Open Mike Eagle - Idaho lyrics

rate me

Maybe we should’ve stayed where we was

We hopped in thinking it was a game, and it was

We made it then celebrated post game, but the buzz

My hindsight’s blurry it’s looking grey, with a fuzz.

Trying to muster all the foresight I can use for the road

Cause out here ain’t no streetlights I can view, where it goes

It’s supposed to be the desert I’m confused, cause it’s cold

Seeking what sunlight reflecting off the moon, could expose

Took two, for the road

Drank three, in the zone

Drank four, to the dome

Couple hits from the bowl

Hit the road!

But maybe we should’ve stayed where we was

We hopped in thinking it never rains, but it does

And this is the loneliest stretch of road, we have seen

Two hundred miles to go and not a pole in between

Don't roll, don't careen, two hands, on the wheel keep control

I don’t know if I’m speeding or going slow, in a dream.

Hook:

Sliding in the shimmer ship,

Hidden by the riverbank

Hovering over the desert,

Running not a real estate

Giant silver snake,

Grinding trying to hit the brakes,

Big mistake

Just trying to stay awake on the inner state.

I can’t touch the bottom, but I’m floating hella deep

I had a co-pilot but they fucking fell asleep

You’re supposed to be another set of motherfucking eyes

You shared your entertaining thoughts but now I’m stuck with mine.

Damn near fucking blind,

Don’t know why you trust me to drive!

I guess cause every time you trust,

We survive, but it’s time

Is a motherfucking gamble

Eventually lady luck will call and say she cancels

You betting on my confidence when I was extra high,

Now I’m extra high

We'll pull over just to rest my eyes

And the only thing, fueling me is that I’m scared to die

And I’m scared for you, cause you could die and never said goodbye

Why you trust me so?

Why’d you let me lead?

When I don’t know where I’m going and I speed?

And this vehicle’s the ...

Feel this coffee ruining my stomach and my pancreas

Sounds make me the angriest

So foggy the words,

Seem to be turning in different languages I

Hook:

Sliding in the shimmer ship,

Hidden by the riverbank

Hovering over the desert,

Running not a real estate

Giant silver snake,

Grinding trying to hit the brakes,

Big mistake

Just trying to stay awake on the inner state.

Maybe we should’ve stayed, where we was

This is the loneliest planet I’ve ever seen.

And I am in no state to try to fly this machine

I don’t know this terrain, all my instruments are twisted,

All my needles won’t behave.

I don’t know what’s in this atmosphere,

So when we finally crash I don’t know if we’ll be able to breathe,

If we’ll be able to leave, I have the tools to repair,

Whatever structures we tear

I know at first it was, yeah,

But I was so unaware of like the cost of the fuel

It started awesome now we’re tossed, and I lost all of my cool.
