The Mountain Goats — Korean Bird Paintings The Jordan Lake Sessions Volume 3

[Verse] Yesterday I put in a good 5 hours Talking to the statues Chased your memory all around the room Didn't manage to catch you But I cleaned out the savings account Blew everything I had on flowers Covered up the furniture in carnations Rolled around for hours And there are those of you, who got the wrong idea right now But man you should've seen me when I got through Indistinguishable from a fourth-century Briton Waiting on the couch for you And I put all the extras on the credit card Mobiles of the galaxy and mylar balloons Everything we'd saved up in one room at the same time Cartoon stars, crescent moons Thank you notes, get well cards Condolences, congratulations Bright colors, hues and signals Reminders and reverberations [Outro] By request, never played live.
