Mountain Goats, The - Korean Bird Paintings Lyrics






yesterday I put in a good 5 hours
talking to the statues
chased your memory all around the room
didn't manage to catch you
but I cleaned out the savings account
blew everything I had on flowers
covered up the furniture in carnations
rolled around for hours

there are those of you, who got the wrong idea right now
but man you should of seen me when I got through
indistinguishable from a fourth century Briton
waiting on the couch for you
I put all the extras on the credit card
bubble of the universe and mylar balloons
everything we'd saved up in one room at the same time
cartoon stars, crescent moons
thank you notes, get well cards
condolences, congratulations
bright colors, hues and signals
reminders and rememberances

    Anyone wanna try explaining this one to me? The only comment on it on songmeanings is "self-explanatory." -.-

    K.... M....

    Sorry for the four years of wait. This is the most poignant songs about mourning someone that I've heard. The future that they could have had was cut off abruptly, so he cashes it all out at once and immerses himself in happy memories (everything we saved up in one room at the same time / cartoon stars, crescent moons).
