Hanging From A Hit Lyrics - I Am Very Far - Okkervil River

What this night wants is what it gets 

Strung in silken knots 

Lit by cigarettes flaring side by side, 

With the streets all wet, 

As the only thing that's bright. 

And I don't need to cross that bridge 

I find I'm swinging or sailing over the pit tonight 

I'm hanging from a hit tonight 

Was wild enough to order up and toss across my lips 

What's making all my tears 

Is taking all my fears away 

But I don't need to cry 

Because now I'm clear

A moth that's swerving through the sage 

A creature crashing from a cage 

A shadow vaporized by a new sun ray 

A day she spends the night 

And I can hear her sighing 

As she's almost asleep on one side 

I lie back on my pillow 

And ask what her husband is like 

And she says, "I smile polite, 

And I tip and tithe, 

And I see the sights with a well-trained eye. 

But I calmly cry, 

Because I'm too much mine without him. 

And I lie, reclined where the room is quiet, 

And it's quiet at night. 

The soft silk is fine 

And the waves are white, 

But the wind has died without him. 

Photos 

And I scream my smiles, 

And I want my wires and I need my stripes. 

And I read the lines until I lid my eyes, 

And I'm losing time without him. 

And she says, 

And I ignite inside 

And I flash with fire 

And I limp from life 

And I'm blazing blind 

And I'm surging live 

And give up my mind 

When with him. 

And then every dream inside 

Turns to flames, fades to grey and is dying 

And the smoke rises into 

A white, blank, bare, broke-open sky.
