Okkervil River - The Blonde in the Bleachers lyrics
[Okkervil River - The Blonde in the Bleachers lyrics]
The blonde in the bleachers
She flips her hair for you
Above the loudspeakers, you start to fall
She follows you home
But you miss living alone
You can still hear sweet
Mysteries calling you
The bands and the roadies
Lovin' 'em and leavin' 'em
It's a pleasure to try 'em
It's trouble to keep 'em
'Cause it seems like you gotta
Give up such a piece
Of your soul when you give up the chase
Feeling it hot and cold
You're in rock'n'roll
It's the nature of the race
It's the unknown child, so sweet and wild
It's youth, it's too good to waste
She tapes her regrets to the microphone stand
She says
"You can't hold the hand of a rock'n'roll man
Or count on your plans with a rock'n'roll man
(For very long) compete with the fans for
Your rock'n'roll man (For very long)
The girls and the bands
And the rock'n'roll man"
She flips her hair for you
Above the loudspeakers, you start to fall
She follows you home
But you miss living alone
You can still hear sweet
Mysteries calling you
The bands and the roadies
Lovin' 'em and leavin' 'em
It's a pleasure to try 'em
It's trouble to keep 'em
'Cause it seems like you gotta
Give up such a piece
Of your soul when you give up the chase
Feeling it hot and cold
You're in rock'n'roll
It's the nature of the race
It's the unknown child, so sweet and wild
It's youth, it's too good to waste
She tapes her regrets to the microphone stand
She says
"You can't hold the hand of a rock'n'roll man
Or count on your plans with a rock'n'roll man
(For very long) compete with the fans for
Your rock'n'roll man (For very long)
The girls and the bands
And the rock'n'roll man"
