Okkervil River - In The Thick Of It lyrics

Artist: Okkervil River

album: Nothing Special


Smooth-sailing kids
Not a thought in their heads
The world in a darling dumb daze
Gold, gilt, and glitter
And burgundy waves
You give me a dollar
I'll do some or all
Of my perfectly middlebrow blues
I'm painting my album in ivory hues
It's a dance you do in the thick of it
It's a dance you do in the thick of it
♪
Shattered my hand
On the old baby grand
After six months it had healed
They cut off my cast
And a path was revealed
It's a dance you do in the thick of it
It's a dance you do in the thick of it
♪
Don't call the curtain
We're doing it all the way
♪
I was only sixteen
But I know what you mean
I breathed out a column of smoke
You screamed like a demon
Alone in your truck
Now, my dear friend
Guess we're back here again
Pinned by unbearable pain
But my soul knows it's surfing a variable wave
Wave
♪
Outside the rest home
The sun sets, it gets cold
The snow is a sudden surprise
And baby, the earth is the love of our lives
I'm thinking of taking that Oceanside walk
Making my way to the end of the dock
There to rock under runaway skies
It's a dance you do in the thick of it
You already know where your feet go
(You don't have to think of it)
It's a dance you do (in the thick of it)
Don't call the curtain
We're doing it all the way
Don't call the curtain
We're doing it all the way
Nothing is certain
We're dancing another day
