Dirty Projectors, Empress Of - Zombie Conquerer lyrics

Crazy to feel like this
Up and down, simultaneous victory and defeat
One to one, we'll have to wait and see

And now the clouds are gathered
My eyes are bright, my khakis tattered

The stakes are raised
The townspeople are anxious and alert
The surface of the reservoir
Is mirrored and inert
The flag is hanging motionless on
The pole outside the court
And in their homes the people look
With stares they can't avert

Zombie conqueror
We see into the midnight in front of us
Zombie conqueror
We see into the midnight in front of us
My friend
We'll have to free each other more than once
Zombie conqueror
We see into the midnight in front of us
Night, night

I left home at fifteen
I knew no home between half a life goes by
Only a picture of the sky

And now the clouds are gathered
My eyes are bright, my khakis tattered

The blocking characters all
Plotting new disloyalty
But sensing their irrelevance, they're
Frowning and displease, d
The car chase through the mini mall
Amaryllis on the hood
The race to clear the courthouse has
Been won and all is good

(Zombie conqueror, Zombie conqueror)
Zombie conqueror (zombie conqueror)
We see into the midnight in front of us
Zombie conqueror (zombie conqueror)
We see into the midnight in front of us
My friend
We'll have to free each other more than once
Zombie conqueror (zombie conqueror)
We see into the midnight in front of us
Night, night
