The Mountain Goats — Down Here Where the Bullet Bills Are

[Verse 1] Such a long way to go Such a strong pull from the upworld undertow Nothing seems to happen when I wish upon a star Down here where the bullet bills are [Verse 2] Such a long life to live Only so much of myself left to give We'd all stick together if we were standing on Zanzibar It's just me and my cap down here where the bullet bills are [Bridge] At the bottom of the maze Knocked down all day All day, every day for the rest of my days [Verse 3] Such a long line behind I know why I'm here, not sure what you all have in mind No one will remember this run, not gonna leave a memoir Just a ghostly crackling afterglow Down here where the bullet bills are Where the bullet bills are [Outro: Roman] Daddy, please! Daddy, come quick!
