Okkervil River - The Latest Toughs lyrics

All the latest toughs You've got to shrug them off Shut them off With ten-thousand-time-told truths You've still got to ask for proof Ask for proof 'Cause if you're dying to be led They'll lead you up the hill in chains To their popular refrains And then your slaughter's been arranged, my little lamb It's much too late to talk the knife out of their hands Well, I woke up on a foggy morning Hiding from the sun, he was hiding from the sun But it came out and it shot its rays down It was burning everyone, it was burning everyone But they're dying, anyway To turn to ash To feel their feelings flash and finally fade away In one fabulous and fiery display Hiding from the sun, we were hiding from the sun We were hiding from the sun, we were hiding from the sun It was burning everyone, it was burning everyone It was burning everyone, it was burning everyone And I don't know what notes you want to hear played Can't think what lines you'd like me to sing or say Not sure what subjects you want mentioned So just pause and add your own intentions Just pause and add your own Let's pause and add our own Let's pause and add our own intentions Right here It was burning everyone, it was burning everyone, it was burning everyone, it was burning everyone We were hiding from the sun All the latest toughs Well, we have seen that stuff And we have seen enough Blood in dying coughs Which means that we have lost We have lost But if you're crying to be tossed They'll toss you down the oubliette With all the old things that you let yourself forget Because you'd like to love a star Who'd throw you down below the ground he thinks you are
