Sovay - Andrew Bird

I was getting ready to be a threat 
I was getting set for my 
accidental suicide 
the kind where no one dies 
no one looks too surprised 
then you realize 
that you're riding on a para-success 
of a heavy-handed metaphor 
and a feeling like you've been here before 
because you've been here before 
and you've been here before 
then a word washed ashore 
a word washed ashore 
then a word washed ashore 

sovay, sovay,sovay 
all along the day 

I was getting ready to consider my next plan of attack 
I think I'm gonna sack 
the whole board of trustees 
all those Don Quixotes un their B-17s 
and I swear this time 
yeah this time 
they'll blow us back to the 70's 
and this time 
they're playin Ride of the Valkyries 
with no semblance of grace or ease 
and they're acting on vagaries 
with their violent proclivities 
and they're playing ride 
Ride of the Valkyries 
sovay,sovay,sovay 
all along the day
