The Recognition Scene by The Mountain Goats Lyrics

Genre: rock | Year: 1995

[Verse 1]
We broke the doorknob off the door
The door swung open easily
We sauntered into the poorly-lit store
And looked around lazily
We stole every bit of candy they had inside
Gobbled it all up greedily on our three month ride

[Refrain]
I'm gonna miss you when you're gone
I'm gonna miss you when you're gone

[Verse 2]
You headed out to the getaway car
And hit the open road
I saw something written in tall, clear letters on your face
But I could not break the code
We had hot caramel sticking to our teeth
And the only love I've ever known burning underneath

[Refrain]
I'm gonna miss you when you're gone
I'm gonna miss you when you're gone
[Outro]
I'm gonna miss you when you're gone
I'm gonna miss you when you're gone
