White Lyrics - The Silver Gymnasium - Okkervil River

We crashed through crazed glass in the white-hot burst of the fiery blast 

We flared through choked air, in the deafening blare, in the scattering ash 

Summer's here and I'm gonna crack, crack, crack 

Summer's here and I'm gonna crack 

We sort through shocked quartz in a jewelry store whilst your sister and dad 

Consort with kept courtesans, while the whole world is in ruins we laugh 

Summer's here and I'm gonna cry, cry, cry 

Summer's here and I'm gonna cry 

Summer's here and I'm near a heart attack or flash of real feeling 

Teeth gnashing, and blasting and reeling through black 

'Cause, kids, when I first saw your mom, well, I was right and she was wrong 

About just the kind of man she was bringing back 

And when I first met her dad, well, I felt good and he felt bad 

But, kids, you'll find that, over time, you're just trapped 

Spring is gone and you're gonna gasp, gasp, gasp 

Spring is gone and you're gonna gasp 

Gasp

And, friends, when I first saw the groom rise from the darkness of the tomb, I was unnerved though overall I was wowed 

When I first saw the bride, the look inside her eyes just cried, "if someone has some cause to stop, say it now" 

Fall is here, and the leaves all come down, down, down 

Fall is here, and the leaves all come down, down, down 

Winter's here, it's too cold to drown, drown, drown 

Winter's here, it's too cold to drown, drown, drown 

Winter's here, it's too cold to drown, drown, drown 

Winter's here, it's too cold to drown, drown, drown 

Winter's here, it's too cold to drown, drown, drown 

Winter's here, it's too cold to drown, drown, drown 

Winter's here, it's too cold to drown, drown, drown 

Winter's here, it's too cold to drown, drown, drown 

Winter's here, and I'm nearly whited-out, snowblind 

It's no business of mine if life don't want me around
