| Song | Middleman |
| Artist | Bright Eyes |
| Album | Cassadaga |
| 作曲 : Conor Oberst | |
| I traveled though the atmosphere as a wall of feedback climbed | |
| The pegs were gold, the band was old, they played in half time | |
| Now every dream gets whittled down just like every fool gets wise | |
| You will never reap of any seed deprived of sunlight | |
| So I have become the Middleman | |
| The gray areas are mine | |
| The in-between, the absentee | |
| Is a beautiful disguise | |
| So I keep my footlights shining bright just like I keep my exits wide | |
| 'Cause I never know when it's time to go, it's too crowded now inside | |
| The dead can hide beneath the ground and the birds can always fly | |
| But the rest of us do what we must in constant compromise | |
| So I have become the Middleman | |
| The gray areas are fine | |
| The "I don't know," the "maybe so" | |
| Is the only real reply | |
| It is the only true reply |
