before i go off to the war - vampire deer

song 2 of after the opera war

this morning's very quiet
the wind isn't howling like it was the night before
outside the day looks cheerful
maybe you and i could walk out to the grocery store
or baby get your best dress on
i can take you downtown
i'll take you where you want to go
i'll show you around
you know it isn't going to be that long
before i go off to the war

down near the railroad tracks
the trees look like they might be budding soon
the roadside's kind of muddy
but the yellow fields are baking in high noon
so baby get your best dress on
i can take you downtown
i'll take you where you want to go
i'll show you around
you know it isn't going to be that long
before i go off to the war

This maintains the creepiness of the first track! Again you lead with a melodic instrument I enjoy. I feel like the videos for these songs should all be VHS, with weird slow loops of Lynchian behavior.
