《Starry Stairs》歌词

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

[00:00:17] They ask for more

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

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

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

[00:00:32] Before I lost it

[00:00:35] They ask for blood

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

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

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

[00:00:51] And I crossed it

[00:00:53] I'm alive

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

[00:02:27] Oh what a trip

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

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

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

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

[00:02:45] When my life ripped

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

[00:03:35] Oh no no

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

[00:03:40] Oh oh
