Way Out West
Andrew Bird's Bowl Of Fire

Elder green is dead and gone

Lost his way going to town

And I don't know who he is, what he's done

But it sure sounds sweet rolling off the tongue

Yeah, and it sure sounds sweet rolling off the tongue


Now if I was in an old hotel

That happened to be on fire

Well, maybe I'd jump or maybe I'd reconsider

Yeah, maybe I'd just climb a little higher


Like an oily rag in a dusty corner

Like a box of matches near an open flame

I'd jump 18 storeys from a burning tower

Oh, sooner than I'd face this world of shame


Yeah, I'd skip this town and jump a westbound train

And you take these fingerling's from my fingers

Spoken with your breath

With white washed eyes and flies that linger

Seems rather forlorn and bereft


I said where you going with that sack on your shoulder Willie

As if I couldn't have guessed

And he says, he's gonna get the hell out of slag valley

And he's gonna take a little stroll way out west

Yeah, he's gonna take a little stroll way out west


If I was in an old hotel

That happened to be on fire

Well, maybe I'd jump or maybe I'd reconsider

Then I'd just climb little higher


Like an oily rag in a dusty corner

Like a box of matches near an open flame

I'd get so far away from that old matchbox hotel

I'd skip this town and jump a westbound train

Oh man, anything to get away from this ol' shame


And I'd take these fingerlings from my fingers

Spoken with your breath

White washed eyes and flies that linger

Seems rather forlorn and bereft


And I said, where you going with that sack on your shoulder, Willie

As if I couldn't have guessed

He says, I'm gonna get the hell out of slag valley

And I'm gonna take a little stroll way out west

Yeah, I wanna take a little stroll way out west
