Obviously, a little more Wilco: What you once were isnt what you want to be any more

Last night my roommate and I headed to West Des Moines, IA after spending the weekend with her parents in Adel, IA. We were going to the last night of the 2008 Wilco "Sky Blue Sky" concert. This song has been performed at all four of the Wilco concerts I've attended and definitely is in my top 3, if not my favorite song they play. It's on the 1999 album "Summerteeth." I was 11 years old when this album popped on to the scene. Love it.

Wilco - A Shot In The Arm Lyrics

The ashtray says
You were up all night
When you went to bed
With your darkest mind
Your pillow wept
And covered your eyes
And you finally slept
While the sun caught fire

You've changed

We fell in love
In the key of C
We walked along
Down by the sea
You followed me down
The neck to D
And fell again
Into the sea

You changed
Oh, you've changed

Maybe all I need is a shot in the arm (x 7)
Something in my veins bloodier than blood (x 4)

The ashtray says
You were up all night
When you went to bed
With your darkest mind

You changed
Oh, you've changed

What you once were isnt what you want to be any more (x 5)
