A Favor Songtext
von Okkervil River

Rapt in Star Wars sheets
With my hand across your belly
We waded through the watercolor
We waded through the watercolor

Oh, 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 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 (I would be anything that he asked me to be)
You can see into me (line of duty, line of duty, line of duty, line of duty)
Do you want the new me? (See into me, see into me, into me, see into me)
Wanna get inside me? (Want the new me, want the new me, want the new me, want the new me)
Do you want the new me? (Get inside me, get inside me, get inside me, get inside me)
Wanna get inside me? (Want the new me, want the new me, want the new me, want the new me)
Do you want the new me?
But how could I change my body?
