And here I dreamt I was a soldier
And I marched the streets of Birkenau
And I recall in spring
The perfume that the air would bring

    And just to lay with you/ There's nothing that I wouldn't do/ Save lay my rifle down...But the angles and the corners/ Even though my work is unparalleled/ They never seemed to meet/ This structure fell about our feet...But I won, so you lose/ Guess it always comes down to...

    "You, my soiled teenage girlfriend/ how you furrow like a lioness." That line is so much sweeter than it has any reason to be.

    Yeah, this song is pretty much perfect. There are a number of Decemberists songs that I could listen to over and over again for days, and this one tops the list.
