The War Criminal Rises and Speaks - Okkervil River[00:00:00]

The heart wants to feel[00:00:06]

The heart wants to hold[00:00:10]

The heart takes past subway past stop and shop past[00:00:15]

Beal's and calls it coming home[00:00:18]

The heart wants a[00:00:23]

Trail away from alone[00:00:24]

So the heart turns a sale into a well worn[00:00:31]

Milestone[00:00:37]

The heart wants soft furniture[00:00:39]

Fought for fast food[00:00:43]

Defended end table that holds paperbacks and back us news[00:00:47]

The mind turns an itch into a bruise[00:00:55]

And the hands start to twitch and they're feeling ill[00:01:02]

Used[00:01:08]

But you're almost back now you can see by the signs[00:01:09]

From the bank you tell the temperature and then the[00:01:17]

Time and the billboard reads some headlines[00:01:20]

The head wants to turn to avert both it's eyes[00:01:25]

But the mind wants to learn of some truth that[00:01:33]

Might be inside reported crimes[00:01:37]

They found a lieutenant[00:01:41]

Killed a village of kids[00:01:45]

After finishing off the wives he wiped off his knife[00:01:49]

That's what he did[00:01:53]

And they're not claiming that there's any excusing it[00:01:56]

That was thirty years back and they just get paid[00:02:04]

For the facts the way they got them in[00:02:08]

Now he's rising and not denying his hands are shaking[00:02:12]

But he's not crying[00:02:17]

And he's saying how did I climb out of a[00:02:19]

Life so boring into that moment[00:02:22]

Please stop ignoring the heart inside oh you readers at home[00:02:26]

While you gasp at my bloody crimes please take the[00:02:33]

Time make your heart home[00:02:37]

Where I'm forgiven by time where I'm cushioned by hope[00:02:40]

Numbed by long drives where I'm talked off or doped[00:02:48]

The heart wants to atone oh I believe that it's so[00:02:55]

Because if I could climb I'd restore[00:03:02]

Their lives back my own[00:03:05]

Tens of times now it's size on a far distant road[00:03:09]

In a far distant time where every night I'm still[00:03:15]

Crying entirely alone[00:03:19]

But the news today always fades away as you drive by[00:03:23]

Until at dinnertime when you look into her eyes[00:03:30]

Lit by evening sun that as usual comes from above[00:03:38]

That straight unbroken line[00:03:43]

The horizon it's rising is a given[00:03:47]

Just like your living[00:04:01]

Your heart's warm and kind your mind is[00:04:08]

Your own[00:04:14]

So our blood spattered criminal is inscrutable don't worry he[00:04:16]

Won't[00:04:22]

Rise up behind your eyes and take wild control[00:04:23]

Say he's not of this time[00:04:31]

He fell out of a hole[00:04:35]
