Ox Baker Triumphant by The Mountain Goats Lyrics

[Verse 1]
I will rise from the swamp
Where they dumped my private plane
I'll be clutching the life preserver in my teeth
And I will find the highway
And I will flag down a truck
Worry lines on my forehead
Blank stare underneath

[Chorus 1]
And when I come back to town
I'm gonna cast my burden down
A little worse for wear
Practically walking on air

[Verse 2]
I will thank my ride
And crawl my way back inside
To the guts of the building
Where my enemies hide in the dark like roaches
And I will signal the camera crew
And everyone will do what he's been trained how to do
Sweat dripping from my face
As my moment approaches
[Chorus 2]
Click your heels, count to three
I bet you never expected me
A little worse for wear
Practically walking on air
