Modest Mouse Lyrics
"Dashboard"

Well, it would've been, could've been worse than you would ever know.
Oh, the dashboard melted, but we still had the radio.

Oh, it should've been, could have been worse than you would ever know.
Well, you told me 'bout nowhere well it sounds like someplace I'd like to go.

Oh, it could've been, should've been worse than you would ever know.
Well, the windshield was broken but I love the fresh air y'know.
(The dashboard melted but we still had the radio)

Oh, it would've been, could've been worse than you would ever know, oh!
(The dashboard melted but we still had the radio)
Oh, we talked about nothing which was more than I wanted you to know..
Now here we go!

Oh! It would've been, could've been worse than it had even gone.
Well, the car was on blocks, but I was already where I want.
(It was impossible, we ran it good, we ran it good)

Why should we ever even ever really even get to know?
(It was impossible, we ran it good, we ran it good)
Oh if the world don't like us it'll shake us just like we were a cold.
Now here we go!

Well we schemed and we schemed but we'd always blow it.
We've yet to crash, but still might as well tow it.
Standin' at a light switch to each east and west horizon,
Every dawn one yells, "Surprise," and the evening one's consoling,
Sayin', "See it wasn't quite as bad as.."
Well it would've been could've been worse than you would ever know.

I was patiently erasing and recording the wrong episodes.
After you had proved my point wrong, it wasn't like I'd let it go.
I just want to catch the last laugh of this show.

Well it would've been, could've been worse than you would ever know.
Oh, the dashboard melted, but we still had the radio.
(The dashboard melted, but we ran it good, we ran it good)

Hardwired to concieve, so much we had to stow it
Even needs have needs, tiny giants made of tinier giants.
Don't wear eyelids so I don't miss the last laugh of this show.
(The dashboard melted but we still had the radio)

Well it could've been, should've been worse than you would ever know.
(The dashboard melted but we still had the radio)
Well, you told me 'bout nowhere well it sounds like someplace I'd like to go.
Now here we go!

Well we schemed and we schemed but would always blow it.
We've yet to crash, but still might as well tow it.
Standin' at a light switch, to each east and west horizon.
Every dawn one yells, "Surprise," and in the evening one's consoling,
Sayin', "See it wasn't quite as bad as.."
Well It would've been, could've been worse than you would ever know.
