Mountain Goats, The - Alagemo Lyrics
The new rose floating on water in the old plain bowl
The white clouds on night sky
They way they just roll on by made me think of you
And the religious cult of flesh disillusion you've committed yourself to
Alagemo, alagemo
The night crawlers poking their little slimy heads through the dirt
Made me think of you again
Made me think of you a third time
I don't know where you've gone
But i hear your voice droning on
Alagemo, alagemo

Mountain Goats, The Alagemo Comments
Always was curious about the meaning of this song. Wonderful album. Thanks for sharing.
man I forgot how sick this tape is
Fuck yes. ✊
This is one of the songs that if you don't really like The Mountain Goats you'll probably never hear
I've done some research, and from what I can tell, Alagemo refers to some sort of Chameleon worship somewhere in Africa. The word might be Yoruba. The only sort of mythology I can find (after Googling "Chameleon worship" or "Chameleon Yoruba") was a story about the origins of death. the Chameleon, in some cultures, is considered a bad omen. anyways, done nerding out. thanks for uploading!
