Mountain Goats - Cry For Judas lyrics

rate me

Some things you do just to see how bad they'll make you feel

Sometimes you try to freeze time 'til the slots are a blur of spinning

Wheels

But I am just a broken machine

And I do things that I don't really mean

Long black night

Morning frost

I'm still here

But all is lost

Speed up to the precipice and then slam on the brakes

Some people crash two or three times and then learn from their mistakes

We are the ones who don't slow down at all

And there's nobody there to catch us when we fall

Long black night

Morning frost

I'm still here

But all is lost

Feel the storm every night

Hope it passes by

Hallucinate a shady grove where Judas went to die

Unfurl the black velvet altar cloth

Draw a white chalk battlement

Mistreat your Altar Boys long enough and this is what you get

Sad and angry... can't learn how to behave

Still won't know how in the darkness of the grave

Long black night

Morning frost

I'm still here

But all is lost
