Lyrics Okkervil River

Okkervil River

Westfall

I'm surrounded, each doorway covered

By at least twenty men

And they're going to take me, throw me in prison

I ain't coming back again

I ain't coming back again

When I was younger, handsomer and stronger

I felt like I could do anything

But all of these people making all these faces

Didn't seem like my kith and kin

Didn't seem like my kith and kin

Colin Kincaid from the twelfth grade

I guess you could say he was my best friend

Lived in a big tall house out on Westfall

Where we would hide when the rain rolled in

Where we would hide when the rain rolled in

We went out one night and took a flashlight

Out with these two girls Colin knew from Kenwood Christian

One was named Laurie, that's what the story

Said next week in the Guardian

Said next week in the Guardian

And when I killed her it was so easy

That I wanted to kill her again

I got down on both of my knees and

She ain't coming back again

She ain't coming back again

Now, with all these cameras focused on my face

You'd think they could see it through my skin

They're looking for evil, thinking they can trace it, but

Evil don't look like anything

Evil don't look like anything

Evil don't look like anything

Evil don't look like anything

Evil don't look like anything

Evil don't look like anything

Evil don't look like anything

Evil don't look like anything
