Okkervil River R.I.P.

Hey my little baby

Pointing at the sky's amazing in the lake now

All of this sensation in the space on earth to place it where it's safe now

You've got a big day coming, a big day coming nowGather crowd around me

In the gutter where you found me

It will stand nowMy 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 nowAll the little Sadie's and the literary ladies wish me well now

A slob upon a plane that through the air is silver swaying into sun now

I hightail my cool hair cut through the turnstiles of the airports on the run now

Flip a couple hundred pages, I was turning 38, I was a horrible sight

You've got a bad day coming

A sad day coming nowI'll wear a white suit and black sunglasses to the last match now

Okay.Then give me one last kiss in your pink silk dress, I guess

Said I have lost all will, oh with my face pressed against your breast

And I had pill for the kings, pills from palace medicine chest

I cried a quarter crocodile tears onto Allison Anne's pink champagne glass

I was escorted from the premises for being a mess

And it's just like when Shawn had told me how to force seventy's times

Lou Gehrig's disease, laid TCD, low mercury had a heart attack back in '95

And when DJ Doctor Rock when nobody knows

I'll see my grandfather, T Holmes, but more laid up in his hospital clothes

But I think about Judey still dying in some trailer park out cocaine and codeine unknown

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

Oh but I didn't open up my mouth just to piss and moan

No wayAll 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 curtsy, while on a keyboard stand

And I said play that cover, I said, play that cover song again

Enjoy the lyrics !!!
