okkervil river r.i.p. - okkervil river lyrics

hey, my little baby
pointing at the sky’s amazing
in the lake now
all of this sensation
and no sp-ce 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 sungl-sses
to the last m-ss 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 gl-ss
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
n0body 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 p-ss 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”
