I'm so tired
when the alarm goes off
I don't have time I'm late
I hear the storm
constantly pouring down
the overwhelmed drainage grates
I'm on the couch
next to the monitors
my new friend used to play
his new band
he's gotta go to work
and I've got a show today
but I look in the mirror
the rain covered mirror
and I think
is anyone else alive?
is anyone else mattering?
I look in the mirror
the passenger mirror
and think
does anyone's face decline?
can anyone stop me shattering?
Well at least
I got to carpool
with the shoegaze engineer
Through the streets
we were a car
we were a boat we were a hydroplane
lack of funds
lack of planning
and general lack of will
and we're drowning together
la la la la la
we've got a dumb mandate to fill
but I look in the mirror
the passenger mirror
and I think
is anyone else alive?
is anyone else on call tonight?
and then I shoot out the mirror
and I turn away from the mirror
and I open the door to rain
and I open my door to a flooded track

I love Lovecraft in Brooklyn, and this version captures the energy of the Mountain Goats in concert as well as any recording I've heard. My absolute favorite, but the live version of See America Right is a close second. Bangers, the both of 'em. theoysterking
