MODEST MOUSE - Guilty Cocker Spaniel lyrics

rate me

Well I took off running at the greatest speed

I didn't bother looking to either side of me

Well I didn't see, I just didn't see

What was really going on

The truth had stopped and the skyline rose

Exchanging comfort for more fashionable clothes

I'd left the hills at this point in time

To run on treadmills in a perfect line

Salad days add up to daily shit

Sparked imagination until the sparks just quit

And if this is fun, why am I so bored with it?

Well I'll probably never know

Guilty cocker spaniels eating table scraps

Well we rolled over, how our masters clapped

It felt so good we wanted more than that

But when the program failed they defensively laughed

We did things just how you asked

Don't try taking us to task

Didn't bite a face, no just a mask

So happy Halloween!

I drew a blank, we put it in a frame

Wait what you're winning, you didn't say this was a game

Well I guess I'll just have to play and play

Until I'm out of cash

Before I could spit it out

I guess the words had burnt my mouth

What can I say?

There's the thought I laid it down

So you could take it out of context

Either way

We said all along we deserve every bit

And mostly we knew that the supply would quit

But we got going, going just away with it

Until everybody lost their mind

Directly behind me and ahead of the time

But don't you worry he'll fall right in line

Yep, everything just might fly by

No ones getting blamed this time

Blame me so blameless

Can we find a way to blame our way out?

Well I postdated the eulogy

For every blameless body, nah nah

We are blamelessly teething

On much more than we need, nah nah nah

Blamelessly teething

Well we're all getting blamed

While everyone, everyone knew

Well everybody, everybody knew
