Okkervil River Kansas City (Live) Lyrics

The river is deep and the river is wide, and the girl that I love
is on the other side. She wants to move to Kansas City: "Move,
pretty baby, where the sky is so blue." She's walking down
Ellum, turning down Main, trying to find someone to sell her
cocaine. She wants to move to Kansas City: "Move, pretty baby,
where the sky is so blue." With a dayful of promises dead on her
lips, Mark 15:34 tucked next to her hip, she wants to move to
Kansas City: "Move, pretty baby, where the sky is so blue." I
jumped in the water and started to drown. I thought of her
walking and turned back around. I want to move to Kansas City,
where the sky is so blue. With her pair of old wings that opened
just once, she can walk on two feet now, she can go where she
wants. She can move to Kansas City, where the sky is so blue.
And I'll tell you one thing that you should never do - never let
a woman
tell you she loves you.
She'll call you
"baby,"
she'll look in your eye, then she'll get on that
airplane
and wave "bye bye bye bye bye
bye, baby."
And if I could
believe what I want to believe, I'd hold
you all
close and take you with me,
all of you to
Kansas City, where the sky is so
