MODEST MOUSE - Ocean Breathes Salty



Album: Good News For People Who Love Bad News (2004)





Your body may be gone, I'm gonna carry you in.

In my head, in my heart, in my soul.

And maybe we'll get lucky and we'll both live again.

Well I don't know. I don't know. I don't know. Don't think so.



Well that is that and this is this.

Well thanks for the time, I needed to think a spell.

And maybe we'll get lucky and we'll both grow old.

Well I don't know. I don't know. I don't know. I hope so.



Well that is that and this is this.

You tell me what you want and I'll tell you what you get.

You get away from me. You get away from me.

Collected my belongings and I left the jail.

Well thanks for the time, I needed to think a spell.

I had to think awhile. I had to think awhile.



Well that is that and this is this.

When the earth folded on itself.

And said "Good luck, for your sake I hope heaven and hell

are really there, but I wouldn't hold my breath."

You wasted life, why wouldn't you waste death?

You wasted life, why wouldn't you waste death?



The ocean breathes salty, won't you carry it in?

In your head, in your mouth, in your soul.

The more we move ahead the more we're stuck in rew
