Okkervil River - On Tour With Zykos Lyrics
He gets close, but I choke
Take your shit, take your clothes
And get out of my home
I want you to love me
Or I want you long gone
Hey, thanks John
Go sing songs, go rock on
Roll your crew on down the road
To the next sold out show
Think you can get up above me?
Well, I want you to know
You're a figure of fun to everyone
'Neath the lone star, neon blue broken sign
Like I wish you were mine
What a dumb thing to do
How come I shout "Goodbye"
When god knows I just want to
Make this white lie big enough
To climb inside with you
Another day, lost and gone
Clipping pages from the news for the senator's son
Well, he just strolls through the lobby
And glad-hands everyone
Another day, tossed and done
I go home, take off clothes
Smoke a bowl, watch a whole TV movie
I was supposed to be writing
The most beautiful poems
And completely revealing
Divine mysteries up close
I can't say that I'm feeling
All that much at all
At 27 years old
I'm discussed with desire by the guys who conspire
At the only decent bar in town
And they drink MGD's
And they wish they had me
Like I wish I had fire
What a sad way to be
What a girl who got tired
So, I wonder who you got your hooks in tonight
Was she happy to be hooked and on your arm?
Did she feel alive?
Her head all light

Okkervil River On Tour With Zykos Comments
To be honest I've never heard a male singer perform in a female perspective so honest so I was confused at first but still, I keep returning to this song because I love the story that it tells. And everytime he sings "What a girl that got tired" it freakin gets me ... :)
Great lyrics. But confusing.
reteipdevries how so
The ultimate bliss of a song (and of arts) is the chance she gives us to feel what we feel feeling it with the relief of feeling our feel together. With ourselves, with someone else succeed in translating into words and images and with everybody who feel the same.
They wish they had me like I wish I had fire
60 up-votes? This must be the single most under-appreciated thing on the whole internet.
I wish you were mine
"God knows I just want to make this white lie big enough to climb inside with you" truest words ever spoke.
This is, if it isn't my favorite, one of the Okkervil tracks which is most meaningful to me. It's beautiful.
