Modest Mouse - Isaac's Dream

Lyrics (roughly):
And you had enough
And you had nothing to say
And I'm gonna get a get away
Well three years ago today
And I'm worried that I have a date tomorrow
And I'm worried that I'ma have to had to go today
Once three years ago
Exactly on this day
We got no chocolate
From the floor to the S-E-A-T-T-L-E
...................gone away, to wallow
Well I was sayin I was sittin at my house
Just the other day
I looked at the board......
Knew my lease was up, I had to leave okay, well
Well I'm sayin....................
Don't you know what's up?
Turn off the power get all the cable on, hooked up
When you say when you've somethin to say
And you say what you're gonna say
You put it into little boxes and you moved it that other way
At home I was sittin here under the rain
I was sittin in the back of the way, well
And you say what you had to do
Well what have you got to say
Where were you?
I dreamed that I was walking up and down
I dreamed I was walking a hundred miles
I dreamed I was full of shit
I dreamed I was filled up but I couldn't quit
And say what I want you to say
You don't got a backpack
You've got yourself thin after, then all the shit stacked
And I'll say what I'm gonna say
I dreamed.......
I dreamed I was walking down the aisle
...........
...........
And the best part is that the worst part of it was that it was great!
And the best part of it was that the worst part, it was great!
And the saddest part of that very happy happy day
Was that I was just a little too early
And I just considered myself late
Well the plan was shit
Oh the plan was great
Everybody showed up early
And I was still a little too late
Oh but the plan was great
Oh but the plan was great
Oh we talked it out, we walked it through
Oh we drew it all out on those crates
And we say what was done
What was meant, what was Hell? I DON'T KNOW
If I had myself a book that was
Supposed to tell me it would not go

why can this man elicit such violent emotional outbursts in me with his voice alone

[@irvingcsaltzburg]

For anyone that cares I'm finally posting my own transcript of these drunk ass lyrics, though still incomplete (especially when he's singing into his pickup or whatever). I've had a little notepad file on my desktop for years and was slowly adding on to it by rewinding sections of this song over and over. Sorry it took a decade for my rough lyric translation, if anyone can decipher the rest I'll try and edit it in the description.

This song sounds like it would have gone very well on the album Heavy Metal 2000. Reminds me of "Psychosexy" by Sinisstar. Check it out great song!
