The Mountain Goats — The Hot Garden Stomp

[Verse 1] The moon was unbearably high Flowering plant that hung from the radiator pipe Was dripping sweat from its rapidly fading petals And to the humming world in which I was living A crescendoing stepping sound came in Heard you stepping over three weeks' worth of newspapers Piled up outside the door [Chorus 1] I hear you knocking Come in Turn on the radio Turn up the volume [Verse 2] You sat down in the same place where you used to sit It brought back a memory or two I may not know much anymore, but I remember you You were quiet for a while, and that was nice Then you came along with your questions Always questions I don't have any answers to those particular questions [Chorus 2] I hear you talking Shut up! Turn on the radio Turn up the volume
