When I Get Home by The Mountain Goats Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Playing in the bricks and the foundry dust
I lost track of time

[Refrain]
I'm gonna get it when I get home
He's gonna kill me when I get home

[Verse 2]
That love should turn to bitterness
All so suddenly
Poison from my pretty songs
Turned to ruin me

[Refrain]
I'm gonna get it when I get home
He's gonna kill me when I get home

[Verse 3]
I know you must have held me once
I saw a photograph
Safe and happy in your arms
A smiling god of wrath
[Refrain]
I'm gonna get it when I get home
He's gonna kill me when I get home

[Verse 4]
One sunny judgment day
I lost track of time
Playing in the bricks and the foundry dust
I lost track of time

[Outro]
He's gonna kill me when I get home
I'm gonna get it when I get home
