Lyrics
This morning I heard a song so bad
a rhyme so poor it hurt my head
a melody circular as a snake chewing on its own tail.
and the words were all about you dear.
The words were all about you dear.
The words were all about you dear
of course.
And people gathered in the street
to agitate for what they want:
in the cold their chanted desires were visible puffs of steam.
And their wants and needs were totally clear
but I couldn't or else I wouldn't hear
unless they were talking about you dear
of course.
But it sure is peaceful without you in Nebraska.
No one thinks about you in Nebraska.
It sure is peaceful
without you.
They say this winter will be warm
as if they could predict the future
based on what they knew about the past.
It'd be nice if that were true dear
nice if that were true dear
nice if that were true dear
for us.
My little room is safe and warm
my little town is big enough
to fill my hands, to fill my head, to fill my every hour.
And when each hour's finally through
each soul has had its worth, it's true
they're just not worth as much as you
of course.
But it sure is peaceful without you in Nebraska.
No one thinks about you in Nebraska.
It sure is peaceful
without you.
