Sunday Music: Duncan Sheik White Limousine

You don’t need to be an English major to understand Duncan Sheik‘s allegory.

Listen to npr interview.

America, America this is our reward
Everything is boring, and everyone is bored

Studio version is spectacular. You can stream it from this page.

I guess they think it’s what we want
A smooth and easy ride
Constellations of ceiling lights
Hennessy and Nawgahide

America, America this is our reward
Everything is boring, and everyone is bored

May be a white
May be a white limousine
May be a white, white, white, white
Limousine

Who’s the smart guy at the wheel
Running out of gas
He likes to wear a flight suit
And fly around for laughs

A few incentives for the pharmacy
Hey I’m feeling better already
I don’t wanna be clear, it’s too much for me
I’m making up, oh I’m making up
For lost time, for all the lost time

Outside of limousine
Grown men they do cry
A bill for seven hours
Worth how many lives

We have won the war
We have won the war
