My serotonin's rationed I'm coughing I kinda caught the blues But you won't catch me complaining To the super or the moon Cause the carrot's gonna dangle Until the diamond is appraised And all the talk made me feel rich baby But, tell me, who is gonna pay For braces to make straight All that Colgate Keep my white tooth innocence My smile's in sad shape All that dead weight I got tired of carrying And it's got me looking for a friend Or a crutch I can depend on Well, there's endless entertainment In thinking the world is gonna end And I live some nights convinced of it But I keep waking up again With my girl wrapped 'round my body And a towel wrapped 'round my head She says, "You passed out in the bathtub angel I thought that you were dead Don't die on me Don't tread on me My love, my love is not the enemy And you don't have to be No one's biography They'll try and write you down And hope you go crazy So don't, no don't fall for that Christ bait Its about as passe As rock star arrogance Tomorrow's a new day But it's that same face That you'll be wearing it And you don't have to be content But you do have to get on with it"
It was released as a free download on the Saddle Creek website just ahead of the album release. Unfortunately there has never been a higher quality audio release anywhere.

My serotonin's rationed
I'm coughing
I kinda caught the blues
But you won't catch me complaining
To the super or the moon
Cause the carrot's gonna dangle
Until the diamond is appraised
And all the talk made me feel rich baby
But, tell me, who is gonna pay
For braces to make straight
All that Colgate
Keep my white tooth innocence
My smile's in sad shape
All that dead weight
I got tired of carrying
And it's got me looking for a friend
Or a crutch I can depend on
Well, there's endless entertainment
In thinking the world is gonna end
And I live some nights convinced of it
But I keep waking up again
With my girl wrapped 'round my body
And a towel wrapped 'round my head
She says, "You passed out in the bathtub angel
I thought that you were dead
Don't die on me
Don't tread on me
My love, my love is not the enemy
And you don't have to be
No one's biography
They'll try and write you down
And hope you go crazy
So don't, no don't fall for that Christ bait
Its about as passe
As rock star arrogance
Tomorrow's a new day
But it's that same face
That you'll be wearing it
And you don't have to be content
But you do have to get on with it"
Bright eyes fan of 15 years. Never heard this and I thought I’d heard it all. Thanks for the upload a decade ago lol
Bright Eyes fan of 18 years and hearing this for the first time today - like you, thought I’d heard it all
Conor Oberst, Simon Joyner, and Dave Dondero are the holy trifecta of excellent lyrics.
Indeed
Thank you for uploading
This is one the TH-cam algorithm actually gets right for me occasionally
It was a mailing list only download I think, just before Cassadaga was released!
Thanks a lot for sharing, Liz. 🙂🎸
I always knew this song as "Carrot Diamond", it took a long time for me to finally find this lol.
Thank you for having this!
Some of his best lyrics ever
Thanks for posting, Liz.
I went into a hole trying to figure out where this came from. I'm 99% sure it was on the bside of a single released on vinyl for soul singer.
It was released as a free download on the Saddle Creek website just ahead of the album release. Unfortunately there has never been a higher quality audio release anywhere.
