Left home in a blur Arrived in the night Everything is going to be alright Came back to the place Where it all flared out Just to check if the reservoir Still bore the mark of the drought Up to 13th and Taylor, check my pulse You weren’t there, and neither was anybody else Stared down demons, came back breathing No real point in ever leaving Tracy and Ivory and Brad and me too We will see some great miracle before the night is through Slipped in through the entrance Stood in the hall Left my fingerprints on the elevator wall Went down to my old room Stood outside it a minute Wondering if parts of me Were still there in it Who can say it won’t be me You are gone now and I am free Wesley and Quinn and Devon and you We will all be fixed up as good as new And I stared at the number 10 on my old apartment’s door That’s one ghost that can’t bite me anymore And someday we will all feel at home in our new skin And someday we will never be alone again When the sun comes up and the night has passed We shall all be healed at last, at last, at last
This is my favorite kind of mtn goats song
Left home in a blur
Arrived in the night
Everything is going to be alright
Came back to the place
Where it all flared out
Just to check if the reservoir
Still bore the mark of the drought
Up to 13th and Taylor, check my pulse
You weren’t there, and neither was anybody else
Stared down demons, came back breathing
No real point in ever leaving
Tracy and Ivory and Brad and me too
We will see some great miracle before the night is through
Slipped in through the entrance
Stood in the hall
Left my fingerprints on the elevator wall
Went down to my old room
Stood outside it a minute
Wondering if parts of me
Were still there in it
Who can say it won’t be me
You are gone now and I am free
Wesley and Quinn and Devon and you
We will all be fixed up as good as new
And I stared at the number 10 on my old apartment’s door
That’s one ghost that can’t bite me anymore
And someday we will all feel at home in our new skin
And someday we will never be alone again
When the sun comes up and the night has passed
We shall all be healed at last, at last, at last
