Beanbag Chair - Yo La Tengo

I’ve spent my life trying to understand

Just how my life lead to where I am

But it leaves a bitter taste

And it feels like such a waste

I am so totally vague

Betray the dark line, see if I care

I loved you when I was young but no more

So burn down the fireman’s fair

Memory plays its tricks on me

In my mind’s eye I claim to see

I’m losing every race I run

Making misery out of fun

So bulldoze the new road

They’re driving, slash the beanbag chair

You held me for so very long but no more

So burn down the fireman’s fair

All those types of things we think we need

But that doesn’t make them true

I’m a little afraid I’m falling far and free

I’ll leave that up to you

That’s up to you

So won’t you find me totally vague

A dream has died, see if I care

I loved you when I was young but no more

So burn down the fireman’s fair

Fireman’s fair

Burn down the fireman’s fair

Fireman’s fair

Burn down the fireman’s fair
