Black Nemo Lyrics - The Silver Gymnasium - Okkervil River

Marine monster stuck in Indian summers 

And damns on the line but funny is the photo 

It's floating away, going away on the tide 

Crystalized wished like kids cried for Christmases 

Ticking off lists with the pens and the fists 

Before floating way, going away on the tide 

On the back of a beast and in that charge 

Down a broken beach, the little stars 

They spin the shots, the shards light on down 

To the mouth of the sea and the morning comes 

And in they carve the edge of the world 

And the locks of fire go lying around 

What when you heard it say forward first 

Transfer through the person, a mystical blur 

Got you going away, floating away on the tide 

Everybody ran basements, and pit falling caves 

And crackling tapes cause faints 

Well, this songs means I'm going away, I'm floating away on the tide 

Down the bloody beach with a burnt out car 

So little I see, there are slicked out stars 

All screaming for a distant, high roof 

And the fizzed out snow, look out, folks scream 

And saw a broken ghost in an old soap scene 

' out, follow my rules 

I had a vision of everything hidden 

But always around me, it fought me, it found me 

While floating away, going away on the tide 

Shooting through time while my eyes getting glassy 

And land while I watched seasons rocketing past me 

They're going away, a little more every day, all the time 

On the balcony in the brilliant sea where 'need 

A voice spoke to me and said these things just gotta be 

I don't know why, and I said here's to the freeway flasher 

Here's to the desperate dasher, gone, I'mma keep him from crashing on 

And stay one, I know you think you miss him 

I know you think you knew him 

But you were just passing through the light 

And he is leaving now, he's gone
