Okkervil River Lyrics
For the Enemy
Oh, my enemy, you've got company, you're not alone. They're watching over me
while each town you pass fades as it folds. So in the night we might get lost in
our fright. So in the day softly we'd flow, floating away. And it pours from the
faucet's mouth like our fortune comes flowing out - every word of which, without
a doubt, will find us together and together bring us down. They'll tie us down
with those fine thin threads and run their knives up and down our skin, until
what was in will be out again, above the sea on that sunny ledge. And in the day
softly we'll flow, floating away. And in the night we will get lost, lost in our
fright. La la la la la la.
