pela cochlea: Okkervil River - It Was My Season
My mind was just revving.
Your eyes, they went hard.
Our parents were freaking,
But it was our season,
All that time ago.
Your dad is half sleeping.
But, really, he's gone.
Can you hear his VCR weeping?
They crossed his wires completely
When they made him fire that gun.
I'll say to you: to cut it off's to cut me down...
If they take me out of school, you out of town...
I called a friend, my world at end, my words unwound.
I said, "It's crashing down around our heads".
We're dumb. We're dead. Shut up about it now.
They say that I'll go to college
And you will stay home
And watch while I'm leaving,
And the cold will just creep in.
Oh, Jason, I know.
