Modest Mouse - World at Large Lyrics
Ice-age heat, wave can't complain
If the world's at large, why should I remain?
Walked away to another plane
Gonna find another place, maybe one I can stand
Modest Mouse - One Chance Lyrics
We have one chance
One chance to get everything right
We have one chance, one chance
And if we're lucky we might
Modest Mouse - Black Cadillacs Lyrics
And it's true we named our children after towns
That we've never been to and it's true
That the clouds just hung around
Like black Cadillacs outside a funeral
Modest Mouse - Blame It On The Tetons Lyrics
Blame it on the Tetons, yeah, I need a scapegoat now
No my dog won't bite you though it had the right to
You oughta give her credit
'Cuz she knows I would've let it happen
Modest Mouse - Satin In A Coffin Lyrics
You were laying on the carpet
Like you're satin in a coffin
You said, "Do you believe what you're sayin'?"
Yeah right now, but not that often
Modest Mouse - The View Lyrics
Your gun went off
Well, you shot off your mouth
And look where it got you
My mouth runs on too
Modest Mouse - This Devil's Workday Lyrics
All those people that you know
All those people that you know
All those people that you know
Floatin' in the river are logs
Modest Mouse - Bukowski Lyrics
Woke up this morning and it seemed to me
That every night turns out to be
A little more like Bukowski
And yeah, I know he's a pretty good read
Modest Mouse - Dance Hall Lyrics
I'm gonna dance all, dance hall everyday
I'm gonna dance all, dance hall every day
I'm gonna dance all, dance hall every day
Well I'm giving myself another one, I have too much to say
Modest Mouse - Ocean Breathes Salty Lyrics
Your body may be gone, I'm gonna carry you in
In my head, in my heart, in my soul
And maybe we'll get lucky and we'll both live again
Well I don't know. I don't know. I don't know. Don't think so
Modest Mouse - Float On Lyrics
I backed my car into a cop car the other day
Well, he just drove off, sometimes life's okay
I ran my mouth off a bit too much, oh, what did I say?
Well, you just laughed it off, it was all okay
Modest Mouse - Bury Me With It Lyrics
We were shootin' at a mound of dirt
Well nothing was broken, nothing was hurt
But I probably really should have been at work
But when my free time's gone would you promise me this, that you'll
Modest Mouse - The Good Times Are Killing Me Lyrics
The good times are killing me, here we go
Got dirt, got air, got water and I know you can carry on
Shrug off shortsighted false excitement
