Modest Mouse are the sound of the Pacific Northwest - this is music as rugged as the area it comes from. Accordingly, not since the inception of Neil Young 's biography has the word 'buffalo' been so often used in rock. And like the country from whence it comes, it is endless.

Modest Mouse - The Lonesome Crowded West Lyrics
Modest Mouse - Doin' the Cockroach Lyrics
I was in heaven, I was in hell
Believe in neither, but fear them as well
This one's a doctor
This one's a lawyer
Modest Mouse - Truckers Atlas Lyrics
I'm going to Colorado to unload my head
I'm going to New York City and that's in New York, friends
I'm going to Arizona
Sex on the rocks all warm and red
Modest Mouse - Out Of Gas Lyrics
Out of gas, out of road, out of car
I don't know how I'm going to go
And I had a drink the other day
Opinions were like kittens
Modest Mouse - Cowboy Dan Lyrics
Well, Cowboy Dan's a major player
In the cowboy scene
He goes to the reservation drinks
And gets mean
Modest Mouse - Jesus Christ Was An Only Child Lyrics
Well Jesus Christ was an only child
He went down to the river
And he drank and smiled
And his dad was, oh, so mad
Modest Mouse - Shit Luck Lyrics
This plane is definitely crashing
This boat is obviously sinking
Modest Mouse - Trailer Trash Lyrics
Eating snow flakes with plastic forks
And a paper plate of course, you think of everything
Short love with a long divorce and a couple of kids of course
They don't mean anything
Modest Mouse - Lounge (closing Time) Lyrics
She was going with a cinematographer
Everyone knew that he was really a pornographer
They went down to the dance and grind
And everybody was feeling fine
Modest Mouse - Polar Opposites Lyrics
Polar opposites don't push away
It's the same on the weekends as the rest of the days
And I know I should go but I'll probably stay
And that's all you can do about some things
Modest Mouse - Bankrupt On Selling Lyrics
Well all the apostles, they're sitting in swings
Saying, "I'd sell off my savior for a set of new rings
And some sandles with the style of straps that cling best to the era"
Modest Mouse - Heart Cooks Brain Lyrics
Slow walk
It's land mine
It's coal mine
It's a bad thought
Modest Mouse - Long Distance Drunk Lyrics
Hang it up now or never
Hang it up again
Hang it up now or never
Hang it up again
Modest Mouse - Teeth Like God's Shoeshine Lyrics
From the top of the ocean, yeah
From the bottom of the sky, goddamn
Well I get claustrophobic
I can, you know that I can, well
Modest Mouse - Convenient Parking Lyrics
Soon a chain reaction started in the parking lot
waiting to bleed on to the big streets
that bleed on to the highways and
off to other cities built to store and
Modest Mouse - Styrofoam Boots / It's All Nice On Ice, Alright Lyrics
Well, all's not well but I'm told that it'll all be quite nice
You'll be drowned in boots like mafia
But your feet will still float like Christ's
Well, I'll be damned, they were right
