The Mountain Goats — Corsican Mastiff Stride

[Verse 1] We sail, we sleep, we scry dry land We dig a pit beneath the sand A place to keep the sun at bay At dark we rise and find our way [Chorus] With our faithful companion by our side Put it all on the table and let it ride Close to the dropoff on our long slide [Verse 2] The land we left becomes a dream The ghosts we knew, they rise like steam They leave some trails against the sky All but invisible to the eye [Chorus] With our faithful companion by our side Put it all on the table and let it ride Close to the dropoff on our long slide [Bridge] Call off the search party Let mourners wail by the shore Point to the spot where our ship disappeared We're not coming home anymore [Verse 4] Should you succeed and breach the coast You tell your friends you've seen a ghost You tell them all there's nothing here worth dying for You leave it there with your [Chorus] Faithful companion by our side Put it all on the table and let it ride We are close to the dropoff on our long slide Go
