Hanging from a Hit Okkervil River

[Verse 1]
What this night wants is what it gets
Strung in silken knots, lit by cigarettes
Flaring side by side with the streets all wet
Is the only thing that's bright

[Verse 2]
And I don't need to cross that bridge, I find
I'm swinging and sailing over the pit tonight
I'm hanging from a hit tonight
Was wild enough to order up and toss across my lips

[Verse 3]
What's making all my tears
Is taking all my fears away
But I don't need to cry
'Cause now I'm clear, ooh

[Verse 4]
A moth that's swerving through the sage
A creature crashing from a cage
A shadow vaporized by a new sun ray
A day she spends the night

[Verse 5]
And I can hear her sigh
As she's almost asleep on one side
I lie back on my pillow
And ask what her husband is like, ooh
