Letter from Belgium The Jordan Lake Sessions Volume 3 by The Mountain Goats Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Martin calls to say he's sending old electrical equipment
That's good we can always use some more electrical equipment
In the cold clear light of day down here
Everyone's a monster
That's cool with all of us
We've been past the point of help since early April
[Pre-Chorus]
Susan and her notebook
Freehand drawings of Lon Chaney
Blueprints for geodesic domes
Recipes for cake
[Chorus]
Yeah we're all here
Chewing our tongues off
Waiting for the fever to break
[Verse 2]
When we walk out in the sunlight
We tell everyone we know it hurts our eyes
When the real reason we don't like it
Is that it makes us wonder if we're dying
And Martin's found an old trunk
Full of stage makeup in the basement
And he's sending it along
We can always use more makeup
Yeah more creams and powders
[Pre-Chorus]
And Sadie's got the feeling
That the people next door
Will close in like a wolf pack
Should we make one small mistake
[Chorus]
Yeah we're all here
Chewing our tongues off
Waiting for the fever to break
[Instrumental]
Hey!
Hey!
[Outro]
Yeah, man
Yes, yes
Cool, cool
Hello, it's us, the Mountain Goats. Still at home, still locked up like dogs
I don't know why that got me. It's fine. That will be our new gimmick, is barking. You know, because they can't play games in Cleveland right now with the crowd, so we're going to take that over
Alright, is this in E-flat or is it in D-sharp? C-sharp?
Alright, is this in E-flat or is it in D-sharp? Trick question
This is off of Get Lonely
