The Mountain Goats — Burned My Tongue

Woke up this morning about a quarter to five Said the prayer you'd taught me to keep myself alive It burned my tongue It burned my tongue Fried some grains in butter Said a simple grace Sat down at the table Fed my greedy face It burned my tongue It burned my tongue Looked out at the ocean I could see it so clear Said the only name I can ever stand to hear It burned my tongue It burned my tongue When i ask you to sing with me I wish you'd sing along Thirty years in this world -- Thirty years too long It burns my tongue It burns my tongue You tooks away my friends You took my will to live I gave you all i got What more have i got to give? It burns my tongue It burns my tongue It burns my tongue It burns my tongue
