Well done. This helped alot. I think I have clarity on a few lines.

"Spit into the center of your hometown" "All the way it seemed in '89" "Down a hall in your house"

What ya think?

I agree that it sounds like he sings "Down a hall in your house." I actually scrolled down to the comments to comment on that line. The two other corrections you have also sound correct to me. This song is superb! I cannot wait to hear the whole album.

Thanks for the corrections! "Down a hall in your house" certainly makes more sense than "down a haunted house," haha! It also does sound like he's saying "Spit into the center of your hometown." I'm still not convinced on the third line with '89 in it. Maybe it's "All the way it seemed by '89"? He's definitely saying "by" before '89.

I'm incredibly stoked for this album. I think Okkervil River is brilliant, and the three songs we've gotten from the Silver Gymnasium have been great so far.

One little...

It is 'by 89' -- remember, I-89 passes just to the west of Meriden.
