Okkervil River - O, Dana Lyrics






I'd rather shoot a woman than a man
I worry whether this is my last life
And girl, if you're listening
I'm sorry, I can't help it
O Dana, O Dana, come on

I'm forevermore fighting with Steven
We do our goo-goo coos
But we know Overboard and down
And strung out twice
O Dana, O Dana, come on
O Dana, O Dana, come on (Come on!)

We seldom know what things are
Two illusions go very far
O Dana, O Dana, come on

I got busted along the bridge
They rounded up every soul
But now I'm on the East Side
She says, "Don't give a girl a chance"
She's not afraid to take a chance
O Dana, O Dana, come on
O Dana, O Dana, come on (Come on!)

She's got a magic wand
That says play with yourself before other ones
O Dana, O Dana, come on
O Dana, O Dana, come on (Come on!)
O Dana, O Dana, come on (Come on!)
O Dana, Dana, come on (Come on!)

    Wow, didn't know this existed. Love both of these bands, great cover!

  2. L.... C....

    Ken May, or whoever may still be wondering what "O, Dana" is about, it's a collection of things that an Ardent Studios secretary named Diana (not Dana) would say around the office. Apparently she said some bizarre things, and Alex Chilton turned them into a song.

    L.... C....

    good to know I was always wondering specifically about the magic wand line... always thought it was referring to a vibrator haha

  3. C.... W....

    Love OR, love Big Star! Great cover.
    Two highly under rated bands imho.

  4. K.... M....

    Love this song! But what in the hell is it about?

  5. t.... ....

    Great band pays tribute to a greater one. And I really don't give a shit anymore if no-one else knows. Fck'em there are always a million idiots.
