Westfall [Northampton, 2006] Songtext
von Okkervil River

I′m surrounded, each doorway covered
By at least 20 men
They're going to take me, throw me in prison
I ain′t coming back again
I ain't coming back again

When I was younger, handsomer and stronger
I felt like I could do anything
All of these people making all these faces
Didn't seem like my kith and kin
Didn′t seem like my kith and kin, kith and kin

Colin Kincaid from the 12th grade
Guess you could say he was my best friend
Lived in a big tall house out on Westfall
Where we would hide when the rain rolled in
Where we would hide when the rain rolled in


We went out one night and took a flashlight
Out with these two girls that Colin knew from Kenwood Christian
One was named Laurie, that′s what the story
Said next week in the Guardian
Said next week in the Guardian

And when I killed her it was so easy
What did I want to do but (to kill her again)
I got down on both of my knees and
She ain't coming back again
She ain′t coming back again
Ra-ra-ra-ra-ra, ra-ra-ra-ra-ra

Now, with all these cameras that focused on my face
It's like you would think they could see it through my skin
And they′re looking for evil, they think that they can trace it, but get this
Evil don't look like anything
Evil don′t look like anything

Well, evil (evil don't look like anything)
What it should (evil don't look like anything)
Don′t look like anything (evil don′t look like anything)
Look like anything (evil don't look like anything)

Evil don′t look like anything
Anything, nothing, something (evil don't look like anything)
