The Last Place I Saw You Alive The Jordan Lake Sessions Volume 3 by The Mountain Goats Lyrics
[Verse 1]
I'm not thinking of you
When I swing left onto Gordon Avenue
It's just the way the traffic veers
Haven't driven down these streets in years
[Chorus]
But then I pass the last place I saw you alive
[Verse 2]
I walk the narrow path these days
I can't see going back to my old ways
Call to mind sometimes that bloody, stinking mess
Us worms turn into butterflies, I guess
[Chorus]
But then I pass the last place I saw you alive
[Verse 3]
It's changed since you were here, or else it hasn't
It was special, it was deadly
It was ours and then it wasn't
[Verse 4]
It's only now and then you come to mind
There's a trillion things you left behind
It's just the way the math works out
Nothing really to get worked up about
[Chorus]
But then I pass the last place I saw you alive
I'm not thinking of you
When I swing left onto Gordon Avenue
It's just the way the traffic veers
Haven't driven down these streets in years
[Chorus]
But then I pass the last place I saw you alive
[Verse 2]
I walk the narrow path these days
I can't see going back to my old ways
Call to mind sometimes that bloody, stinking mess
Us worms turn into butterflies, I guess
[Chorus]
But then I pass the last place I saw you alive
[Verse 3]
It's changed since you were here, or else it hasn't
It was special, it was deadly
It was ours and then it wasn't
[Verse 4]
It's only now and then you come to mind
There's a trillion things you left behind
It's just the way the math works out
Nothing really to get worked up about
[Chorus]
But then I pass the last place I saw you alive
