okkervil river r.i.p.

hey

my little baby

pointing at the sky's amazing

in the lake now

all of this sensation

and no space 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 slab upon a plane that

through the air is silver swaying

into sun now

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 'round

i'll wear a white suit and black sunglasses

to the last mass now

okay

then give me one last kiss

in your pink silk dress

i guess

said

i have lost all will to"
