Red Cape

Conor Oberst - Cape Canaveral

Oh, oh, oh brother totem pole

I saw your legends lined up

And I never felt more natural

Apart, I just came apart



Please, please, please sister Socrates

You always answer with a question

Show some kindness to a petty thief

Forgive, you did forgive



Saw the migrants smoke in the old orange grove

And the red rocket blaze over Cape Canaveral

You’ve been a father to me

In 1960’s speak

In the comatose joy that we’re on TV

While the mountain’s side was shining

Wild colors of my destiny



I watched your face age backwards

Changing shape in my memory

You told me victory’s sweet

Even deep in the cheap seats



Hey, hey, hey mother interstate

Can you deliver me from evil

Make me honest make me wedding cake

Atone, I will atone



Wait, wait,
