Weave Room Blues Songtext
von Okkervil River

I was laid up in a blue bed
Talkin′ to the apparition
He was spittin' out his history
I was young and liked to listen
I would listen to the whispers

I was noticing my mother
Hang her hands into the water
Of a well where little pinchers
Snipped the tips of all her fingers
I was crying like a singer

And I went
"Ooh-la-la-la, ooh-la-la-la
Ooh-la-la-la, ooh-la-la-la
Ooh-la-la-la, ooh-la-la-la
Ooh-la-la-la, ooh-la-la-la
Ooh-la-la-la, ooh-la-la-la"


My friend′s a flash of red hair
And we took off all our clothes where
It was cool inside the closet
And the floor, it started pounding
As a kid had came across it

I was staring at a spider
Spinnin' out a silver wire
It was haulin' up a robin
That had broken from its brothers
We were singing to each other

And it went
"Ooh-la-la-la, ooh-la-la-la
Ooh-la-la-la, ooh-la-la-la
Ooh-la-la-la, ooh-la-la-la"

Well, a woman is a weaver (I am always sad to see her)
She is weepin′ when I leave her (carved it up from little squeezers)
And her still room is lonely (we can call up and tell her)
Little lonely bones inside it (is it cool inside the meadow?)
And the still room is quiet (there′s a little extra anthem)

Talking to the apparition (I had fallen by the petals)
On the morning I went missin' (I was staring at the feathers)
I was young and liked to listen (eyes and houses, little daughters)
I was starting to exist, then (I had awoken and had recovered)
At least, I hadn′t been before then (I was icy, and I was water)


He was sayin' what was missing (I was icy, and I was water)
I was trying to remember (but I hadn′t been before then)
I had just begun existing (and the universe was shaking)
I had walked out from the weather (as I saw my little sister)
I was missin' like a feather (we were singing to each other)

And she said
"Ooh-la-la-la, ooh-la-la-la
Ooh-la-la-la, ooh-la-la-la
Ooh-la-la-la, ooh-la-la-la
Ooh-la-la-la, ooh-la-la-la
Ooh-la-la-la, ooh-la-la-la"

She said
"Do you wanna, do you wanna
Do you wanna, do you wanna
Do you wanna, do you wanna
Do you wanna, do you wanna
Do you wanna, do you wanna sing?"

"Do you wanna, do you wanna
Do you wanna, do you wanna
Do you wanna, do you wanna
Do you wanna, do you wanna
Do you wanna, do you wanna sing?"
