LYRICS
Tile floor of the bathroom
Scrubbed clean and bright
Checkerboard white and grey
Towels from the Ritz-Carlton hotel in Kingston, Jamaica
I can still see the rust colored stains today
The stage is set
Someone's gonna do something someone else will regret
I speak in the smoke signals and you answer in code
The fuse will have to run out sometime
Something here will eventually have to explode
Have to explode
You and me lying on the tile floor
Trying to keep cool
Restless all night
Sweating out the poison
As the temperature climbs
Staring up, up, at the hundred-watt light that burns above
You name one thing about us two, anyone could love
We roll out the red carpet
When rotten luck comes down the road
Five, four, three, two, one
Watch for the flash
Something here will eventually have to explode
Have to explode
Yeah, yeah!
Na-na-na-na
Hi, we're the Mountain Goats
Welcome back to Jordan Lake
This uh, day two
So it's settling in, y'know, day two of the two-night stand
And if you come in that's where
You know, we've basically been sleeping in the same place
For two days instead of moving around all the time
We've been sleeping the same place for 363 days
At the same concept applies
Uhm, so uh
This is also in Tallahassee it's called, "Game shows touch our lives"

This might be controversial, but I don't think the Mountain Goats should explode.

For a second I started singing “This is a song with the same four chords I use most of the time when I got something on my mind” ❤️🙂

[@Uberwenis]

When you know, you know

[@Arakon1]

Haven't listened to the song in years, put it on and find myself knowing every single word as I sing along.

[@321bytor]

[@howtomeetwomen-]

I like your name, it's a curiosity

[@anarchyaracnid]

@@howtomeetwomen- why thank you, i relate to your name

[@bassmanxan3544]

If you remove the dash it becomes a much more sinister title
