Mountain Goats - Chinese House Flowers lyrics

rate me

the wax paper that i taped over the windows

melted as quick as chocolate in the heat

and it'll probably never come off now

the windows look like frosted glass if you see them from the street

and the dim light that filters through

casts a new light on you

it makes me get all misty because i remember something

and then i see your shadow

and i, i wanna follow you all the way down this time

i want to see what it is you're going down for

i, i want you more than i want anything

i want you the way you were

you were lying in the moonlight outside in the grass

when i heard an animal voice somewhere in the dark

and i saw a wing shadow pass

and just then the gleam in your eye made my blood freeze

there was something up above us

rustling in the branches of the trees

and i, i pressed up against you again

i could hear your heartbeat steady, and hard, and pure

i used to love you so much that i was sure it would kill me

and i want you the way you were
