Lyrics A Favor - Okkervil River

A Favor

Rapt in Star Wars sheets
With my hand across your belly
We waded through the watercolor
We waded through the watercolor
And drunk in your parents' house
Junk coming out of your mouth
We were buried in the ice sculpture
We were buried in the ice sculpture
And you said
I would be anything that you wanted me to be
I would be anything that you wanted me to be
I would be anything that you wanted me to be
But how could I change my body?
I love that picture that your mother stole
Dad holds out the tiny piece he’ll release from his soul
Before he flew up in the helicopter
Before he swooped down as a door gunner
Before God gave him the favor
That meant he isn’t getting others
He said
I would be anything that he asked me to be
I would be anything that he asked me to be
In the line of duty
You can see into me
Do you want the new me?
Wanna get inside me?
Do you want the new me?
Wanna get inside me?
Do you want the new me?
But how could I change my body?
