Mountain Goats - Deianara Crush lyrics

rate me

one day in september you come here.

you pull my head down

and you whisper in my ear.

and you tell me the sidewalk is as far as the world really goes

but that's a secret everybody knows.

you hold my head in your hands.

you say my name.

how is it that though you say it some twenty thousand times

it's never quite the same

and you tell me that hercules died burning

consumed by an article of his own clothing

that's something I'd rather not be reminded of.
