Lido Pier Suicide Car - Okkervil River

I thought I saw my god

Through phrase and a ton of blood

And somehow tipped each club

And half completes the half

The things I thought about

The riches who die

I’ve gone so far away now, kid

From coast to coast to far beyond

The waves rose in the gasps

Now all the else to see

Starships shifting in the crack

They don’t believe that stuff I’m bound to be

I gotta leave, I can’t come back

Lido Pier suicide car,

Lido Pier suicide car

Lido Pier suicide car

Said it’s a straight,

short drive to a life full of stars

At first it seemed a little speck

And that seems a little mess

We took our drinks out to the deck

We watched that silver light track

We flew over the hills, the harbor boat

Over the wake would flash and spray

We watched a chimp, that jag, that jaguar

We watched our old friends fall away

My heart feeling away to watch our little town see that

I know it wasn’t far, we’re leaving, oh, really we’re leaving

Lido Pier suicide car,

Lido Pier suicide car

Lido Pier suicide car,

Lido Pier suicide, suicide

Lido Pier suicide car

Said he’s a red lad hand shaker, he’s a steward of the land

And washes heroes blood, he’s the lodger of

trying to make a grand

But he catches me and freezes, see, to leave me or to laugh

Says he’s gonna break my band

I just have to take that hand and put it down

And can you hear the shouting?

I’ll be there acting a hundred

I’m so used to boys

what did he say about a

Lido Pier suicide car,

Lido Pier suicide car

Lido Pier suicide, suicide car
