unless it's kicks
okkervil river
what gives this mess some grace unless it's kicks
unless it's sweat or it's songs?
what hits against this chest unless it's a sick man's hand
from some midlevel band? he's been driving too long
with the towns flying by and the ground getting soft
it surrounds you and sighs and is whispering of
what pulls your body down
before your mouth's all filled up
what picks you up from down unless it's tricks
when i've been fixed i am convinced that i will not get so broke up again
punches right through my mind and just hums through my blood
but i'll still give my love
my heart's on the line for your hands to pluck off
what gives this mess some grace unless it's fiction
unless it's lies or it's love?
what breaks this heart the most is the ghost of some rock and roll fan
floating up from the stands with her heart opened up
