The Mountain Goats — Night of the Mules

[Verse 1] Streetlights gave off a yellow glow On the holly and the mistletoe You could feel the rain coming down And quiet starlight hardened the ground 'Til the street shone like a diamond Look sister, here comes a new genuine disaster [Refrain] Clip-clop up the street See the rain, feel the sleet Yeah [Verse 2] The cold air, unpredictable weather Ten or twenty of us huddled together Hearing the praying growing louder Snowflakes falling, fine white powder Here come the new kings The hooves clack and the metal sings [Refrain] Clip-clop up the street See the rain, feel the sleet Yeah
