MODEST MOUSE - Guilty Cocker Spaniels lyrics

rate me

<BR>

Well I took off running at the greatest speed<br>

I didn't bother looking to either side of me<br>

Oh, I did not see, I just did not see what was really going on<br>

Oh, the trees had stopped and the skyline rose<br>

Extanging comfort for more fashionable clothes<br>

I'd left the hills at this point in time<br>

To run on treadmills in a perfect line<br>

Salad days add up to daily shit<br>

Sparking imagination till the sparks did quit<br>

And if this is fun why'm I so bored with it?<br>

Well I'll probably never know<br>

<br>

Guilty cocker spaniels eating table scraps<br>

When we rolled over, how our masters clapped<br>

It felt so good we wanted more of that<br>

But when the program failed they defensively laughed<br>

Sayin' "We did things just how you asked,<br>

Don't try taking us to task.<br>

You didn't buy a face, nope just a mask,<br>

So HAPPY HALLOWEEN!!"<br>

<br>

I drew a blank, we put it in a frame<br>

Wait, what? You're winning?<br>

You didn't say this was a game<br>

Well I guess I just have to play and play till I'm out of cash<br>

<br>

Before I could spit it out<br>

I guess the words had burnt my mouth, what can I say?<br>

Worst of all I laid it out<br>

So you could take it out of context anyway<br>

<br>

We said all along we deserved every bit<br>

And mostly we knew that the supply would quit<br>

But we got going and going and just went till everybody lost their minds<br>

Directly behind being ahead of the time<br>

But don't worry, you'll fall right in line<br>

Yup, everythings just fine, fine, fine<br>

No one's getting blamed this time<br>

<br>

Blameless, oh blameless, can we find a way to blame our way out?<br>

Well I post dated the eulogy for every blames body now<br>

We are blamelessly teething on much more than we need now, now now<br>

Blameless teething<br>

Well we're all getting blamed cuz everyone knew<br>

That's right.<br>

Everybody knew.<br>

<BR><BR>
