Lyrics for He Passes Number Thirty-Three as interpreted by PLANES

He Passes Number Thirty-Three Lyrics
There's no beast,
obviously.
The floor just creaks,
obviously.
The morning with coffee was snowy and sweet,
and there was this small, snow-white dog
that was barking at our feet,
honestly.

drove all day to the vacant beach.
Grey mist hanging over the sea,
alleys clogged with magazines,
and the boardwalk is empty.
The house in the valley is open this week,
imagine the sea looking in
at the slowly moving sheets.
Honestly.

If you feel weak, leave it to me.
If you need sleep, leave it to me.
Need wool socks for your feet, leave it to me.
Need a walk on the beach, leave it to me.
An ear into which to weep, leave it to me.
A shoulder on which to sleep, leave it to me.

And leave it to me to not speak
when I pass you on the street.
Leave it to me to feel weak,
leave it to me to run from your feet.
Leave it to me to not speak
when I pass you on the street,
leave it to me to feel weak,
leave it to me, number thirty-three,
leave it to me.

The second half of the song may be refering to a girl he is in love with and would do anything for but cannot work up the courage to tell her his feelings:

"And leave it to me to not speak
when I pass you on the street."

Any ideas to the significance of the title?

I wonder if this song isn't some sort of questioning of the genuineness of Christ's "Sermon on the Mount". The reason I conjecture the song is about Christ is because Jesus is generally believed to have died (and accomplished all He promised His disciples) at age 33. But if this is correct about the general orientation of the song, there is still much in the details that I don't quite grasp the meaning of. Any thoughts?

I have just recently gotten into Okkervil river. they r simply amazing. i own a copy of almost everything they have released but cannot find Stars too Small to Use. its been discontinued. Any ideas where i could get ahold of a copy? or at least find the tracks to download? i would even settle with being able to listen to the tracks online...i havent heard any except for kathy keller and the later versions of For the Captain (another radio song) and Velocity of Saul... Any help would be very appreciated.
