Conor Oberst - Till St. Dymphna Kicks Us Out Lyrics






Rise and shine, get out of bed
Get ready for the day
Get a coffee from the deli
And walk the riverbank
Be careful with your headphones on
When you cross the FDR
Don't want to be a casualty
Before you make it to the bar
And hide your shakes and worried face
Just sit down in the back
Your friends got there ahead of you
And night is falling fast

Oh, you know you shouldn't say it
So you're thinking it out loud
Some things we lost are never to be found
But if you're gonna talk like that
At least buy another round
And we can keep drinking till St. Dymphna kicks us out

This world is made of blinking lights
They're changing all the time
But depending who you're talking to
It's likely to be fine
I watched you go from bad to worse
The blues is here to stay
Sometimes it's the simple things that make it all okay

Oh, you don't have to lie, say you're alright
We're just happy that you're here
But if you yell and tell me to go to hell
Well at least you'd sound sincere
Oh, you know it's all a spectacle
When you go to take a bow
You always did get nervous in a crowd
But if you need some company
I'd gladly stick around
And we can keep drinking till St. Dymphna kicks us out

Let's get enabled
Great minds, they think alike
I never was a good judge of when to call it a night

Oh, you don't have to say it
So you're thinking it out loud
Some things go south and they never turn around
But if you want a confidant
I'd never let you down
Oh, we can keep drinking till St. Dymphna kicks us out
Yeah, we can keep drinking till St. Dymphna kicks us out

    MATT HITT AND TILDA LINDSTAM FUCK YESS

  7. j.... ....

    Fitting eulogy for neighborhood fixture. rip St. Dymphna's

  8. P.... ....

    I am sad that the bar has closed down.

  9. J.... R....

    At this point he’s a living legend. If he doesn’t make it into the rock n’ roll hall of fame, I’ll be very disappointed.

    J.... R....

    Honestly dude the hall of fame doesn't really mean that much, radioheads not even in the hall of fame

    J.... R....

    I don’t like Radiohead. Lol

    J.... R....

    That sucks, I guess ur loss man, maybe in time, they're one of the best in my opinion

  10. R.... W....

    Farewell St. Dymphna's! Thank you for the memories.

  11. �.... K....

    Very similar to I won’t ever be happy again

  12. B.... L....

    one of the craft beer representatives at my job told me he was in this video... shame i cant remember what he looks like

  13. M.... R....

    Hard to believe this place closed yesterday. Loved every second of my time with my St.D's family. Dymphna's Forever <3!

  14. J.... S....

    Damn.....feeling really homesick right now. I live in Maine now, but Dymphna's was my bar, on and off, from 2001 until I left NYC in 2014.

  15. H.... X....

    Sadly the place mentioned in this video is closing after 20+ years. Thank gentrification for that.

  16. J.... N....

    This song kinda reminds me of "Cold Chillin' Cold Chillin'" by BTMI

  17. L.... S....

    Can someone tell me what this song has to do with St. Dymphna? Like, did he just pick a saint's name at random? Confused...

    L.... S....

    it's a bar in NY

    L.... S....

    The patron saint of mental illness

  18. L.... A....

    fucking BRILLIANT. thank you !!

  19. F.... S....

    white collar, episode 4, flip of aclin, go rv

  23. C.... C....

    iraqi dinar

  24. N.... N....

    You know he's Reading Kafka or dostevksi...

  25. F.... T....

    St Dymphna is an actual bar in New York, people. I know Conor likes his symbolism but this is literally about all the times he spent at this bar.

  26. R.... ....

    video is sick, song is so so

  27. C.... N....

    wow this is the stupidest thing ever

  28. B.... L....

    What kind of shot is this called in cinematography?

  29. N.... F....

    Local public radio was playing this on my drive home. I love it.

  30. M.... S....

    Griffin from Dawes w/ a cameo!!!!! Great song btw

  31. D.... V....

    Thanks for making me feel like I'm not drinking alone when I listen to you Conor!

  32. J.... L....

    @ColoredSpaces

  35. I.... ....

    Lower East side bar... I've been there.

  36. J.... W....

    Gosh who's the hunk at :56 ?? Fierce like a beat poet

    J.... W....

    Joe Wirtheim I like that compliment, made me laugh.

  37. C.... A....

    The melody in this song brings me back to "I will never be happy again"...

    C.... A....

    At least something in the intro...

  38. J.... P....

    This was my go to bar in college! East Village, NYC.

    J.... P....

    Searching the comments for the names of the people in the video, and saw your comment. Hahaha. Conor bringing us together, still. Hope you're doing well, Jaime!

    J.... P....

    Hi! So funny. Hope you're doing alright too!

  39. 1.... ....

    This song reminds me so much of another one of his songs, I fee like its one on the One Jug of Wine, Two Vessels. But I cant put my finger on it. Regardless, I love anything this human puts out

    1.... ....

    Well morning came, and it dressed the sky
    In a lovely yellow gown

    1.... ....

    I'll never be happy again

  40. B.... R....

    Amazing, reminds me of late bright eyes, and conor being blatantly true about shit.

  41. M.... P....

    Stephin Merritt ??????

  42. R.... B....

    Now I have the urge to make Wednesday...Funnesday?

  43. d.... ....

    d.... ....

  45. B.... R....

    What a brilliant mind. Conor, you are a living legend.

  52. C.... C....

    Great vid and fabulous coat Dave!

  53. J.... C....

    The video reminds me a bit of "First day of my life" , Conor is a gift for us !

  54. R.... T....

    Every time I saw a new person watching this video:
    Is that Conor? 😮 - No 😔 - Is that Conor? 😮 - No 😔 - I see a dog 😐 - Is that Conor? 😑

  55. C.... ....

    thats a long table

    C.... ....

    it is a circle

    C.... ....

    You're both wrong lol..

    C.... ....

    Hiebs What kind of shot is this called in cinematography?

    C.... ....

    @BGM Live! linking shot i guess but its definitely chopped up

  56. J.... N....

    The fact that Stephin Merritt is at the bar is the cherry on this sundae... A beautiful song with a knod from one brilliant songwriter to another.

  57. k.... r....

    Love this song ❤️ you've done it again Conor

  58. J.... E....

    Conor got dim skillz fer dayz

  59. A.... B....

    this is crazy. i just learned about Saint Dymphna the other day and drew a picture of her... and Conor is my fave but I hadn't heard this song.

  60. Z.... N....

    Absolutely wonderful video! Great job!!

  61. M.... A....

    Great tune, great video.

  62. a.... p....

    That's one long table

  63. R.... O....

    Great Song - Again!

    R.... O....

    Always! ❤

  64. M.... G....

    i love this arrangement, so pumped for salutations

  65. R.... F....

    St. Dymphna is the patron saint of the nervous, emotionally disturbed, mentally ill, and those who suffer neurological disorders - and, consequently, of psychologists, psychiatrists, and neurologists. She is also the patron saint of victims of incest

    R.... F....

    thanks, man

    R.... F....

    Ola Corleone hmm that would be a great name for one..

    R.... F....

    When I saw him live in SD recently he stated that this song was about a bar he often goes to in NYC....called St. Dymphna

    R.... F....

    hey, i am one of the guys who shot this music video. i'm also in various scenes in the video as well with my girlfriend(we are the couple kissing, and the couple with matching denim jackets). the pub is all real. its been a special place to conor and all of our friends for many years. the role of st. dymphna can be many different things. if you notice the ending, when the girl pulls the closing gate down, theres a heavy bit of symbolism there. i wont give it all away, but shes the owner of the bar. shes in a way, our special saint.

    R.... F....

    She ran away when her mom died and her Pagan father wanted to marry her. He tracked her down and cut off her head when she refused him. She was staying at a nunnery and helping the ill.

  66. D.... M....

    That was fucking beautiful.

  67. S.... R....

    You really are the best, Conor. Thank you for all your beautiful music.

  68. S.... B....

    ad is playing, but I liked the video cause Conor does no bad

  69. S.... S....

    Great video, great song.

  70. A.... R....

    So looking forward to this album.

    A.... R....

    Haha I'm referring to the album coming out on march 17. Not the previous solo works.

    A.... R....

    Ahahah okok

    A.... R....

    Whaaaaat!? I thought that Ruminations was all that we were getting! So you're saying that there will be a full band version?! 😮

    A.... R....

    Rachel Trainor yup. More songs, full-band.

    A.... R....

    Perfect! 🙌🏻

  71. P.... P....

    Fuck alcohol.

    P.... P....

    Can one make babies with it or just fuck it?

    P.... P....

    +Dari Mullen pickle juice?? I'm sooo lost!! 😄

    P.... P....

    Parisitic Pictures It's a personal decision

    P.... P....

    Parisitic Pictures Alcohol is wonderful.

    P.... P....

    I am DRUNK!
