Coat Check Dream Song Lyrics - Bright Eyes

Shrill as a choir of children 

Urgent like the first day of May 

False and inflatable feeling 

Tugs at my senses, big as the Macy's Parade 

One brick on top of another 

Such is the measure of man 

Planets are inset like diamonds 

On a gravity halo, eternity's wedding band 

I slept with that dealer all summer 

The ecstasy is still in my spine 

Coat check I couldn't remember 

Walked into the winter, came out on the other side 

And in the South the sun is shining 

Back in the East the lights went out 

Stuck on a ladder to heaven 

On trial way back in the Hague 

Lullaby sounds from the engine 

In my Styrofoam coffin, asleep on the interstate 

Black globes, old symbols of freedom 

A murderer still on the lam 

Cities encircled in iron 

On a great silver beltway, democracy's shackled hands 

Séance that brought us together 

Objects we move with our minds 

Coat check and I lost the number 

Short sleeves in the winter, fell back through the other side 

Out in the West the cars are crashing 

Up in the North the ice gave out
