First he said no thanks, then he realized

　　That he wasn't feeling that well

　　And the turquoise she held looked like pieces of sky

　　And a garnet like teardrops from hell

　　She offered, him a necklace

　　And he wanted to accept it

　　But it would end up too expensive

　　He could tell

　　Then she said,

　　"Why not?

　　What have you got to lose, to lose?"

　　When he never came back

　　The curfew had passed

　　His friends searched the fair grounds for clues

　　But security guard with a maniacal laugh said,

　　"Its always the leader you lose"

　　And he finally turned up in the broad light of day

　　With a black eye as big as the moon

　　They all asked him what had happened

　　Was it real or imagined?

　　Why on earth had he abandon them so soon?

　　And he said,

　　"Why not? I do what I've got to do,

　　And so should you"
