Mountain Goats - No Children lyrics

rate me

"I hope that our few remaining friends give up on trying to save us

I hope we come out with a fail-safe plot to piss off the dumb few that forgave us

I hope the fences we mended fall down beneath their own wieght

And I hope we hang on past the last exit, I hope it's already too late

And I hope the old junkyard a few blocks from here someday burns down

And I hope the rising black smoke carries me far away

And I never come back to this town again...in my life

I hope I lie and tell everyone you were a good wife

And I hope you die, I hope we both die

I hope I cut myself shaving tomorrow, I hope it bleeds all day long

Our friends say it's darkest before the sun rises

We're pretty sure they're all wrong

I hope it stays dark forever, I hope the worst isn't over

And I hope you blink before I do and I hope I never get sober

And I hope when you think of me years down the line

You can't find one good thing to say

And I hope that if I find the strength to walk out,

You'd stay the hell out of my way

I am dronwing, there is no sign of land

You are coming down with me, hand in unloveable hand

And I hope you die, I hope we both die"
