The Moon & Antarctica. Modest Mouse.




1. 3rd planet.

Everything that keeps me together is falling apart, I've got this thing that I consider my only art of fucking people over. My boss just quit the job, says he's goin' out to find blind spots and he'll do it. The 3rd planet is sure that they're being watched by an eye in the sky that can't be stopped, when you get to the promise land your gonna shake that eyes hand.

Your heart felt good, it was drippin' pitch and made of wood and your hands and knees felt cold and wet on the grass to me. Outside naked, shiverin' looking blue, from the cold sunlight that's reflected off the moon, baby cum angels fly around you reminding we used to be three and not just two. And that's how the world began and that's how the world will end.

A 3rd had just been made and we were swimming in the water, didn't know then was it a son was it a daughter, when it occurred to me that the animals are swimming around in the water in the oceans in our bodies and another had been found another ocean on the planet, given that our blood is just like the Atlantic and how, the universe is shaped exactly like the earth if you go straight long enough you'll end up where you were, the universe is shaped exactly like the earth if you go straight long enough you'll end up where you were, the universe is shaped exactly like the earth.

2. Gravity rides everything.

Oh, gotta see, gotta know right now, what's that riding on your everything? It isn't anything at all. Oh, gotta see, gotta know right now, what's that writing on your shelf in the bathrooms and the bad motels? No one really cared for it at all, not the gravity plan.

Early, early in the morning, it pulls all on down my sore feet, I wanna go back to sleep. In the motions and the things that you say, it all will fall, fall right into place, as fruit drops, flesh it sags, everything will fall right into place. When we die, some sink and some lay, but at least I don't see you float away, and all the spilt milk, sex and weight, it all will fall, fall right into place.

3. Dark center of the universe.

I might disintegrate into the thin air if you'd like, I'm not the dark center of the universe like you thought, I might disintegrate into the thin air if you'd like, I'm not the dark center of the universe like you thought.

Well, it took a lot of work to be the ass that I am and I'm real damn sure that anyone can equally, easily fuck you over. Well, died sayin' something, but didn't mean it, everyone's life ends, but no one ever completes it, dry or wet ice, they both melt and you're equally cheated. Well, it took a lot of work to be the ass that I am and I'm really damn sure that anyone can equally, easily fuck you over. Well, an endless ocean landin' on an endless desert, well, its funny as hell, but no one laughs when they get there, if you can't see the thin air than why the hell should you care?

Well, it took a lot of work to be the ass that I am and I'm really damn sure that anyone can equally easily fuck you over. Well, I'm sure you'd tell me you got nothing to say but our voices shook hands the other day, if you can't see the thin air what the hell is in the way? I might disintegrate into the thin air if you'd like, I'm not the dark center of the universe like you thought.

Well, it took a lot of work to be the ass I am and I'm really damn sure that anyone can equally, easily fuck you over. Well, sure you'll tell me you've got nothing to say and our voice shook hands the other day, if you can't see the thin air then what the hell is in your way?


4. Perfect disguise.

You've got the perfect disguise and you're lookin' o.k., from the bottom of the best of the worst, well what can I say. ‘Cause you cocked your head to shoot me down, down, and I don't give a damn about you or this town no more, no ‘cause I know the score,

Need me to fall down, so you can climb up, some fool ass ladder, well good luck, I hope, I hope there's something better up there. ‘Cause you cocked your head to shoot me down, down, and I don't give a damn about you or this town no more, no ‘cause I know the score.


5. Tiny cities made of ashes.

We're goin' down the road towards tiny cities made of ashes, gonna hit you on the face, gonna punch you in your glasses, oh no. I just got a message that said yeah hell is freezin' over, I got a phone call from the Lord sayin' hey boy get a sweater, right now. So we're drinkin', drinkin', drinkin', drinkin' coca-coca-cola, I can feel it rollin' right on down, oh right on down my throat and as we're headed down the road towards tiny cities made of ashes I'm gonna get dressed up in plastic, gonna shake hands with the masses, oh no.

Does anybody know a way that a body could get away, does anybody know a way. Does anybody know a way that a body could get away, does anybody know a way.

Were goin' down the road towards tiny cities made of ashes, I'm goin' to hit you on the face, I'm goin' to punch you in your glasses. I'm wearin' myself a t-shirt that says the world is my ashtray, our hearts pump dust and our hairs all grey, and I just got a message sayin' that hell has frozen over, got a phone call from the Lord sayin' hey boy get a sweater, right now.

Does anybody know a way that a body could get away, does anybody know a way. Were drinkin', drinkin', drinkin', drinkin' coca-coca-cola, I can feel it rollin' right on down oh right on down my throat and as we're headed down the road towards tiny cities made of ashes, I'm gonna lay down in the spa where they coat you in molasses.

Does anybody know a way that a body could get away, does anybody know a way. Does anybody know a way that a body could get away, does anybody know a way.


6. A different city.

I wanna live in a city with no friends or family, I'm gonna look out the window of my color TV, I wanna remember to remember to forget you forgot me, I'm gonna look out the window of my color TV.

Through the cracks in the wall, slow motion for all, dripped out of the bars, someone smart said nothin' at all. I'm watching TV, I guess that's a solution, they gave me a receipt that said I didn't buy nothin'. So rust is a fire and our blood oxidizes, my eyes rolled around, all around on the carpet. Oh hit the deck, it's the decal man, standin' upside down and talkin' out of his pants.

Oh hit the deck, it's the decal man, standin' upside down and talkin' out of his pants.

Through the cracks in the wall, slow motion for all, left holding the ball and a part for your car. I don't know, but I been told, I don't know, but I been told you never die, you'll never grow old.


7. The cold part.

So long to this cold, cold part of the world. So long to this cold, cold part of the world. So long to this bone bleached part of the world, so long to this cold, cold part of the world. So long to this salt soaked part of the world.

I stepped down as president of Antarctica, can't blame me, don't blame me, don’t. So long to this sad, sad part of the world, so long, so long


8. Alone down there.

How do, how do you do? My name is you, flies, they all gather around me and you too. You can't see anything well, you ask me what size it is, not what I sell, the flies, they all gather around me and you too.

I don't want you to be alone down there, to be alone down there, to be alone. I don't want you to be alone down there, to be alone down there, to be alone.

The Devil's apprentice he gave me some credit, he fed me a line and I'll probably regret it. I don't want you to be alone down there, to be alone down there, to be alone.
I don't want you to be alone down there, to be alone down there, to be alone. I don't want you to be alone down there, to be alone down there, to be alone.


9. The stars are projectors.

In the last second of life they're going to show you how, how they run this show, sure, run it into the ground. In the last second of life they're going to show you how, how they run this show, sure, run it into the ground.

In the last second of life they're going to show you how, how they run this show, sure, run it into the ground. In the last second of life they're going to show you how, how they run this show, sure, run it into the ground.

The stars are projectors, yeah, projecting our life down to this planet earth. The stars are projectors, yeah, projecting our minds down to this planet earth. Everyone wants a double feature, they want to be their own damn teacher, and how all the stars are projectors, yeah, projecting our lives down to this planet earth.

It's all about the moderate climates, you got to be cold and be hot for surem it's all about the moderate climates, you want to be blessed and be cursed for sure.

All the stars are projectors, yeah, projecting our lives down to this planet earth. All the stars are projectors, yeah, projecting our lives down to this planet earth. Everyone wants a double feature, they want to be their own damn teacher, and how all the stars are projectors, yeah, projecting our lives down to this planet earth.

You've got the harder part, you've got the kinder heart and it's true. I've got the easy part, I've got the harder heart, ain't this true. Right wing, left wing, chicken wing, it's built on finding the easier ways through. God is a woman and the woman is an animal, that animal's man and that's you.

Was there a need for creation? That was hiding in a math equation and that's this, where do circles begin? Where do circles begin?


10. Wild pack of family dogs.

A wild pack of family dogs came runnin' through the yard one day, my father got his gun, shot it up, they ran away, ok. A wild pack of family dogs came runnin' through the yard and as my own dog ran away with them, I didn't say much of anything at all, didn't say much of anything at all, didn't say much of anything at all.

A wild pack of family dogs came runnin' through the yard as my little sister played, the dogs took her away and I guess she was eaten up, ok, yeah she was eaten up, ok. My mother's cryin', blood dust now, my mother's cryin', blood dust now, my mother's cryin', blood dust now.

My dad he quit his job today, well I guess he was fired but that's ok, and I'm sittin' outside my mudlake, waiting for the pack to take me away, and right after I die the dogs start floating up towards the glowing sky. Now they'll receive their rewards, now they will receive their rewards, now they will receive their rewards.


11. Paper thin walls.

These walls are paper thin and everyone hears every little sound. Everyone's a voyeur, their watching me, watch them, watch me right now. They're shakin' hands, they're shakin' in their shoes, oh Lord, don't shake me down. Everyone wants two themselves and half of everyone else who's around. Its been agreed, the whole world stinks so no ones taking showers anymore, laugh hard, it’s a long way to the bank.

I can't be blamed for nothin' anymore. It's been a long time since you've been around, laugh hard it's a long way to the bank.

Toe the line to tax the time, you know that you don't owe. I can't be a fool for everyone that I don't know.

12. I came as a rat.

Well I ain't sure, but I been told, he's baking cakes inside our souls, stayed awake, took a nap, got myself my bottles back. I'm breakin' them out on the street, walkin' around in my bare feet, I do not need you to tell me that I am not a cat. I caught a ride, we caught some air, he's never gonna cut his hair, it takes more time to make a fake, we night swam down in the lake, washed the dirt off our intentions, prattle on 'bout bad inventions.

I came as ice, I came as a whore, I came as advice that came too short. I came as gold, I came as crap, I came clean and I came as a rat. It takes a long time, but God dies too, but not before he'll stick it to you. Well I don't know, but I been told, you never die and you never grow old, uh oh.

I came as a call, I came as flat, I came too soon so I came back. I came as flowers, I came as nice, I came as dirt and I came as its price. It takes a long time, but God dies too, but not before he'll stick it to you. I don't know, but I been told, you never die and you never grow old, uh oh.


13. Lives.

Everyone's afraid of their own life, if you could be anything you want, I bet you'd be disappointed, am I right? No one really knows the ones they love, if you knew everything they thought I bet that you'd wish that they'd just shut up. Well, you were the dull sound of sharp math, when you were alive. No ones gonna play the harp when you die and if I had a nickel for every damn dime I'd have half the time, do you mind?

Everyone's afraid of their own lives, if you could be anything you want, I bet you'd be disappointed, am I right? Am I right? Am I right? Am I right? Am I right? Am I right? Am I right?

And it's our lives, it's hard to remember, it's hard to remember, we're alive for the first time. It's hard to remember, it's hard to remember we’re alive for the last time. It's hard to remember, it's hard to remember to live before you die. It's hard to remember, it's hard to remember that our lives are such a short time. It's hard to remember, it's hard to remember when it takes such a long time. It's hard to remember, it's hard to remember, it's hard to remember.

My mom's God is a woman and my mom she is a witch, I like this. My hell comes from inside, comes from inside myself, why fight this.

Everyone's afraid of their own lives, if you could be anything you want I bet you'd be disappointed, am I right?


14. Life like weed.

And in this life like weeds you're just a rock to me, and in this life like weeds you're just a rock to me, and in this life like weeds you're just a rock to me, and in this life like weeds you're just a rock to me.

I could have told you all that I love you and in the places you go, you'll see the place where you're from. I could have told you all that I love you and in the faces you meet, you'll see the place where you'll die. I could have told you all that I love you and on the day that you die, you'll see the people you'd met. I could have told you all that I love you and in the faces you see, you'll see just who you've been. I wish I could have told you all.

In this life like weeds, in this life like weeds eyes need us to see, hearts need us to bleed, in this life like weeds you're a rock to me, I know where you're from, but where do you belong? In this life like weeds you're the dirt I'll breath, in this life like weeds you're a rock to me.

In this life like weeds you're a rock to me, I know where you're from, but where do you belong? In this life like weeds, in this life like weeds eyes need us to see, hearts need us to bleed, in this life like weeds, In this life like weeds you're the dirt I'll breath.

All this talkin' all the time and the air fills up, up, up until there's nothin' left to breathe, and you think you feel most everything, and we know that our hearts are just made out of strings to be pulled, strings to be pulled. So you think you've figured out everything but we know that our minds are just made out of strings to be pulled, strings to be pulled.

All this talkin' all the time and the air fills up, up, up until there's nothing left to breathe, up until there's nothin' left to speak, up until the better parts of space.


15. What people are made of.

Rag weed tall better hope that his ladder don't crack or he'll hit the ground low, hard and out of his back. At the battle at the bottom of the ocean, well the dead do rise, you need proof I got proof at the surface you can watch them float by.

Way in back of the room, there sits a cage, inside it's a clock that you can win if you can guess its age. Which you never can do ‘cause the time it constantly changes, for luck or lack, I guess that is the saying.

On the first page of the book of blue it read "If you read this page, than that'll be your death". By then it was too late and you wound up on an island of shells and bones that bodies had left, and the one thing you taught me 'bout human beings was this, they ain't made of nothin' but water and shit.
