Modest Mouse - The Ground Walks, With Time In A Box (Lyrics)

Open up a window All the air, all the air is falling out Eyes vacuum up light Sound gets trapped by the mouth What to do with the remainder When the dents, the dents get hammered out Then we'll travel through time The world's an inventor with its work Crawling, running, squirming 'round Trees drop colorful fruits Directly into our mouths The world's an inventor We're the dirtiest thing it's thought about And we really don't mind We'll probably never get there Bring your sightseers, schoolteachers down It's a watercolor weekend All the trees are turning colors now We'll probably never get there Bring your candy taster time wasters around And we'll fuck with their minds

Modest Mouse - The Best Room (Lyrics)

Let loose with your charms Go reckless, unharmed We all signed the card: "Get well, but don't you try too hard" The lessons unlearned Oh, this meeting is adjourned Oh, these Western concerns Hold my place in line while I get your turn To the empty balconies we serenade All the playgrounds where them kids don't get to play Dirty parkies went and chased them all away To the game consoles to fatten The best room they have Is the last room you want The bathroom's outside Police tape is tied To the doorknobs of rooms Nine through thirty-two These Western concerns We beg while we chew These Western concerns are all I ever really learned to be concerned with But don't you, don't you know it's hard Feeling tired every time that you try? Ain't it hard feeling tired all the time?
