[ti:John Allyn Smith Sails] [ar:Okkervil River] [al:The Stage Names] [by:季风网-【http://www.ip21.cn】] [offset:0] By the second dear friends My head will burst my life will end So I'd like to start this one off by saying Live and love I was young and at home in bed And I was hanging on the words some poem said And thirty-one I was impressionable I was upsettable I tried to make my breathing stop my heart beat slow So when my mom and John came in I would be cold From a on Washington Avenue the year of 1972 Broke my bones and skull and it was memorable It was half a second and I was halfway down Do you think I wanted to turn back around and teach a class Where you kiss the ass that I've exposed to you And at the funeral the University Cried at three poems they'd present in place of a broken me I was breaking in a case of suds At the brass rail a fall-down drunk with his tongue torn out and his balls removed And I knew that my last lines were gone while stupidly I lingered on Other wise men know when it's time to go And so I should too And so I fly into the brightest winter sun Of this frozen town I'm stripped down to move on My friends I'm gone Well I hear my father fall And I hear my mother call And I hear the others all whispering Come home I'm sorry to go I loved you all so But this is the worst trip I've ever been on So hoist up the John B sail （Hoist up the John B sail） See how the main sail sets （See how the main sail sets） I've folded my heart in my head and I wanna go home With a book in my hand In the way I had planned Well this is the worst trip I've ever been on Hoist up the John B sail （Hoist up the John B sail） See how the main sail sets （See how the main sail sets） I've folded my heart in my head and I wanna go home With a book in each hand （With a book in each hand） In the way I had planned （In the way I had planned） I feel so broke up I wanna go home
