Mountain Goats, The - Going To Maine Lyrics






You and me are in a lot of trouble
And somebody's gonna burst our bubble
Your husband
My wife
My marriage
Your life

Let's go to Maine out on the East Coast
Let's go to Maine right now
Let's beat the retreat
Let's hop on the plane
Let's get out of here
Let's go to Maine

Someone knows what's going on
Someone knows, and someone's gonna tell
Someone's gonna wrap us up in styrofoam and paper
And mail us flat-rate right down to Hell

  3. S.... ....

    hey so I had an upbeat, synthy vocaloid pop song playing in another tab without realizing it so it took me like a full minute to process that John darniellle HADN'T dropped a random electropop song into the middle of Ghana. I thought I was having a fucking stroke.

    S.... ....

    Shiisiln he did drop a random electronic song in the middle of all hail west Texas, kind of

  4. A.... B....

    "Repeat Chorus twice, drink heavily for 6 months, repeat Chorus again"

    May a herd of raccoons decide that you're their leader and fill your life and basement with stolen goods, because you are a genius and you deserve it.

  14. J.... S....

    Given other possibilities such as corruption, pollution, and natural disasters, I'm pretty okay with Maine's sin being dullness.

    J.... S....

    Jonathan Shepherd The first thing I think of is rocky jutting coastlines, thick forests, mountains--an adventure state.
