Okkervil River - Judey On A Street lyrics

All day I'm gonna hit on the drum Takes a little time for her to come You're just a girl on a street Ah, take it away Walk around, what d'you say? That how the whole world sadly sung While you were wishing you were young You're just a girl on a street The snow it softly falls outside And you're watching it, spacing out And you're lying on your side You wanna get involved in prayer As for the church, you don't know where You're just a girl on a street You're just a girl on a street With your hair going gray Eyes like greenish macramé Hey, the record goes like... I drove in my new sedan Rain hit my windshield like an open hand I headed north in a haze of speed I knew exactly what we need I stood in a church with a shield on the sign The smell of incense in the aisles I felt like a giant spinning wheel And I know how the minister must feel And when his wife takes off her gown And then she lets her long hair down Lit by the world that's going round She's just a girl on a street She's just a girl on a street She's just a girl Once I died in a dream And the world without me went fine And then years went by Take me to that city in the sky The clouds are aquamarine The architect remains unseen I'll live my life out on your street Up where the bluebirds fly Help me to the other side Help me to the other side Help me to the other side Help me to the other side Help me to the other side Help me to the other side And when I get to the other side I'll give those harp strings a strum I'm gonna hit on that drum I'm gonna wait for my girl to come You know it takes a little time
