[00:01.65]The War Criminal Rises And Speaks -Okkervil River
[00:06.882]The heart wants to feel
[00:10.946]The heart wants to hold
[00:15.387]The heart takes past subway past stop and shop past
[00:18.923]Beal's and calls it coming home
[00:23.345]The heart wants a
[00:24.980]Trail away from alone
[00:31.174]So the heart turns a sale into a well worn
[00:37.968]Milestone
[00:39.231]The heart wants soft furniture
[00:43.399]Fought for fast food
[00:47.172]Defended end table that holds paperbacks and back us news
[00:55.28]The mind turns an itch into a bruise
[01:02.650]And the hands start to twitch and they're feeling ill
[01:08.97]Used
[01:09.773]But you're almost back now you can see by the signs
[01:17.784]From the bank you tell the temperature and then the
[01:20.848]Time and the billboard reads some headlines
[01:25.823]The head wants to turn to avert both it's eyes
[01:33.601]But the mind wants to learn of some truth that
[01:37.445]Might be inside reported crimes
[01:41.328]They found a lieutenant
[01:45.454]Killed a village of kids
[01:49.233]After finishing off the wives he wiped off his knife
[01:53.571]That's what he did
[01:56.247]And they're not claiming that there's any excusing it
[02:04.409]That was thirty years back and they just get paid
[02:08.344]For the facts the way they got them in
[02:12.437]Now he's rising and not denying his hands are shaking
[02:17.89]But he's not crying
[02:19.518]And he's saying how did I climb out of a
[02:22.754]Life so boring into that moment
[02:26.218]Please stop ignoring the heart inside oh you readers at home
[02:33.963]While you gasp at my bloody crimes please take the
[02:37.582]Time make your heart home
[02:40.661]Where I'm forgiven by time where I'm cushioned by hope
[02:48.560]Numbed by long drives where I'm talked off or doped
[02:55.320]The heart wants to atone oh I believe that it's so
[03:02.674]Because if I could climb I'd restore
[03:05.454]Their lives back my own
[03:09.24]Tens of times now it's size on a far distant road
[03:15.951]In a far distant time where every night I'm still
[03:19.747]Crying entirely alone
[03:23.246]But the news today always fades away as you drive by
[03:30.905]Until at dinnertime when you look into her eyes
[03:38.915]Lit by evening sun that as usual comes from above
[03:43.650]That straight unbroken line
[03:47.74]The horizon it's rising is a given
[04:01.332]Just like your living
[04:08.508]Your heart's warm and kind your mind is
[04:14.652]Your own
[04:16.373]So our blood spattered criminal is inscrutable don't worry he
[04:22.176]Won't
[04:23.958]Rise up behind your eyes and take wild control
[04:31.282]Say he's not of this time
[04:35.263]He fell out of a hole
