Song About a Star - Okkervil River[00:00:00]

He cut your strings so that he could float[00:00:04]

Lit by lights lifted by alcohol[00:00:07]

Over acres of loving coast[00:00:10]

Far away from your lonely ghost[00:00:13]

Now he's cool and all[00:00:17]

Floating anchorless ports of call[00:00:19]

Where it's fabulous after all[00:00:22]

Of this watching himself just crawl[00:00:24]

Think you see him[00:00:29]

He's not there[00:00:31]

That's just light[00:00:32]

That's not yet dead[00:00:33]

Wait two hours[00:00:36]

And watch what'll be there instead[00:00:38]

Was he small and cold[00:00:42]

Like a ring you call up from home[00:00:45]

Held so tightly his limbs went numb[00:00:47]

Worn away between your finger and thumb[00:00:50]

Well now he's bought and sold[00:00:54]

Cry his call number down the phone[00:00:56]

He can't hear you he's on his float[00:00:59]

Waving down to the folks at home[00:01:01]

Think you see him[00:01:06]

He's not there[00:01:08]

That's just light[00:01:09]

That's not yet dead[00:01:10]

Wait two hours[00:01:13]

And watch what'll be there instead[00:01:15]

As the cameras love all of his faces[00:01:20]

They hide all the traces of you in his heart[00:01:23]

Stand in line to hold forth on his grace[00:01:26]

But you won't even get a head start[00:01:28]

Get a head start[00:01:32]

As his close up comes[00:01:46]

Cascading down from above[00:01:48]

The eyes of a nation in love[00:01:51]

Are looking on all of their hopes[00:01:54]

Held up[00:01:56]

And the words that some[00:01:57]

Screenwriter counted and chose[00:01:59]

And then set in their sequence and froze[00:02:02]

Unfreeze on his tongue as he speaks[00:02:05]

For all of us[00:02:07]

But one[00:02:09]

And honey he's gone[00:02:12]

And baby he's everyone's[00:02:14]

In the dark sky tonight[00:02:18]

Cast your eyes[00:02:20]

On the dim light[00:02:23]

That he will become[00:02:26]

You're just like everyone[00:02:28]

Who thinks they see him[00:02:32]

He's not there[00:02:35]

That's just light[00:02:36]

That's not yet dead[00:02:37]

Wait two hours[00:02:40]

And watch what'll be there instead[00:02:43]
