Etruscans by The Mountain Goats Lyrics
One, two, three, and...
Sift through the things we had that seem worth fighting for
Dig through the embers
Seek out a witness to the times we used to share
Weed out the pretenders
Go and find you an Etruscan
Reveal the hidden truth about the serpent's tooth
Try not to get romantic
Tell tales about white whales, way out in the Atlantic
Go and find you an Etruscan
Seek out his dwelling place, describe his face for the record
Seek out the feral child, head out into the wild
Send word when you get there
I'll wait here day and night, hoping you'll be alright
Sadly knowing better
Go and find you an Etruscan
Go and find you an Etruscan
Sift through the things we had that seem worth fighting for
Dig through the embers
Seek out a witness to the times we used to share
Weed out the pretenders
Go and find you an Etruscan
Reveal the hidden truth about the serpent's tooth
Try not to get romantic
Tell tales about white whales, way out in the Atlantic
Go and find you an Etruscan
Seek out his dwelling place, describe his face for the record
Seek out the feral child, head out into the wild
Send word when you get there
I'll wait here day and night, hoping you'll be alright
Sadly knowing better
Go and find you an Etruscan
Go and find you an Etruscan
