Die hard, die kicking

Mountain Goats. Mostly music, sometimes other things too.

I write reminders on my skin

Clip meaningless pictures from old magazines

I tape them to the walls, it’s a bad place I’m in

TV upstairs Leave it on all night Do what I have to do Add, subtract, and divide by 2 But my eyes light up At cops and robbers time I hope the bad guys win I hope the good guys get their skulls bashed in

from Black Pear Tree (2008)

Second song in about an hour or so.

No brakes down, an endless dark incline Most of the boys won’t ever cross this line If they all wanna die dead broke, that’s fine, that’s fine Everybody’s got their limits, nobody’s found mine

from Beat the Champ (2015)

I know I posted the live version of this very recently, but yesterday they released this studio version and goddamn.

Everything I’ve told you was true So imagine my surprise when I blink my eyes And realize that I’ve been talking to you And I’ve told you everything Even the parts I’d meant to leave out

Seeds came in the mail today from Holland And the language on the package was wonderful and strange All sorts of flowers that grow up from the earth In goodly colors, gloriously arranged I circled the house and I scattered them around Let the water sink down into the soil Stared a long time at the residue Blood, milk, and oil God, the humidity is something Our shirts are soaked clean through The house is throbbing and the heat keeps coming And I keep looking at you And then you’re singing in Dutch to me And I recognize the song It seems so old and so fragile I haven’t heard it in so long We may throw the windows open later But we are not as far west as we suppose we are Hot wind coming off the water The sky gone crazy with stars While we stay here, we imagine we’re alive We see shadows on the walls There’s something waiting for us in the hot, wet air Sweat, water, and alcohol Just the old blood Rising up through the wooden floor again Just the old love Asking for more again

I cry when I’m hungry Something is wrong with my brain And the ghost of our future’s awake in the attic He moans and he wails as he rattles his chain

We embrace on the floor in the kitchen Emissaries from neighboring lands When I hunt down the vampire who did this to us I will rip out his heart with my hands I will rip out his heart with my hands
