okkervil river - unless it's kicks (live from rees-haldern, 2008) lyrics

[intro]
we love you
we’re gonna play one last song for you
this is a song about this moment right now, you and me
and we’re gonna need some of that german clapping i was seeing earlier
i’ll show you what to do
everybody in the back too

[verse 1]
what gives this mess some grace unless it’s kicks, man
unless it’s fictions, unless it’s sweat or it’s songs?
what hits against this chest unless it’s a sick man’s hand
from some mid+level band? he’s been driving too long

[verse 2]
on a dark windless night, with the stereo on
with the towns flying by and the ground getting soft
and a sound in the sky, coming down from above
it surrounds you and sighs and is whispering of

[verse 3]
what pulls your body down, i call that, i call that, i call that quicksand
so you should climb out quick, hand over hand over hand beforе your mouth’s all filled up
what picks you up from down unless it’s little tricks, man?
whеn i’ve been fixed i am convinced that i will not get so broke up again
[verse 4]
and on a seven day high, that heavenly song
punches right through my mind and just hums through my blood
and i know it’s a lie, but i’ll still give my love
hey, my heart’s on the line for your hands to pluck off, yeah

[interlude]
i wanna see all of your hands
in the back, i wanna see all of your hands
over there, i wanna see all of your hands
i wanna see all of your hands
this afternoon we’re all here, and your hands
all of them up ’cause who’s with me? who’s with me? who’s with me right now?
everybody’s f+cking hands up
up, everybody’s hands up right now
hands up
hands up

[verse 5]
’cause what gives this mess some grace unless it’s fictions
unless it’s l!cks, man, unless it’s lies or it’s love?
and what breaks this heart the most, that’s the ghost of some rock ‘n’ roll fan
while she’s floating up from the stands, her big red heart straight opened up

[verse 6]
“and your love isn’t lost”, i say
“and my heart is still crossed”, and i say
“hey, you’re so wonderful
what a dream in the dark
about working so hard
about growing so stoned
trying not to turn off
trying not to believe in that lie all on your own”
la+la+la+la
oh+oh+oh+oh
woah+oh+oh+oh
[outro]
thank you so much
have a wonderful afternoon
thank you
