Okkervil River - Oh precious

I ^Elive in a building where nobody knows me, I go to bed early, I sleep in my ^Dclothes. At ^Anight I hear screaming down in the street, I dream that I'm slipping, I reach for my ^Dfe-^Aet.

^BPrecious, we are ^Afalling down, ^Ecatch us. ^BPrecious, we are ^Afalling down, ^Ecatch us. Oh ^Dno, ^Adown we go a^Egain. Oh ^Dno, ^Adown we go a^Egain.

I ^Efill in the holes in my vision with dexedrine, the ^Elandscape spins sideways, the movies and magazines ^Dwhisper as they hide on soft silky surfaces ^Asurely my neighbors and friends have ther purposes ^Ehere.

The ^Ebuilding is maddening, thirty floors high they are building a needle that pierces the ^Dsky like a ^Acold vaccination, like a smile through a polaroid, ^Asurely my neighbors and friends want to be destroyed.

^BPrecious, we are ^Afalling down, ^Ecatch us. ^BPrecious, we are ^Afalling down, ^Ecatch us. Oh ^Dno, ^Adown we go a^Egain. Oh ^Dno, ^Adown we go a^Egain. Ohh ^Dohhh ^AOhhhhh ^EOhhhhh Oh ^Dno, ^Adown we go, so

^ELend me a leaf from the rill, lifting the dreams from ^Dyou, they sift through the meshes of the ancient after^Enoon. ^ELeave me alone for awhile, leave me alone with your ^Dsmile, and ^Dlisten to the breaking, all the ^Abuildings we are making will be ^Bgone.

^BPrecious, we are ^Afalling down, ^Ecatch us. x3 ^BPrecious, we are ^Afalling down, falling down, ^Ecatch us.
