Well they’d better save some space for me
In that growing cottage industry
Where selfishness is currency
People spend more than they make
So I wrapped my head in bandages
From the string of happy accidents
I guess maybe I asked for it
But who am I to say
The closing bell death tolls
Hear the market crash
A crying trader swears he’ll get out of the game
The cowboy drinks himself to death
Fresh out of rehab
While they’re loading all the rifles on the range
Look up at that Everest
Look down in that Mariana Trench
Look now as the crumbling 405 falls down
When the big one hits
Look out for the plainclothes
Look out for what the wiretap knows
Look out on the ever-widening money trail and where it goes
It takes a lot of gall
To try to please
These dehumanizing entities
I befriended all my enemies
They had my back against the wall
Oh a coward is
What a coward does
I suppose maybe I always was
But I’m sick of it
I’ve had enough
And now I’m ready for the war
The lion bows his head down
To the ringmaster
With the tightrope stretched so high
Above the crowd
All these faces are contortionists
It must have hurt
Because they all looked as unhappy
As a clown
Look long at that Stonehenge
Look quick is it something you missed
Look in to that smoldering building’s bombed out fog
Until it finally lifts
Look up at that big wave
Look down at your other brother’s grave
Look hard for a harder something to sacrifice
That’s what it takes
That’s what it takes
Look up at that Everest
Look down in that Mariana Trench
Look now as the crumbling 405 falls down
Oh when the big one hits
Look out for the plainclothes
Speak soft what the wiretap knows
Look out on that ever-widening money trail
And where it goes
Where does it go?

The world is ready for Bright Eyes again
-
I'm 31 and have been a fan since I was 14 ❤️ This man's music has helped me through the ugliest and darkest depressions of my life. Through heartbreak and tears and suicidal thoughts.
-
Found this song searching for Mariana Trench documentaries. Damn lucky I found these guys, crazy feelings from this particular song.
-
Bright eyes is timeless. Old records still apply today; and the four songs we've heard from this album feel like they were written exactly for this apocalyptic feeling time. They never disappoint and August 21st can't come soon enough!
-
This is stunning. It feels like it encapsulates everything about life and the universe in under 4 minutes.
-
I literally cried tears of both happiness and sadness the first time I heard this. Only Conor can do that.
-
"It takes a lot of gall to try and please these dehumanizing entities"......another great line from Conor to add to so many others. Don't ever stop doing what you do Conor for once again, you have touched my soul.
-
"you . . . " he said "are an incredibly Real thing, in an incredibly False world. and that is why you feel so much pain."
-
It's just crazy - four songs of such an incredible quality! what a sound
-
What a great gift to go along with Monday morning coffee
-
good lord, the addition of the master Jon Theodore on drums really makes bright eyes hit that much harder. Dude is incredible.
-
Bright Eyes new music is the soundtrack to my quarantine. Bright Eyes, new Strokes, Freddie Gibbs, J Electronica. Thank you b
-
God bless Conor and Bright Eyes. The world needs them at this time.
-
So far, this album has been astonishingly prescient of the months following its recording.
-
Damn. That “Enemies Got My Back… against the wall” line hit hard.
-
Premiering on my birthday. What a gift. 💜
-
So happy to hear the quality has not changed. Super happy to have some new music to listen to. Ive been replaying their old music for 10yrs. 😄
-
As much as I LOVE everything Coner does.... Nothing compares to Bright Eyes!!😎
-
AMAZING, I've been a fan of Bright Eyes for three decades and his music has gotten better after a nine year hiatus from The People's Key and I own this album: ‘Down in the Weeds, Where the World Once Was’ and it's AWESOME and he still remains to be THE BEST indie musicians in history!
