Mountain Goats Songs by Line

I am drowning/there is no sign of land/You are coming down with me/Hand in unlovable hand

There will be feasting/and dancing/in Jerusalem next year

There's gonna be a few things, maybe several things/That you're gonna find really difficult to forgive

The world shines/As I cross the Macon county line

When you punish a person for dreaming his dream/Don't expect him to thank or forgive you

The wind began to blow/And all the trees began to bend/And the world, its cold way/started coming alive

You must give to the March of Dimes/You must be on guard against wickedness at all times

I am coming home to you/If its the last thing that I do

Hand me your hand/Let me look in your eyes/As my last chance to feel human begins to vaporize

Every couple minutes someone says he can't stand it any more/Laugh lines on our faces, scale maps of the ocean floor

And the Chicago Cubs/Will beat every team in the league

You pointed your headlamp toward the horizon/We were the one thing in the galaxy God didn't have his eyes on

I went down to the Catholic church/And something just came over me

All night long/You giggle and scream/Your brown eyes/Deeper than a dream

We may through the windows open later/Though we are not as far west as we suppose we are

On the day that I forget you/I hope my heart explodes

Feels so good to have you here/Some of you will be dead next year

And when the time came I could see it happen/Blossoms black and sweet as Texas crude

You were all I ever wanted/You were all I'd ever need

I cry when I'm hungry/Something is wrong with my brain

I came here to say it/But I've done that before/But would never have told you that I don't love you anymore

when the ghost of your father comes to town/What the hell else can you do

Die hard/Die kicking/Old habit of mine

Looked hard for what we lost/It was painful to admit it/But we couldn't find a thing

My window looked out upon nothing/And nothing looked right back at me
