The Mountain Goats — Almost Every Door

[Verse 1] Cower in the corner Try hard to disappear The moment’s never going to come When anyone can say that the coast is clear Maybe turn around Find a wall to break your fist on [Refrain] Almost every door’s an exit Just not this one [Verse 2] Dream about the outside Sprinting down the open plain Barefoot and outclassed Bloody up the broken grain Every cartoon keg TNT and nitroglycerin [Refrain] Almost every door’s an exit Just not this one [Bridge] Pause before each door Like a sinner lost in prayer Always one more hallway At the bottom of the stair [Verse 3] I get knocked down But I get up again like a dunce Cave’s all sealed up Nowhere to hide out in the winter months Aiming for the blackout Spare a prayer for souls in prison [Refrain] Almost every door’s an exit Just not this one [Outro]
