Eels - Last Stop: This Town Lyrics






You're dead but the world keeps spinning
Take a spin through the world you left
It's getting dark a little too early
Are you missing the dearly bereft?

Taking flight and you could be
Here tomorrow
Taking flight, well, you could get
Here tonight

I'm gonna fly on down for the
Last stop to this town
What?
I'm gonna fly on down then fly away
Well, alright

Get down

Taking a spin through the neighborhood
The neighbors scream
Whatchya talkin' bout?
'cause they don't know how to
Let you in
And i can't let you out

What if i was not your only friend
In this world
Can you take me where you're going
If you're never coming back

I'm gonna fly on down for the
Last stop to this town
I'm gonna fly on down
Then fly away on my way

Get down

Why don't we take a ride
Away up high
Through the neighborhood
Up over the billboards and the factories
And smoke

I'm gonna fly on down for the
Last stop to this town
Yeah
I'm gonna fly on down
Then fly away on my way
Fly away

Get down

  10. B.... ....

    "I feel like she's here with me now; even though she's dead".

  11. B.... ....

  21. R.... ?....

    Very Beck..... and I like Beck.

  22. C.... C....

    The eels..what can one say? Either their songs were really magical and made you feel or their songs were really bizarre and disconnected. I lived in silverlake when they were hitting their peak music wise and I know where alot the inspiration comes from. In fact my favorite thing to do was ride my bike early in the mornings around silverlake listening to the eels on my Walkman.

  23. R.... F....

    *Obligatory 'I wish I was alive in the 90's comment'*

    R.... F....

    Rob Fraser chin up lad, the 90's were ok, buying CDs, watching MTV, grunge, britpop, take that, the spice girls, emails, MTV2, blur vs oasis, Kilroy, Man United, CGI first being used in films, PlayStation, OK Computer etc and not Woke at all. Boomers? It was a weird time. Sorry for talking rubbish, thought you might find my channel interesting! Peace

  24. D.... M....

    this videoclip brings me peace

  25. M.... ....

    Very Wes Anderson-y.

  26. O.... ....

    One of my all time favorite songs. And one of my favorite videos. Love reliving the 'old days' by watching this.

  27. s.... p....

    this song is like part classical. altrock, psychedelic with a hip hop beat Outstanding!!

  28. D.... ....

    Nominated for a 1999 MTV Video Music Award in "Breakthrough Video" category, work done by the absolutely phenomenal Hammer & Tongs crew. '90s were truly a magical time to live in.

  29. M.... B....

    Still great after all those years !

  30. M.... R....

    Italiani???

  31. s.... ....

    Thanks Mr E for being Mr E; and the fucking amazing band of course. Gratitude, may just begin with recognising or feeling (music), or wondering about the wonderful, wonderfulness right here under our very noses. Even if some of us may look or feel misshapen.

  32. T.... R....

    Sounds like they used a sample form the "Pixies Where Is My Mind" on this track.... Plus did anyone else catch the Top Of The Pops performance they did for Novocaine where they played on mini instruments? Had that on VHS, watched it to death but long gone now unfortunately. Band with real character and talent.

    T.... R....

    Tom Robinson ... It's brilliant .. ➡️ https://youtu.be/wDwO1hECw9M
    Quality isn't the best .. But who cares .. It's a must see ..

  33. W.... ....

    This was one of those songs that could have only come out of the 90's: this sort of experimental mishmash of genres with lyrical stylings that were nothing more than brief statements that sort of had tenuous connections to one another. It's hard to know if music will ever be that creative ever again, but I'm glad I lived through it.

    W.... ....

    WolfysEyes creativity and innovation and weirdness are my things, been trying to reach out to people directly at random, see/hear what you think of my channels.. peace!

  34. G.... P....

    Omffg i'm in love

  35. D.... ....

    Really feeling this song right now

  36. Y.... L....

    ✳️¡ You're dead... But the world keeps spinnin'...✳️¡!¡ !¡! 🤩

    Y.... L....

    ✳️ Can you take me where you're going? ... If you're never coming back ✳️

  37. C.... L....

    Carrots are good for your cohesive self.

  38. A.... ....

    If anyone hasn't already, try out Buddy Holly's "Listen to Me" (1958). Could be a coincidence, but a key melody from "Last Stop: This Town" is pretty much identical to a melody in the Buddy Holly song, which is also perhaps a little melancholic.

    A.... ....

    I went and listened. You're right.

  39. F.... P....

    His facial expressions are adorable. Mark's not the carrot's.

  40. L.... D....

    *Apocalyptica En Vie in a nutshell*

  41. E.... A....

    A beautiful song that I continue to listen to and one of the nicest videos ever seen

  42. K.... M....

    LOVE this song.. so do my neighbour's....

  43. T.... W....

    Anyone here from the CogDis OST?

  44. G.... K....

    "Hey, so it just made this album. It's was made after everyone in my family died within a month of each other."
    "Okay, what should we do for the first video?"
    "I was thinking we make a clone of myself out of a carrot and giving it a robot body."

  45. F.... ....

    Another true story. My brother introduced me to Eels.. he said, hey listen to this cool song and band.... And i did... and fell in love. This day my brother is a memory, he died from an aneurysm 5 years ago. But i cannot listen to certain music without thinking of him... Eeels is for certain one of the artists. <3

  46. R.... M....

    Didn't realise they were responsible for the Aldi carrot.

  47. T.... T....

    If i remember right the song is about his sister who faded away far too early

  48. A.... V....

    That’s a pretty nice carrot you got there.

  49. W.... P....

    I was in 8th grade Christmas break . Stayed up all night and saw this .. forgot all about it . I need a time machine to go back to that time before all this internet mess took control

  50. F.... ....

    So i end up here again... thinking about my late brother... All good. Miss you mate and love you for the memories.

  51. b.... ....

    i'll come back to this song every 5-7 years - a timeless classic. I did not know its dark origins until now, 20 years later, just loved the song. knowing that adds something; conflict being one thing. the video has a talking carrot - I assumed it was silly. damn

  52. J.... B....

    "A toy robot?"
    "EAT LEAD, SUCKER!!"
    -inside Dr Klahn's secret labratory

  53. B.... D....

    Rob Schneider is......A CARROT!!

  54. A.... M....

  77. J.... Y....

    Who learned about the Eels through a movie?

  78. c.... j....

    onvideo skate

  79. s.... e....

    pourquoi un best of ? , tout est meilleure chez vous

  80. F.... P....

    Was his sister's death a sacrifice?

    F.... P....

    No, they're not illuminati / freemasons / secret society weirdo's.

    F.... P....

    Possibly correct

  81. H.... L....

    What memories, this video! Funny and at the same time poignant, since the song speaks of the singer's sister, unfortunately dead suicide.

  82. F.... ....

    Song might be called Last stop, this town... but this a a permanent stop for me. Reminding me of my late brother <3 Cheers mate.

    F.... ....

    sorry guy

  83. W.... r....

    banda divertida.

  84. B.... ....

    My favourite Eels song. Brings back so many happy memories too.

  85. D.... ....

    Who the fuck is this!? - Sincerely, the 90s

  86. F.... ....

    Life is a carousell... there is no particular meaning... we try to make it more than it is, but it is a blink of the eye... and then we are gone. And yet it is so hard to make something of it.

  87. J.... M....

    such a good video

  88. H.... I....

    _CogDis_ brought me here.

  89. M.... T....

    Beta carotene? Beta carotene.

  90. T.... O....

    Can this great (but sad) song actually be twenty years old now? It was very popular around Xmas of ‘98. Time truly does “fly away”.

  91. T.... R....

    very nice i like the melo dramathic sound

  92. J.... ....

    This and the rest of the album is so cathartic - it really helped me get through my mum dying (and my husband with his dad) - thanks so much.

  93. D.... G....

    What the hell did I just watch?

    D.... G....

    Dick Grimm its dark in here

  94. H.... F....

    Great song

  95. D.... C....

    This popped up in my Spotify Discover Weekly list and I've had it stuck in my head ever since. Little did I know until now that it had an AMAZING video to go with it.
