The Mountain Goats — The Only Thing I Know

[Intro] [Verse 1: John Darnielle] When you came back from Trenton All the sparkle was gone You stood in the shadow And the curtains were drawn [Chorus 1] And I know you're lying And you know you're lying too That is just about The only thing I know about you [Verse 2] When you pocketed your eyeshadow And you picked up the phone Stepped on the balcony And drank in the drone [Chorus 2] And I know you're leaving You know you're leaving too That is just about The only thing I know about you [Verse 3] When you stopped on the sidewalk And you looked up above you The warm, wet air came down the shelter How much do I love you [Chorus 3] Well, you know you're dying And I know you're dying too That is just about The only thing I know about you [Outro]
