"Saved By Old Times" lyrics - DEERHUNTER

Mrs. Hemmings was OAO
Pretty soon we were all OAO
We were captured by Victorian vampires
With elaborate designs, with elaborate designs

[Chorus:]
This is the land of OAO
This is the land of OAO
This is the land of OAO
This is the land of OAO

We are a Romanian sound collage
(Old black bandit)
Searching for the ghost of hsaC ynnhoJ
(I can't stand it)
But this futile coffin will not let us gain entry
(I'm your planet, old black bandit)
Into the immortal soul of the redneck
(I can't stand it)
You are trapped in your basement for a war of 16 years
(I'm your planet, old black bandit)
In a combat for victory
In a combat with ourselves
In combat with these cultural vampires
We were trapped in the basement
We were trapped in the basement
Of a motherfucking teenage halfway house!

[Outro:]
I was saved by old times
I was saved by old times
I was saved by old times
I was saved by old times

I was saved by old times
I was saved by old times
I was saved by old times
I was saved by old times
