[Verse 1: Söderberg]
Shrill as the choir of children
Urgent like the first day of May
False and inflatable feeling
Tugs at my senses, big as the Macy's Parade
[Verse 2: Oberst & Söderberg]
One brick on top of another
Such is the measure of man
Planets are inset like diamonds
On a gravity halo, eternity's wedding band
[Verse 3: Oberst & Söderberg]
I slept with that dealer all summer
The ecstasy's still in my spine
Coat check I couldn't remember
Walked into the winter, came out on the other side
[Refrain: Oberst & Söderberg]
And in the south the sun is shining
Back in the east the lights went out
[Verse 4: Oberst & Söderberg]
Stuck on a ladder to heaven
On trial way back in the Hague
Lullaby sounds from the engine
In my Styrofoam coffin, asleep on the interstate
Shrill as the choir of children
Urgent like the first day of May
False and inflatable feeling
Tugs at my senses, big as the Macy's Parade
[Verse 2: Oberst & Söderberg]
One brick on top of another
Such is the measure of man
Planets are inset like diamonds
On a gravity halo, eternity's wedding band
[Verse 3: Oberst & Söderberg]
I slept with that dealer all summer
The ecstasy's still in my spine
Coat check I couldn't remember
Walked into the winter, came out on the other side
[Refrain: Oberst & Söderberg]
And in the south the sun is shining
Back in the east the lights went out
[Verse 4: Oberst & Söderberg]
Stuck on a ladder to heaven
On trial way back in the Hague
Lullaby sounds from the engine
In my Styrofoam coffin, asleep on the interstate
