MODEST MOUSE - History Sticks To Your Feet lyrics

rate me

<BR>

At the movies, eyes iced over<br>

Walking sideways, through the gutters<br>

And you realize that the floor sticks to your feet like history<br>

Don't you look at me like life don't hold you any mystery<br>

Bag of splinters boiling over, on your back expose your belly<br>

Optimism doesn't change the facts, just what you're gonna see<br>

<br>

Like it was stated that we're walking salt and coal<br>

Plants solidify sunshine; how this started, I don't know<br>

Causing feet and entire chain shoe stores<br>

The sun's diary pulled up from deep canary holes<br>

And when we read it, our skin, it becomes warm<br>

<br>

At the movies, eyes iced over<br>

Walking sideways, through the gutters<br>

And you realize that the floor sticks to your feet, your history<br>

I'm gonna slap that look off your face like life don't hold you no mystery<br>

All those red marks on our shoulders<br>

Self back patting, homemade trophies<br>

Well the past only exists as tiny bricks we burn to release all its memories<br>

I've had enough with rolling boulders, I want more moss on me<br>

<br>

Clocks to splinters but time goes forward<br>

And when them tree drop leaves your feet collect their memories<br>

I guess all us snakes find our tails pretty damn tasty!!<br>

<br>

I heard you mention we're walking salt and coal<br>

Plants solidify sunshine; how this started, I don't know<br>

Causing feet and entire chain shoe stores<br>

The sun's diary pulled up from deep canary holes<br>

And when we read it, our skin, it becomes warm<br>

<br>

At the movies, eyes iced over<br>

Walking sideways, through the gutters<br>

And you realize that the floor sticks to your feet, your history<br>

I'm gonna knock that look off your face like life don't hold you no mystery<br>

<BR><BR>
