the Mountain Goats // The Autopsy Garland from All Eternals Deck

One clear shot or else he gets away
Red sun high in the sky tonight
Look west from London down to old Hollywood
Remember the first days in california


You don’t wanna see these guys without their masks on
You don’t wanna see these guys without their masks on

Fat rich men love their 12-year-olds
Deco cufflinks and cognac by the glass
Look West from London toward the emerald city
Remember Minnesota

You don’t wanna see these guys without their masks on
You don’t wanna see these guys without their masks on

Or their gloves…

Sweet spearmint and bitter tangerine
Bedside decked with roses
Look West look West look West and look away
From old familiar faces

You don’t wanna see these guys without their masks on
You don’t wanna see these guys without their masks on

the Mountain Goats // Ezekiel 7 and the Permanent Efficacy of Grace from The Life of the World to Come

The clouds explode and then the desert blooms
Someone will need to mop this floor for me
When I emerge I find my car
Like a cathedral in a dream of the future

Drive ‘til the rain stops
Keep driving

Pull over and blast off when I get the chance
Clear as an insect’s wings in sunlight
Flip on the high stakes radio
Try to sing the words right

Drive ‘til the rain stops
Keep driving

I had his arms tied up behind him
We were together all day
Maybe make Culiacán by sunset
Try to anyway

High as the clouds now
Flying
Drive ‘til the rain stops
Keep driving
