Modest Mouse - Dashboard

 ★ 



Well, it would've been,

could've been worse than you would ever know.

Oh, the dashboard melted,

but we still have the radio.



Oh, it should've been,

could've been worse than you would ever know.

Well, you told me about nowhere

well it sounds like someplace I'd like to go.



Oh, it could've been,

should've been worse than you would ever know.

Well, the windshield was broken

but I love the fresh air y'know.

(The dashboard melted but we still have the radio)



Oh, it would've been,

could've been worse than you would ever know, oh!

(The dashboard melted but we still have the radio)

Oh, we talked about nothing

which was more than I wanted you to know-oh-oh-oh-oh.

Now here we go!



Oh! It would've been,

could've been worse than it had even gone

Well, the car was on blocks,

but I was already where I want.

(It was impossible, we ran it good, we ran it good)



Why should we ever even ever really even get to know?

(It was impossible, we ran it good, we ran it good)

Oh if the world don't like us

it'll shake us just like we were a co-oh-oh-oh-old.

Now here we go!



Well we scheme and we scheme but we always blow it

We've yet to crash, but we still might as well enjoy it

Standing at a light switch to each east and west horizon,

Every dawn you're surprising,

And the evening was consoling

Saying "See it wasn't quite as bad as"

Well, it would've been,

could've been worse than you would ever know.



I was patiently erasing and recording the wrong episodes

After you had proved my point wrong,

It wasn't like I'd let it go, oh-oh-oh. Oh-oh-oh.

I just wanted to catch the last laugh of this show.



Yeah, it would've been,

could've been worse than you would ever know.

Oh, the dashboard melted,

but we still have the radio.

(The dashboard melted, but we ran it good, we ran it good)



Hard-wired to concieve,

so much we'd have to stow it

Even needs have needs,

tiny giants made of tinier giants.

Don't wear eyelids

so I don't miss the last laugh of this show.

(The dashboard melted but we still have the radio)



Oh, we could've been,

should've been worse than you would ever know.

(The dashboard melted but we still have the radio)

Well, you told me about nowhere

well it sounds like someplace I'd like to go-oh-oh-oh-oh.

Now here we go!



Well we scheme and we scheme but we always blow it

We've yet to crash, but we still might as well enjoy it

Standing at a light switch to each east and west horizon,

Every dawn you're surprising,

And the evening was consoling

Saying "See it wasn't quite as bad as"



Oh it would've been,

could've been worse than you would ever know.
