Cover art for Gold Faces lyrics by Okkervil River

The last line may need help. It gets pretty garbled by the song's crescendo. Any other ideas what he says?

Overall, one of Sheff's most obtuse tracks lyrically, but one that's more about evocative, vivid imagery than coherent narrative or encompassing theme. Maybe. There's a definite dichotomy going on, but I can't figure what it all means, if it does mean anything.
