in corolla - the mountain goats lyrics

Loading...

[verse 1: john darnielle]
the day i turned my back on all you people
i felt an itching in my thumbs
the salt air like a broadcast from the distant, dark beyond
when my transformation comes

[verse 2]
i went down to the warm, warm water
saw a pelican fly past
waved once at the highway and then left all that behind me
i went wading through the gr-ss

[verse 3]
and no one was gonna come and get me
there wasn’t anybody gonna know
even though i leave a trail of burnt things in my wake
every single place i go

[verse 4]
and it was cool, and it was quiet
in the humid marsh down there
i let my head sink down beneath the brackish water
felt it gumming up my hair

[verse 5]
the sun was sinking into the atlantic
the last time that i turned my back on you
i tried to summon up a little prayer as i went under
it was the best that i could do

[verse 6]
and i said
“let them all fare better than your servant”
the reeds all pr-cking at my skin
“here’s hoping they have better luck than i had down here with you”
all that water rushing in
