The Mountain Goats — The Slow Parts on Death Metal Albums

Jumping out of my skin This tiny sector can't contain me Suit up in a flash Slipping symbols bravely, bravely Go where I'm not wanted Stand where the light hits hard Almost full grown Drive home alone and listen to the slow parts In a new universe Trying to find the mask that fits me Shaking the curse Behaving as the beacons bid me Denim and leather Silver strap to please the diehards Let me dance 'til I die Turn the volume up high and listen to the slow parts Aliеn ships from ancient realms (Ships from ancient rеalms) Ageless captains at their helms (Captains at their helms) Rage from the sea Let it begin with me Half-life of my toxins Difficult to calculate Stock up on gauze in case of accidents Try to keep my story straight Dozens like me Never quite free, filling out our dance cards Mark my time on the wall Answer the call and listen to the slow parts
