Walking Without Frankie Lyrics - The Silver Gymnasium - Okkervil River

Throttling, hurtling, just going, going 

And hurting, going 

But it's gone, it's going 

And not knowing where, in the ground or in the air 

A golden stare, whatever 

It's going 

I stop by the lake of strangled crane 

It was the color of copper 

I saw the crane operator 

Heard the operator swallow 

Saying it looks like rain 

And I had the operation because steady was a doctor 

And I was in pain 

Freedom or whatever 

Whatever you call it 

It's a stairway or a slow ride 

It's reality or a land slide 

I heard the bartender died 

Of a broken heart 

And a shattered pelvis 

He was buried in Kansas 

It was part of a promotion 

They were trying to undermine 

The confidence of the tumor 

The confidence of the tumor 

The confidence of the tumor 

The confidence of the tumor 

The confidence 

I saw a beautiful drummer 

Get the whip of a spider 

Well, I wished I could've saved her 

I saw a little boy in serious danger 

Of getting old 

He was strapped, sitting shotgun 

In a cutlass cruiser, cruiser 

Well, I'm on the street 

And some say it ain't my year 

I hear the little voice of love, love, love, love, love 

Get my chance 

I fear the hunger coming fast 

Part of the world like mad 

And I don't keep them all, ended up all better 

Slapped some kind of sense in this 

That passes between us 

But that someone else said 

But that someone else's 

But that someone else said 

I last saw you, Franking, walking that Hampshire due 

Would've shot 5000 feet under the sky 

We'll work it out, too 

I bet you'll express, rocking or whatever 

Feel so far away 

I got my old typewriter right out ' 

I got the last stock filing and they forgot the word 

Well, they burned my trailer 

And they're on my tail ' 

I walk Frankie, I walk Frankie, I walk Frankie 

I walk Frankie, I walk Frankie, I walk Frankie 

I walk Frankie, I walk Frankie, I walk Frankie 

I walk Frankie, I walk Frankie, I walk Frankie 

I walk Frankie, I walk Frankie, I walk Frankie 

I walk Frankie, I walk Frankie, I walk Frankie 

I walk Frankie, I walk Frankie, I walk Frankie 

I walk Frankie, I walk Frankie, I walk Frankie
