Okkervil River - The Velocity of Saul at the Time of His Conversion lyrics

Loosen the wire, your time has expired
The only word left is "goodbye"
In my new dream the light's shining on me
Little needles of sodium unstitch the
Seams of the sky

Hold your head higher, the heavenly choir
Is settling in for the night
And where I had friends I
Am left with loose ends
Four hours of vision exchanged for
Four hours of fright

But enough of "the fight
" enough "you and I"
Enough of "prevail" or "walk in the light"
While the angels stand by I
Get high as a kite
I'm too tired to smile or know
That I'm right am I right?

And all our best laid plans
They crumbled in our hands
Our flags fell where they found
You held in your breath
Long after projections of death
You sat in the waiting room rasping
And gasped for a fan

But the audience is tired
"we've had enough fire
We're entering the age now of ice"
And I, feeling older
Pull off to the shoulder
And wonder, with my head in my hands
Should I call my wife

And say "enough 'you and I
' enough of 'the fight'
Enough of 'prevail' or 'walk in the light'?"
While the angels stood by I
Got high as a kite
Too tired to smile or know that I'm right

"Enough 'you and I, ' enough of 'the fight'
Enough of 'prevail' or 'walk in the light'?"
When the spacecraft came down I
Was left on the ground
Will you keep me around
Will you help me survive after my time?
