Conor Oberst - Too Late To Fixate Lyrics






Tried some bad meditation
Sitting up in the dark
They say to picture an island
Cause that's one place to start
I guess I could count my blessings
I don't sleep in the park
With all my earthly possessions
In one old shopping cart

No, I'm up in the penthouse
On a big feather bed
Is it too late to fixate
On that instead

My wife takes a vacation
One she can't afford
I go fishing the alleys
For someone to escort
No, I don't mind the money
It beats betting on sports
And though it might get expensive
It's cheaper than divorce

And I love her torn stockings
And her lipstick of red
Is it too late to fixate
On her instead

You know you're my favorite
She says when we're through
Some parts are off limits
But I'd give them to you

Where the hell was Dock Ellis
When I gave up that hit
Where was Timothy Leary
When reality bit
Who's the new Dalai Lama
That shy little kid
With no room in his body
Where a stranger could live

I can't blame him for dreaming
He'll sleep when he's dead
Is it too late to fixate
On that instead
Is it too late to fixate
On that instead

Conor Oberst Too Late To Fixate Comments
  1. H.... 5....

    Great song and album!

  2. M.... L....

    I love you and love your music

  3. J.... F....

    Is it too late to fix things? We’ve been a collision course with oblivion forever. If you do nothing then you cant be blamed. I prefer to have some hope though, its not all bad. I love humans.

  4. W.... F....

    I can’t believe I’ve never heard this before. It’s amazing how someone can become so famous and never let it get to their head. Probably the richest person in life, though, I am never sure 🤷🏼‍♂️ how can one stay so modest and talented??Bless your soul, my friend. May your love never

  5. r.... 2....

    this mix is amazing

  6. H.... H....

    I LOVE you

  7. e.... h....

    11,191 subscribers. Nice! Why not 33,333? Too obvious? I am sorry you have to keep playing this part. Some of us can read between the lines. Just fake your death like the rest of them and be rid of it.

  8. B.... P....

    Wowza! Much love to you.

  9. C.... M....

    My son turned me on to you/Bright Eyes some years back now, and I love it. He gave me some cd’s on which he would write things like “with love to my mom, a whole lotta Bright Eyes” or “here ya go mom ... enjoy!” Just things like that ~ he was killed five years ago now and I listen to those cd’s ~ most every time I cry but I love them & I feel like my son is right there with me listening. Thank you Conor

    C.... M....

    Sorry for your loss Carol :( You're son has great taste in music and I bet a whole lot more. ❤️

    C.... M....

    Hey Carol, take care. CD's to treasure. Beautiful connection. Thinking of you, your son and all yours right now. Thank you for sharing your experience.

  10. a.... z....

    The most drugged and bused song on YT

  11. S.... O....

    I was a huge bright eyes fan. And now that I've discovered your music again, I'm so happy. I missed your voice!

  12. E.... ....

    I will always love you Conor, been listening to bright eyes since forever, on to desaparecidos, mystic valley band, monsters of folk, and of course you on your own. You will forever be my absolute favorite artist of all time. My kids will know all of your songs before they can talk. Thank you for always being the relatable, smart voice i could always listen to and count on to be able to express our shared emotions into words. bc i sure can't. Thanks for helping me explain myself better.

    C.... O....

    Me too.

    C.... O....

    I came here specifically to say the same. His work saved my life on more than one occasion. The perfect combination of validation and hope.

  18. S.... ....

    Good good stuff, but damn does it remind me of Jeff Tweedy/Wilco...

  19. R.... H....

  23. K.... C....

    Man, he's coming to my city. Pray I gat to see him. I think he's sold out in heaven :"( what I mean is I don't have $ yet. Hopefully by next week. Also I love a youtuber from the UK who goes to many concerts . He's going help me find my bff, which is all I'm alive for. It was conor oberst. Now I've no idea.. tips for a gift maxed gift from the University crafts or I will understand that were the best orgasm to make sure you have to be true so I don't think it was a terrible things that the gear phantom of my farm is

  27. B.... ....

    Been around since Fevers. Thanks Conor.

  28. L.... D....

    Is anyone going to see him live at shepards bush this August?

  29. m.... ....

    I want you all to hate me. This guy is horrible...

    m.... ....

    No room for hate here, sorry bro. Good thing your thoughts are free :)

    m.... ....

    Your opinion is your own brother, don't let a potential response get ya down.

    m.... ....

    This is not about hate, but his music. Nothing personal, just lousy musician.

    m.... ....

    Your opinion is your opinion. This isn't my favorite work by him, but I've been following him for a long time, so I continue to support him. You should try checking out his earlier work and all of the other projects he has been apart of before coming to that conclusion.

    m.... ....

    Nice try but we just can't believe you.

  30. O.... G....

    ordering this vinyl soon! i love your music, I have a whole collection of your albums.

  31. s.... s....

    I immediately got such a Nostalgic feeling from this record.

  32. J.... G....

    I'm not kidding, I had a vivid dream of swimming with conor in a pool JUST LIKE THIS about 10 years ago. And I recorded this. And now this album is released. Feels like a spiritual soulmate, how can we ever unite now? Deep feels.

  33. T.... T....

    Sorry about the loss of your brother Conor. Best of luck

    Es ist nicht, helles Augenaufpossen. Ich habe esschon immer vorgezogen, allein zu Arbeiten. Jetzt gilt es, das zu arden...

    Erros? Possivelmente?
    Dovrei preoccuparmi?

    Niciodată perfecta...

    reford19 is that Greek? Totally lost me bobo, sorry fucking wasted before noon. Reminds me of how Cyril and his bro ventured peacefully north and like white dudes after a November holiday and shit. Brown acid hitting hard now. Wallachia...?

    r.... ....

    It's German (It is not, bright eye-catching. I have preferred to always work alone. Now it is time to...) .... then Portuguese (Errors? Possibly?)... then Italian (Should I be worried?)... then Romanian (Never perfect....). I could recognize and translate most of the first three... knew the final one was a language that belonged to a country that used to be part of the Soviet Union but couldn't identify beyond that. Also your comment made me laugh very much. Wallachia became Romania!

  44. T.... ....

    It's really cool you share all your songs on youtube.
