Okkervil River - Gold Faces lyrics

She is sitting on the ground
Golden face and eyes turned down
Arms both barren showing some
Golden trace of foreign sun
And bright and tied across each wrist
Golden bracelets that exist
Sold so cheap they're almost free
In golden places we've never seen
China white and cairo black
This golden face and silver back
I have brought her 'Cross the sea
Give in to my love for me
Shut your thoughts close out the world
Shut your thoughts and be my girl
Hear the screams outside the gate
We can't stop it it's too late

I said can you have it take it
Well, take it all try it on twirl
Down the hall big-eyed girl and
Gentle man blank-eyed beast who
Grabs her hand at a distance
From the street golden threads run
Through bedsheets lit by dusky
Golden heat plummeting through
Golden me
