Okkervil River R.I.P. |
| Hey, my little baby |
| Pointing at the sky’s amazing |
| In the lake now |
| All of this sensation |
| And no space on earth to place it |
| Where it’s safe now |
| You’ve got a big day coming |
| A big day coming now |
| Gather, crowd, around me |
| In the gutter where you found me |
| Help me stand now |
| My body, it is aching |
| And my poor old heart is breaking |
| And I’m so freaked out |
| We’ve got a big chance coming |
| A big chance coming now |
| All the little Sadies |
| And the literary ladies |
| Wish me well now |
| A slob upon a plane that |
| Through the air is silver swaying |
| Into sundown |
| I hightail my cool haircut |
| Through the turnstiles of the airport |
| On the run now |
| Flip a couple hundred pages |
| I was turning thirty-eight |
| I was a horrible sight |
| You’ve got a bad day coming |
| A sad day coming now |
| I’ll wear a white suit and black sunglasses |
| To the last mass now |
| Okay |
| Then give me one last kiss |
| In your pink silk dress, I guess |
| Said, «I have lost all will to» |
| With my face pressed against your breast |
| And I have pilfered the king’s pills |
| From the palace medicine chest |
| I cried a quart of crocodile tears |
| Onto Alison N’s pink champagne glass |
| I was escorted from the premises |
| For being a mess |
| And it’s just like when Sean Howe told me |
| How the Force MDs died |
| Lou Gehrig’s disease laid T.C.D. |
| low |
| Mercury had a heart attack back in '95 |
| And where DJ Doctor Rock went |
| Nobody knows |
| I see my grandfather, T. Holmes «Bud» Moore |
| Laid up in his hospital clothes |
| But I think about Judee Sill dying in some trailer park |
| Out of cocaine and codeine all alone |
| It was a big waste |
| Brother, such a big waste |
| Yeah, I know |
| They had some great songs |
| Must have been a great time |
| So long ago |
| But I didn’t open up my mouth |
| Just to piss and moan |
| No way |
| All the air is glittering |
| I went and hit the |
| Skating rink alone now |
| I watched the kids all skim across the ice |
| They look so nice |
| It was so cold out |
| And then I coughed into my cupped hands |
| And crossed the rink so I could hear the band |
| Two guitars, a drummer |
| A chick singer with a Kurzweil |
| On a keyboard stand |
| And I said, «Play that cover» |
| I said, «Play that cover song again» |
