Here I Dreamt I Was an Architect - Decemberists (amazing, btw)








And here I dreamt I was a soldier


And I marched the streets of Birkenau


And I recall in spring


The perfume that the air would bring


To the indolent town


Where the barkers call the moon down


The carnival was ringing loudly now


And just to lay with you


There's nothing that I wouldn't do


Save lay my rifle down





And try one, and try two


Guess it always comes down to


Alright, it’s ok, guess it's better to turn this way





And I am nothing of a builder


But here I dreamt I was an architect


And I built this balustrade


To keep you home, to keep you safe


From the outside world


But the angles and the corners,


Even though my work is unparalleled,


They never seemed to meet


This structure fell about our feet


And we were free to go





And try one, and try two


Guess it always comes down to


Alright, ok, guess it's better to turn this way





And here in Spain I am a Spaniard


I will be buried with my marionettes


Countess and courtesan


Will fall beneath my tender hand


When their husbands were not around


But you, my soiled teenage girlfriend


Or are you furrowed like a lioness


***And we are vagabonds


We travel without seatbelts on


We live this close to death ****





And try one, and try two


I guess it always comes down to


Alright, it’s ok, guess it's better to turn this


But I won, so you lose


Guess it always comes down to


Alright, it’s ok, guess it's better to turn this way
