An Antidote for Strychnine demo by The Mountain Goats Lyrics
[Intro: John Darnielle and Roman Darnielle]
I'm gonna ask you, are you ready to demo this jam?
Yes!
Why don't you press that beat button? Yeah. "An Antidote for Strychnine"
1, 2, 3
[Intro: John Darnielle and Roman Darnielle]
Dig around in the garbage (Garbage)
Save up some halibut bones in a jar
Scrape a winter's worth of salt deposits
From the rusty frame of my car
Ask the experts, maybe they'll know
[Verse 2: John Darnielle]
Call up my teacher in Cambridge
See what he remembers
Throw white phosphorus in the fireplace
Look for clues in the embers
Call the hotline, give them a phony last name
[Chorus: : John Darnielle and Roman Darnielle]
Tryin' to find (Tryin' to find)
An antidote for strychnine (1, 2, 3, 4)
Tryin' to find (1, 2, 3, 4)
An antidote for strychnine (1, 1, 2)
[Verse 3: John Darnielle and Roman Darnielle]
Time's running short (1, 2, 3, 4)
Always seems to run shorter
Have some supplies sent
From up just past the northern border
Keep a line out to the people who take the long view
[Verse 4: John Darnielle]
Only share my research
With sick lab rats like me
Trapped behind the beakers
And the Erlenmeyer flasks
Hidden from the world, I may not ever get free
But I may one day
Chorus
[Chorus: John Darnielle and Roman Darnielle]
Tryin' to find (Tryin' to find)
An antidote for strychnine (Strychnine)
Try to find (Tryin' to find)
An antidote for strychnine (Nine!)
[Bridge: John Darnielle]
So many suffering from the same affliction
Coming up on the breakthrough
The clock's ticking
[Verse 5: John Darnielle and Roman Darnielle]
Dig down amongst my calculations
Check my map
Up there on the surface
Everybody's getting ready for the bloodbath
Stem the tide, stem the tide
They're calling down for reinforcements
[Chorus: John Darnielle and Roman Darnielle]
Tryin' to find (Tryin' to find)
An antidote for strychnine (An antidote for strychnine)
Try to find (Tryin' to find, tryin' to find)
An antidote for strychnine (Antidote for strychnine)
[Outro: John Darnielle and Roman Darnielle]
That was some vocals right there. Yeah
Yes!
Spacebar. Spacebar right there
I'm gonna ask you, are you ready to demo this jam?
Yes!
Why don't you press that beat button? Yeah. "An Antidote for Strychnine"
