THE MOUNTAIN GOATS We Have Seen The Enemy

Welcome to myveryownbloggywog Lyrics THE MOUNTAIN GOATS We Have Seen The Enemy Lyrics, singer by THE MOUNTAIN GOATS

Everything I’ve told you was true
So imagine my surprise when I blink my eyes
And realize that I’ve been talking to you
And I’ve told you everything
Even the parts I’d meant to leave out
And I shake my hair, and I look about

And the wild dogs are hungry
And the wild dogs howl
And the wild dogs in the mountains to the north of us
Come down

THE MOUNTAIN GOATS Sinaloan Milk Snake Song

Welcome to myveryownbloggywog Lyrics THE MOUNTAIN GOATS Sinaloan Milk Snake Song Lyrics, singer by THE MOUNTAIN GOATS

(Everybody ready? uh yeah! um-hmm.)
Sun melts everything down
And the hills are reduced to nothing
The whole house shakes
And you can see that the coach is coming
You lean down and you pick up the small soft eggs in the dust outside my door
I hold them in my hands
They are warm and the air is warming up now

I’ve got a message for you
If I could only remember
I’ve got a message for you
But you’re gonna have to come and get it
La la la la la la la la
La la la la la la la la
Ever since I came here
All I could think about is water
Last night they brought the fat lamb in from the fold
But I couldn’t bring myself to do anything about it
I remember california, I remember malibu
I remember the states and the names of the cities but I don’t remember you

And I’ve got a message for you
If I could only remember
I’ve got a message for you
But you’re gonna have to come and get it
I’ve got a message for you
I’ve got a message for you, 2 3 4
La la la la la la la la
La la la la la la la la
Ya!
Whoo
[Sarah:] huh-huh-huh huh huh ay!
[laughs]

THE MOUNTAIN GOATS The Black Ice Cream Song

Welcome to myveryownbloggywog Lyrics THE MOUNTAIN GOATS The Black Ice Cream Song Lyrics, singer by THE MOUNTAIN GOATS

And the heat came down
I knew I was living in a long, long dream
when you fed me the black ice cream

and the heat rose up
I heard the loud loud buzzing of our son’s go-kart
and the ice cream was blacker than the devil’s heart
It was august the 19th, 1957
I fixed my eyes on you, fixed my eyes on you

Welcome to myveryownbloggywog Lyrics THE MOUNTAIN GOATS Alpha Sun Hat Lyrics, singer by THE MOUNTAIN GOATS

you say again that nothing’s wrong
i’d really like to play along
your ruby red mouth is full and moist
i’d like to give in to your oboe reed voice
but as sure as those are buzzards in the guava tree
you’re looking real funny at me

1 2 3 4,
that’s not music you hear, that’s the devil
that’s not the sun up in the sky, it’s a human heart
if you’re planning your escape, you know i’m all for you
as i watch the sun come up again over tallahassee, florida

Welcome to myveryownbloggywog Lyrics THE MOUNTAIN GOATS Azo Tle Nelli In Tlalticpac? Lyrics, singer by THE MOUNTAIN GOATS

I was sitting in the street when the news came my way
I was sitting in the street when the news came my way
Good news, good news, good news, good news
I was sitting in the street when the messenger came by
I was sitting in the street when the messenger came my way
Good news, good news like a rare blood disorder
Good news, good news

I was sitting in the street
I don’t believe I’ve made it clear what exactly I mean by that
I was sitting in the middle of the street
Dust made its way into my legs even though my shirt was tucked in
And I saw the colors forming in the west
Saw the bright feathers reflected in the sky, now
Good news, good news, good news, good news

Welcome to myveryownbloggywog Lyrics THE MOUNTAIN GOATS Alpha Incipiens Lyrics, singer by THE MOUNTAIN GOATS

the morning comes to a stuttering halt
the cool breeze that blows is somebody’s fault
the summer heat tries to burn through
and i look over to warn you but something’s happening

the morning glories climb the wall
and you speak in a slow drawl
i’m trying to piece together what you’re saying
but the birds are screeching, the hounds are baying
i don’t remember there being any hounds around here

we lean back and we clink our glasses
raise the drinks to our thirsty mouths,
and thick as molasses ice cold vodka eases in as
the low pressure system brings the breezes in
and they sashay and pirouette above you
the only thing i know is that i love you
and i’m holding on,
yeah

Welcome to myveryownbloggywog Lyrics THE MOUNTAIN GOATS Resonant Bell World Lyrics, singer by THE MOUNTAIN GOATS

sometimes you’re a starling
sometimes you’re a kite
you’re a hyena from early to mid afternoon
you’re a stray dog at night

it’s the most amazing thing i’ve ever seen
how you will not act like a human being

when you put on your special coat
and you made your special lunge for my throat

between you and me,
it was, it was really exciting.

it’s the most alarming thing i’ve ever seen
how you will not act like a human being
it’s the most incredible thing i’ve ever seen
how you refuse to act like a human being

in the starlight.
in the starlight.
in the starlight.
in the starlight.
in the starlight.
in the starlight.

THE MOUNTAIN GOATS Seeing Daylight

Welcome to myveryownbloggywog Lyrics THE MOUNTAIN GOATS Seeing Daylight Lyrics, singer by THE MOUNTAIN GOATS

two cans clear chicken broth
two white onions
one bulb garlic

boil, boil.
boil, boil.

and the screams of delight from the pool outside
the splashing sounds
the coffee heating up on the stove
the sky outside. the color of pure fresh milk.
boil, boil.
boil, boil.

and the phone ringing, and me picking it up
and watching myself do so
in the quiet room

in the june evening and your voice on the other end
and the impossibility of your voice on the other end
and the impossible echo. inside.

boil, boil.
boil, boil.

THE MOUNTAIN GOATS Going To Maryland

Welcome to myveryownbloggywog Lyrics THE MOUNTAIN GOATS Going To Maryland Lyrics, singer by THE MOUNTAIN GOATS

the water’s real cool and the water’s real sweet
here’s hoping that no points repeat
because i bet against the chances that you’d ever be mine
laid everything down on the don’t pass line

and it’s a stupid trick of fortune anyway
but the lights are bright tonight
and your eyes shine tonight on chesapeake bay

walk through the water and our feet get wet
and on the dark ended water i see your silhouette
5 dollars says that it’s gone in a minute
5 dollars says that your heart goes with it

THE MOUNTAIN GOATS Song For Mark And Joel

Welcome to myveryownbloggywog Lyrics THE MOUNTAIN GOATS Song For Mark And Joel Lyrics, singer by THE MOUNTAIN GOATS

i opened up the window and the cold air came in.
and i saw a bird on a branch outside
that i had never seen before.
he looked a robin, but it had an upside down v-shaped
red mark on its chest.
and i had a special feeling in my mind
and i had a special feeling in my mind
i had a certain glint in my eye,
on the morning trouble came by.

there was a map of the american-midwest on one wall.
and there was a map of the american-west on another wall.
and there was a map of rome on the third wall.
and there were maps in all direrctions.
i was looking at them pondering connections
when trouble came by.

then i stuck my head out the window.
i had to stick my head out the window.
it was much colder than i’d imagined it would be.
it was much much colder than i’d imagined it would be.
it was much much colder.
it was much much colder and trouble came by.
