[ti:Where the Spirit Left Us] |
|
[ar:Okkervil River] |
| [00:03.05] |
Through the wall in a soft spring rustle |
| [00:08.93] |
Street-side selling some summer hustle |
| [00:14.79] |
And across the Maple Street Bridge |
| [00:17.82] |
In a bristling fall just whistling |
| [00:22.09] |
All's a balled-up riddle just a high snowball on a curve-and-fall |
| [00:33.13] |
Through a parking lot at Christmas |
| [00:39.46] |
I heard her whisper I heard him call |
| [00:45.43] |
Here's what the gist was: |
| [00:49.82] |
|
| [00:50.40] |
Only wary in our lives- |
| [00:53.78] |
Open-eyed and half-ashamed that is to say |
| [01:01.04] |
|
| [01:02.42] |
A float on a ferry freezing tired fully wired a total waste |
| [01:08.86] |
|
| [01:09.99] |
That's where the spirit left us |
| [01:13.33] |
Underneath the house just like a flameout teen |
| [01:18.67] |
|
| [01:19.54] |
Who smells like sweat and gasoline |
| [01:23.68] |
Kid I stand with you |
| [01:26.07] |
And when you get hard and your eyes get mean |
| [01:31.61] |
Because you're on the march |
| [01:34.12] |
Well I could almost kiss you |
| [01:37.52] |
Don't let them twist you |
| [01:40.89] |
Here have this song- you can take it with you: |
| [01:48.19] |
|
| [01:49.25] |
Stay lonely open-wide |
| [01:50.94] |
|
| [01:52.08] |
Your eyes all fire your mind aflame |
| [01:56.33] |
Don't be disgraced |
| [02:00.88] |
Loose of limb unlionized while all liars fade to grey |
| [02:08.55] |
I know you feel detested |
| [02:13.30] |
|
| [02:27.20] |
Did a silence drop Did your walkman stop |
| [02:33.13] |
Did the air turn cold Was the message just so close |
| [02:38.96] |
Oh but did you choke it Oh kid I know |
| [02:44.58] |
I know where this is going |
| [02:48.40] |
Because we always blow it |
| [02:53.62] |
Only wary in our lives - |
| [02:56.79] |
Open-eyed and half-ashamed |
| [03:00.86] |
It's just that way |
| [03:04.24] |
|
| [03:05.36] |
Afloat down that river freezing tired fully wired a total waste |
| [03:12.87] |
That's where the spirit left us |
| [03:18.35] |
Only wary in our lives |
| [03:21.11] |
Your eyes all fire your mind aflame |
| [03:25.21] |
And don't be dismayed |
| [03:29.96] |
When this sobbing world goes screaming by |
| [03:33.02] |
I swear that if I had my way |
| [03:37.36] |
You know I would have blessed it |
