Okkervil River - Days Spent Floating (In the Halfbetween) lyrics

I got lost down a dark red rural road
Looked down two long lines to the
Place they both blurred out
In a cave lab they took some
Time to reassemble my brain
It would have been better to not have
Left New York City at all

Days spent floating in the halfbetween
Days spent floating in the halfbetween

Just one day, I want to have died for a day
To disappear between two notes
In a twelve-tone scale
Floral Jesus floats in a sky of warm toast
You can only spend so much time, brother
As the world's guest
Days spent floating in the halfbetween
Days spent floating in the halfbetween

It's Hallowe'en
And half Brooklyn is costumed and crying
And I don't want to be a human being
Caught midstreet drinking
The mistake of a late-night zombie
All-night dreams of a sky
That's filled with ashes
And three days in till October's ended

Days spent floating in the halfbetween
Days spent floating in the halfbetween
Days spent floating in the halfbetween
Days spent floating
Floating in the halfbetween

Floating floating
Floating in the halfbetween
