Attention All Pickpockets by The Mountain Goats Lyrics

Genre: rock | Year: 2004

[Intro]
And... the new song, which has no title as of yet
1,2,3,4

[Verse 1]
In comes you, not the same person I knew
Looking roughly the same, but something hungry getting restless in your brain
So there I go, not the same person that you used to know
Peeking through the fisheye lens at you

[Refrain]
And the cornet blows where the oleander grows
And us two, not the same people that our old friends knew

[Verse 2]
And so down the street, you head in the high summer heat
White long-sleeved Oxford pushed up to just before your elbows
Black pumps and a medium length black skirt
Eating a path through the dark damp earth
I hope they've got plenty of money where you're going
[Refrain]
And the cornet blows where the oleander grows
And us two, not the same people that our old friends knew
