Counterfeit Florida Plates by The Mountain Goats Lyrics
Steal some sunscreen
From the CVS
Use too much
And make a great big mess
Wait where shadows
Mask or hide my scent
So many so-called friends
Working for the government
[Chorus]
Dig through the trash
Sleep on the grates
And watch for the cars
With the counterfeit Florida plates
Scribble ciphers
On the library bathroom wall
Map a path from here to home
Can't quite catch 'em all
Calculate magnetic north
And turn the other way
Wait for the coming disaster
I could do this all day
[Chorus]
Dig through the trash
Sleep on the grates
And watch for the cars
With the counterfeit Florida plates
[Bridge]
It seems like everyone's cut me free
And left me to the tender cares
Of my faceless enemy
Feel so hungry
I'll probably pass out soon
Look for a tree to lean up against
Whistle a tuneless tune
This may be the night
My point men finally come
Wait for the fog to catch up with me
So I can at least feel numb
Dig through the trash
Sleep on the grates
And watch for the cars
With the counterfeit Florida plates
With the counterfeit Florida plates
With the counterfeit Florida plates
From the CVS
Use too much
And make a great big mess
Wait where shadows
Mask or hide my scent
So many so-called friends
Working for the government
[Chorus]
Dig through the trash
Sleep on the grates
And watch for the cars
With the counterfeit Florida plates
Scribble ciphers
On the library bathroom wall
Map a path from here to home
Can't quite catch 'em all
Calculate magnetic north
And turn the other way
Wait for the coming disaster
I could do this all day
[Chorus]
Dig through the trash
Sleep on the grates
And watch for the cars
With the counterfeit Florida plates
[Bridge]
It seems like everyone's cut me free
And left me to the tender cares
Of my faceless enemy
Feel so hungry
I'll probably pass out soon
Look for a tree to lean up against
Whistle a tuneless tune
This may be the night
My point men finally come
Wait for the fog to catch up with me
So I can at least feel numb
Dig through the trash
Sleep on the grates
And watch for the cars
With the counterfeit Florida plates
With the counterfeit Florida plates
With the counterfeit Florida plates
