Paroles It Hasn’t Happened Yet par Okkervil River

Up early, walking morning streets of downtown
They've been empty as a dream and then drifting into sun
Stopped for a coffee on a turnaround
And buy a couple loose joints out on [?]
Daredevil Debra, they did you in
But you made it with feeling, so I say that you win
You bought a ticket, guess you can't go
But I'll think of you, darlin', at the top of the show

Taking cover as the rain rolls down
In the red-light part of an old port town
I raise a glass of something bitter and black
And then it's time for the load, and so I gotta go back now
I figure I'll never own a pool
Well, no kidding, I'm never gonna own a home
I bet I'll probably never buy a car new
But at least I got to tour my records for you

Tangle-facеd Tony's front teeth are broken
The lеtter that he wrote hit me right in the soul
He's parked out in the front row
And the song that he loves is a song that I wrote
And it goes

Meet again, meet again, I can swear that we will
Meet again, meet again at the closest of range
Not on memory lane
Well, some people I met
Would say I'm a saint
But it hasn't happened yet
All right

I bet I finally end up playing bass
In a friend's band Thursday nights at Tanqueray's
You're gonna have to drag me out of that room
Until then, I'm gonna hold down some hits of the day, well:
"Eye in the Sky" and "I'm So Into You"
And to "Right Down the Line" and then to "Baker Street," too
"I Got a Name" then "I Saw the Light"
And "I Looked Away" and "I Can't Tell You Why"
Sorry, Don
(It's Tim!)
Oh yeah, Tim
'pprece, bud

This could be the last one, I don't know
I could teach or get deep at the old Sunoco
Or go into my house and just let myself go
Just lie down on the couch and get into some show
All the way down into the dark
Just me and my soul and my mind and my heart
Floated on out into the mist
And the world can forget that I ever existed

Angel-haired Annie's eighteen years old
And she's wrapped up in red, and she's just leaving home, girl
Don't do nothing that I wouldn't do
In my mohair jacket and my mint shampoo
I send this out to you

Meet again, meet again at the palace of film
Meet again, meet again
Well, we're on the same page, not on memory lane
Well, some people I met
Say I seem insane
But it hasn't happened yet

Meet again, meet again
At the old Club De Ville
Meet again, meet again
Child, I sing from the stage
It's a final farewell
To some people I met
Who were gonna get well
But it hasn't happened yet

Meet again
(Meet again, meet again, meet again)
(Meet again, meet again, meet again)
Well, some people I met
(Meet again, meet again, meet again)
(Meet again, meet again, meet again)
