Текст пісні I Give Up - Daniel Johnston

I Give Up

I give up, I give up
I t-ried real hard
But now I give up
Now the sweat
Run down to my sock
Nothing left but a box in the ground
No one’s immune to burglary
When you stole my heart
I was charmed — at first
But then I realized
I was dying — of first
In the dessert of love
Like a trouper
With super-duper patience
I waited until everything had dried up in my wishing well
And it’s been hell
Believe me — that
A farmer in the dell
Plagued by a bat
And your mysterious smile
Magnificently re-created
In my mind for quite some time
And I hung on
Hoping for a mira-cle
Or a medal for my emotional — bravery, yes
Just like Davy Crockett
At the — Alamo
When that bullet hit him
He knew he had to go
So, I give up, I give up
I tried real hard
But now I give up
