letra de the dream and the light (the first take) - okkervil river
[intro: spoken]
let’s just roll on it. all right, we’re rolling, i guess. everybody ready? i’ll count it off. one, two, three.
[verse 1]
a limousine
to the infusion suite
down a rainy street
early dawn
eyes that sweep
skin that feels
and the swish of wheels
and the radio
[chorus 1]
all the feeling we shared on the car ride
all the fear that was there on the other side
all those that were spared
oh, and those that we left out to die
[verse 2]
you fell from the nest
in your suicide vest
you tapped a decree
from your side of the screen
it’s father’s day
for the father in me
oh, bachelor prince
oh, brain on two feet
[chorus 2]
oh, master of wandering meat
all ghost-faced in oxidized green
increasingly inward-involved
and cut off from the scene
[bridge 1]
and you coughed through the car park
leaked through a slug in your lung
the day wasted away
tv sang its lonely song
[verse 3]
our dream was born dead
we thought it was shared
ah, we thought that it ran
laughing across the beach
lit by shine of the sea
made for you and for me
ah, but we were deceived
because what was the dream?
[chorus 3]
it was wired to explode in the city square
it was drugs they dropped into your drink
it was dread, it was doubt
it was never about what you think
[bridge 2]
and we walked through the ballpark
all the fans had gone home
the night breathed like a dream
the air sung like a song
[verse 4]
raised from the dead
in the benz back seat
i encountered the magazine king
he was wearing that old high school ring
[chorus 4]
ah, to see the aggressor with clarity
in the early-morning obliviated light
ah, to hear his confederates whisper
“just don’t even fight”
“ah, well met, well met, well met,” said he
“now you’re part of the parasite family
only living because of our charity
hearing screams down the street
though it seems you can sleep through the night”
[instrumental]
[verse 5]
i bit my nails until blood
walked alone with my phone
it was p-ssing down rain
i was more than alone
oh, and your label friend
he was stoned, it was quiet
that dumb look on his face
down from greenpoint he came
[chorus 5]
with the agency creation has gifted me
what am i gonna do with my poor body
ah, but take it and use it
and place it upon some front line?
[outro]
maker of light
you are made of light
maker of love
you are made of love
oh, maker of light
you are made of light, made of light
oh, maker of love
to be made of love
oh, maker of light
you are made of light, made of light, made of light
oh, maker of love
to be made of love
[spoken]
fun!
