The Mountain Goats — No Children Jordan Lake Sessions Volume 1

[Verse 1] I hope that our few remaining friends Give up on trying to save us I hope we come up with a fail-safe plot To piss off the dumb few that forgave us I hope the fences we mended Fall down beneath their own weight And I hope we hang on past the last exit I hope it's already too late [Pre-Chorus 1] And I hope the junkyard a few blocks from here Someday burns down And I hope the rising black smoke carries me far away And I nеver come back to this town again [Chorus 1] In my life I hopе I lie, and tell everyone you were a good wife And I hope you die I hope we both die [Verse 2] I hope I cut myself shaving tomorrow I hope it bleeds all day long Our friends say it's darkest before the sun rises Well, we're pretty sure they're all wrong I hope it stays dark forever I hope the worst isn't over And I hope you blink before I do And I hope I never get sober [Pre-Chorus 2] And I hope when you think of me years down the line You can't find one good thing to say And I'd hope that if I found the strength to walk out You'd stay the hell out of my way [Chorus 2] I am drowning There is no sign of land You are coming down with me Hand in unlovable hand And I hope you die I hope we all die [Instrumental Interlude] That's right [Outro] Thank you, good night! It really is weird playing that song, just completely dry, sober. With nobody... nobody's screaming No people hugging each other, mashing face It's probably, like, ten clicks slower than the encore tempo Yeah, my encore's not gonna be, haha
