Mountain Goats, The - In League With Dragons Lyrics






It's so hard to get revenge
The human element drags you down
Lead a solitary life if you can
Try not to show your face in town
Let the rulers find such breaches as they may
Reckon up the variables

Find a way to make it real
Make a deal
Until my protector comes

It's so hard to be yourself
When you've already seen the inside
Try to navigate the turns as best you can
Headed on down the slide
Good friends are where you find them
People talk all kinds of trash
Never you mind them

Make it real
Make a deal
Until my protector comes

Huge wings blotting out the sun
Remembering everyone

It's so hard to look away
You gotta be strong in the face of suffering
Cut a good figure just in case somebody's watching
Even if it ends up meaning nothing
Let the breezes split such scandal as they may
Maybe Boris Vallejo paints
The back of your head someday

Make it real
You make a deal
Until my protector comes

Mountain Goats, The In League With Dragons Comments
  1. N.... ....

    I find that I need to sit with a new Mountain Goats song and just kinda resonate with it for a while, and then I really appreciate it properly. Like, sometimes I dont like the songs at first, but as I listen to them a few times inbetween the songs that hit me more thoroughly, I find myself not skipping. (The podcast definitely helps me give context to some of the more complex ones though!)

  2. D.... H....

    whos it about?

  3. T.... S....

    Truely moving

  4. r.... ....

    Recite the songs that kept me whole
    On the day I hand over command control
    Try to let them all flow in to this one

    List alphabetically
    The toxins the doctors found in me
    During my time in prison

    Count my fingers
    Every last one
    When I get done

    Clean the floors well, sweep and swap
    Do a thorough job
    Leave the old place nicer than I found it

    Wish well as the neighbors cheer and shout
    Finally taking their earplugs out
    Things were even worse here than they sounded

    Grim faced pilots back from the bombing run
    When I get done

    Take a picture or two
    Just to remember the view
    Leave a mark on the door
    As an empty warning sign
    From one who's gone before
    But isn't here any more

    Let the crust form on my skin in the sun
    When I get done

    Sweep the front porch make it new
    Put the broom away when I get through
    No passers-by need to know of my lonely tenure

    All this violent end
    The shock of leaves
    Wind rippling in my sleeves
    Swirling against my skin as in a blender

    Rhythmic drumming and hands spun
    When I get done

  5. r.... ....

    I like this 💪💪💪💪🇦🇷💪💪
