Starry Stairs - Okkervil River[00:00:00]

They ask for more[00:00:17]

What do you think this fan club is for[00:00:19]

I slithered up each rose corridor[00:00:23]

I kept a warm safe place at my core[00:00:28]

Before I lost it[00:00:32]

They ask for blood[00:00:35]

What do you think this woman's made of[00:00:37]

I stuck a small thin pin in my thumb[00:00:41]

They dreamt a low long line to be crossed[00:00:46]

And I crossed it[00:00:51]

I'm alive[00:00:53]

But a different kind of alive[00:00:55]

Than the way I used to be[00:01:00]

I retire to a split white smile to be seen[00:01:06]

In some old stag magazine[00:01:13]

And this girl's eyes[00:01:19]

When they were roughly wrenched open[00:01:21]

I could see a starry stair up your thigh[00:01:24]

You hid behind your hair[00:01:30]

Oh but I saw you smiling[00:01:32]

While all these guys all these curious sets of eyes[00:01:37]

Safe behind a tv screen[00:01:43]

I let them pry pick apart and hang up to dry[00:01:50]

Almost every piece of me[00:01:57]

If you don't love me I'm sorry[00:02:07]

Oh what a trip[00:02:27]

Oh what a shimmering silver ship[00:02:30]

Oh what a hot half-life I half lived[00:02:34]

Oh and the stripes and stars[00:02:38]

How they stripped off the siding[00:02:41]

When my life ripped[00:02:45]

Off from the part that played as a kid[00:02:47]

Into the part that plays through your lips[00:02:51]

To find a warm safe place and sit curled up inside it[00:02:56]

So here's goodbye[00:03:03]

From the part that's staying behind[00:03:05]

To the part that has to leave[00:03:09]

To the sublime lips that were never spoiled by lying[00:03:16]

But to the face inside the being[00:03:23]

Who wasn't me[00:03:29]

Who wasn't me[00:03:33]

Oh no no[00:03:35]

She's not me[00:03:37]

Oh oh[00:03:40]
