I Was Born In Omaha Lyrics

I was born in Omaha
In my mother's tired arms
After all our fight was gone
I bet it felt good just to lie there
Drinking in the warm lights
And breathing through the tubes
As our lovers filled the room with conversation
I was named to bear you like
A float in a parade
My piano fingers tugging at the chord
And so much extra skin
That I still can't fill it in
Wonder whose it could have been
'Cause it don't fit me comfortably
And the nurses stopping in
To see that you are fine
To open up the blinds
And shower you with sunshine
I was born in Omaha
To steal her skeptic heart
My piano fingers tugging at the chord
'Cause life in a bubble can be
The sweetest thing sometimes
With the world just passing by
Outside your window
Dream over

The Gloria Record, an indie rock / midwest emo band from Austin, Texas, was a project of former Mineral vocalist Chris Simpson and bassist Jeremy Gomez, along with Brian Hubbard (guitar), Brian Malone (drums) and Ben Houtman (keyboards).

Starting with a single, Grace, the Snow is Here (1998), the band progressed to an eponymous EP (also 1998), followed by A Lull In Traffic (2000, another EP) followed by their first full-length album, Start Here in 2002.

Mineral was definitely firmly ensconced in the Emo genre, but The Gloria Record is a bit more of a crossover, with much more in the way of mainstream rock/pop influence; the mood, though, is definitely downbeat.

The Gloria Record disbanded in the spring of 2004, with Gomez and Hubbard going on to perform with Austin's "Glass Family" and Chris Simpson pursuing solo projects under the name Zookeeper.
