For Real [Austin, 2007] Songtext
von Okkervil River

Some nights I thirst for real blood
For real knives, for real cries
And then the flash of steel from real guns
In real life really fills my mind

Then I really miss what really did exist
When I held your throat so tight
And I miss the bus as it swerved from us
Almost came crashing to our side

Some nights the blood from real cuts
Feels real nice when it′s really mine
And if you want it to be real
Come over for one night
And we can really, really climb

Those blue bridge lights
Might really burn most bright
When we watch that dark lake rise
If you really wanna see
What really matters most to me
Just take a real short drive


It's just a drive into a dark stretch
The long stretch of night
Really stretch this shaking mind
And this room, unlit, unheated
And the ceiling striped
And the dark black blinds
I wanna know this time

So I can know you′re mine
And really know that you're not lying
Well, I wanna see you try
I don't wanna hear you say
It shouldn′t really be this way
Because I like this way just fine

′Cause there's nothing quite like
The blinding light
When that curtain is cast aside
No attempt is made to explain away
The things that really, really, really, really, really are behind

You can′t hide, you can't hide, you can′t hide
You can't hide, you can′t hide, you can't hide, oh

Thank you so much
