A Favor - Okkervil River

Rapt in Star Wars sheets

With my hand across your belly

We waded through the watercolor

We waded through the watercolor

And drunk in your parents' house

Junk coming out of your mouth

We were buried in the ice sculpture

We were buried in the ice sculpture

And you said

I would be anything that you wanted me to be

I would be anything that you wanted me to be

I would be anything that you wanted me to be

But how could I change my body?

I love that picture that your mother stole

Dad holds out the tiny piece he’ll release from his soul

Before he flew up in the helicopter

Before he swooped down as a door gunner

Before God gave him the favor

That meant he isn’t getting others

He said

I would be anything that he asked me to be

I would be anything that he asked me to be

In the line of duty

You can see into me

Do you want the new me?

Wanna get inside me?

Do you want the new me?

Wanna get inside me?

Do you want the new me?

But how could I change my body?
