My serotonin's rationed I'm coughing I kinda caught the blues But you won't catch me complaining To the super or the moon Cause the carrot's gonna dangle Until the diamond is appraised And all the talk made me feel rich baby But, tell me, who is gonna pay For braces to make straight All that Colgate Keep my white tooth innocence My smile's in sad shape All that dead weight I got tired of carrying And it's got me looking for a friend Or a crutch I can depend on Well, there's endless entertainment In thinking the world is gonna end And I live some nights convinced of it But I keep waking up again With my girl wrapped 'round my body And a towel wrapped 'round my head She says, "You passed out in the bathtub angel I thought that you were dead Don't die on me Don't tread on me My love, my love is not the enemy And you don't have to be No one's biography They'll try and write you down And hope you go crazy So don't, no don't fall for that Christ bait Its about as passe As rock star arrogance Tomorrow's a new day But it's that same face That you'll be wearing it And you don't have to be content But you do have to get on with it"

Conor Oberst, Simon Joyner, and Dave Dondero are the holy trifecta of excellent lyrics.

I went into a hole trying to figure out where this came from. I'm 99% sure it was on the bside of a single released on vinyl for soul singer.

It was released as a free download on the Saddle Creek website just ahead of the album release. Unfortunately there has never been a higher quality audio release anywhere.
